What day and age is it when you live in an apartment complex and experience download rates that are CAPPED at 100KB/s? Obviously it's the 2007's, because I am living that nightmare right now.

I suppose I shouldn't complain too much, seen as how the internet is included in the rent, but I just can't see the justification in capping people at such a low rate...are they paying their ISP by the megabyte? Did they get an internet plan that included JUST enough bandwidth to supply every toom with 100KB/s bandwidth? In this day and age every room should have AT LEAST 300-500KB/s; we're living in the information age, slow internet just isn't going to cut it!

And here's something else that chafes me about the internet around here: any YouTube videos pulled from cache.googlevideo.com DO NOT LOAD. The majority of flash videos seem to be pulled from that site; whenever I want to watch a YouTube video, I'm stuck earmarking it and watching it later at work. Oh the humanity!

By the way, downloading 3.4GB of Painkiller (woo, got it at half price!) at 100KB/s does NOT equal fun. After letting it run overnight (seven hours or so), it's only downloaded ~700MB...*sigh* I suppose I'll just leave my computer running all day until it's downloaded.
