We even have ASDL here in UK, so that just shows how shitty our overall connection, when we have to drop the up speed just to get 2MB or 3MB.
I can get 1MB~ 2MB download top speed during the day which is peak hours. It bumps up to 6MB after like 11pm.
Rest of the world should catch up, hah. Sorry we have more pressing responsibilities, for example taking out Gaddaffis vehicle. Although UK is spending 9 billion on improvements for Internet connection. Our goal here is to give 99% of the country access to broadband - not provide a low amount of people with super ultra fast internet.

Interfering in another countries internal affairs is more important than domestic issues? Oh okay.
What I have is "broadband", it's not "super ultra fast internet". If I wanted ultra super fast internet I'd pay $260/month for a full duplex Gigabit (1000mbps) FTTH (Fiber To The Home) connection. The normal person top-end plan is 250mbps/15mbps with no bandwidth cap for $150/month.

Hmm, faster internet connections or stopping someone who has ordered attacks on homeground in the past and literally drags an entire country to it knees by extortion, murder and other crimes against humanity?
Oh and may I point out the majority of the telephone lines used for said internet connections are owned by BT.

Your getting 50mbps without fibre? How is that possible? Canada must have some fantastic telephone infrastructure I tell you.
Here in UK we can only get 40/50mbps using fibre optics, you have to big in a major city to have it.

It's complete crap to be honest. Rogers has slowed down almost all of Ontario after 6 p.m. to "Share" the internet with everyone that demands it. I pay 140 dollars every month and I get about 0.26mbps to 10 mbps at the nice peak hours. Its completely horrible. And when you call them up you get some bullshit Indian that tells you to disconnect everything and reconnect. (oh and they gave me a fake number to some service man that apparently doesnt exist...)

I have download limits the same as everyone else. My statement was ignorant of the people who live in places where there are strict download limits, such as rented housing and school dorms. I was not thinking at the time.

It was sort of an example for internet speed. Is the UK the only region in Europe that has slow internet? I know tons of people from the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Norway, and Germany that have holy fuck fast speeds compared to Canada. You don't have to be connected the whole time since you can just pause the download and resume later.

Damn. Well, the rest of the world should catch up. Hell, the rest of Canada should catch up with what they have over on the West Coast. Freelancer paying $40/month for 50mbps download speed? The fuck? My dad pays $60/month for 15mbps with a 95GB bandwidth cap.

Holy fuck is that the case? I've been getting random disconnects from the Internet almost 7 times a day for 15 minutes at a time Since late August. Mind you, this is always at night around 7PM-1AM EST. When the internet is connected, I still get my max speed, though. I was gonna call them up and see what the fuck was happening, but I never ended doing it since the condition has improved since last Thursday. I don't know if it's because my modem is so old or because the ISP is taking a dump. The modem has worked flawlessly for the past 7 years, though.
All that off-topic bullshit aside, for everyone who hasn't played the game yet (myself included), here's a little vid on the camo customization. Camo are unlocks. I'm guessing the SPECACT ones from Best Buy are just regular camo unlocks that get unlocked for them day one:

I'm pretty sure not everyone needs 50mbps download speeds, until last week I had been running off 100kb/s for the last 4 years and had been doing just fine in terms of receiving information!
