Okay so google is saying that they can provide REALLY good service with internet and TV.

My question is... Just how true do they hold to it with the "free internet"?

Also, gigabit != gigabyte. Gigabyte = 1024MB, Gigabit = 125MB

So in the end, if it's fully optimized, it'll actually go at speeds of 50MB or more.

Somehow I don't see this happening at all if I choose free internet...

As I mentioned, 8 bits in a byte...

1 Gbps x 60 seconds in a minute / 8 = 7.5 GB/minute

Ah, found this. http://web.forret.com/tools/filesize.asp?speed=1&unit=Gbps&dur=60 Now, again, this ASSUMES optimal speeds, which more than not likely will not happen. The road says 7.5 GB/minute, but if a lot of people get on that road, will they slow down and if so what will their speed be? We need to get someone who has this to tell us. But guess what I just found?

1.1 GB/min 'real' speed. The "free" internet speed they cap at the national average of 5 Mbps instead of 1000 (or 1024 if you want to be specific) Mbps, or 37.5 MB/minute according to that website, again, assuming optimal speed.

More links of me finding real internet speed:

Still better than my internet. XD Now as far as actual Steam goes... I've been playing Demigod and it's a great game... but I believe it's missing some content.
 
I think it's really amazing. XD But it would be perfect if it had double the characters and double the maps (or triple) XD Then it would be honestly perfect.
 
24 hour sale... if you were disappointed in D3 and wish Torchlight 2 will hurry the heck up, do check out Titan Quest. I played it to death years ago. It does get a bit repetitive (what action RPGs like this doesn't?), but it has a neat-o dual class system. For less than 4 USD the only reason not to get it is, well, like me right now, too much other CRAP to do.
 
I have it, but I don't have anyone to play with. I've only gotten past the first chapter, mainly because playing alone SUCKS.

Also, D3 was terrible, not only was it completely overhyped, the expectations for it were so high when they announced that they were alpha testing, the game completely bombed, even though they made a HUGE profit.
 
Well I wasn't expecting it to be good. XD It was kind of funny actually. A friend of mine said it was good. But it was just... literally obvious he was saying it to not feel bad about having spent so much money in it.
 
By the way, you still play Medieval 2? Thing is I played it again the other day. But the AI is seriously flawed. And I don't mean even enemy AI... but my own units. Like sometimes I tell a unit to move down the castle walls... and half the unit comes down, half the unit doesn't even move.
It's some serious AI faults that I know I didn't use to have before. And apparently no on else has. :/
 
I just don't know what's going on with this thing. At least Rome 2 is coming out... and I know it's going to be amazing~

I'll be too busy with so many other games by that time... Guild Wars 2, Dark Souls, etc...

That is my problem too... not to mention a long list of books to read on top of that.
 
Dark Souls over Rome 2? You're all kidding me. XD

But it's fine. I'll get stuff of how amazing it will be in the meanwhile. Haha. *Super evil laugh*

Darksiders 2 in 8 hours! Anyone pre-order? Do it quick because you get a bunch of exclusive junk and really you just pay a couple hours earlier.
