   Being in Canada this is going to suck immensely having people just across the border with 1Gbps meanwhile I pay $100 for 15Mbps/950Kbps (cable TV included). Pretty soon I bet I'll come across someone say "Here look at this file...what wro

    Ha, don't worry about it. I was thinking it was the significant digits after the decimal. It's always been my weakness calculation-wise. How about 14E3 feet? :P

    This great but it's nearly entirely dependent on the network connection otherwise they're both useless. I supposedly have an HSPA+ 21Mbps connection yet only get 1Mbps/.03Kbps maybe 5Mbps/950Kbps Kbps on a good day and latency is 100ms or
