Lockheed Martin doesn't like my Mastercard :(

It's mostly about the outside connections. If the country has a poor connection to one of the european nodes like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, no ISP can help you.

Ever tried downloading from the local website, ftp or similar?

Err, I'm not sure I get that. What local website do you mean?

there must be some local sites with which you can test your connection. anything local like news, stores, whatever. important is that the server is local.

Greece. Most providers advertise speeds up to 24Mbps, yet it's impossible to get above 10 Mbps.

 

Lucky you :P Here ISPs offer barely 5-10 Mbps, rarely I've seen ads for 15 or more :(

 

Back to topic, a noob question: does P3D cover the entire world, just like FS9 and FSX?

P3D is the whole world, p3d is exactly like fsx, actually it is fsx but with updates from Lockheed Martin and some devs that worked on fsx. Trust me, STOP BUYING FS9/FSX payware and go buy P3D, i feel like crap now that i spent thousands on fs9/fsx when i could have just focused on P3D and P3D payware.

I guess Speedtest.net counts? That's where I test my connection's speed with servers around the world.

Ads don't matter. It's the speed that you're getting. While we're getting ads for 24Mbps, the maximum is 10Mbps and the average is 5Mbps. So we're not any better than you. e5122151.gif

I'd like to see Virtualcol and Wilco/Feelthere's stance regarding P3D (90% of my payware is from them). Would P3D run in a i5 laptop with Intel graphics? I couldn't do so with FSX, not without busting CPU temperature limits.

 

Y'all can have my rockin 512k :)

.

512k... in Texas??? Something is wrong....

I live 50 miles from the nearest "town." My neighbors are cows and oil wells. I'm lucky to have a small wireless ISP that has 512.
