That means, that you all suffer when i send an email, my wife sends some project online - or when we use the internet connection at all.. Thats the case today - the problem is easily fixed, I just buy another dedicated internet connection for the server - so it doesnt share my line. The monthly cost is around 60 $ for a internet connection - and im willing to do so, but first when i have enough donations to cover the line for a year in advance. So donate 720 $, and you get an dedicated line for the next year... I guess that wont happen, since I havent received as much as 1 $ the last 6-8 months.
Stop
complaining about lag - or start donating big time.. Those are your options

The man speaks the truth. Our goal here is
$720. Post below when you have completed a donation and the amount so we can track the progress! If you are serious about improving the connection speed for our distance-challenged Pangaean community members, donate! Every little bit counts regardless if it is $1 or $100 donation.

So I guess this question is to Irming about the ISP, which company have you looked at and what speed will this money get the shard?.

I havent looked at any specific offers - but i will do so now, so you have an exact amount (the 720$ is an estimate). Ill post back here, when i have a specific offer from the danish operator TDC, which i have.

Would be cheaper to host in Finland, at Monad's or Wille's...

yeah, but they dont have the server, and hosting at another place is not an option.

I have now received a offer from Fullrate, which seems to be the best one. It is as follows:
Establishing fee: 20 $
Transport fee for router: 20$
Monthly fee [12mbit down/896 kbit up] - 40$.
So first year expenses = 20$ + 20$ + (12x40$) = 520 $.
this will get you an internet connection not used for anything else but pangaea traffic. I cannot guarantee you a lag free experience - but the line will be un used by anything but pangaea server.
The choice is yours

Isn't it basicly the same concept as Paypal? I registered and account today, took me a couple of minutes and that's it.
