~@~Pangaea Annual Fund Drive~@~

[Tyrion]

Main problem with lag today exist because the server is running on my private internet connection. 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?.

Fair enough, going to donate € 20,- (not $)

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

Do you accept donations by western union?

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