After I enter a fake American ZIP code, it then takes me to a page to give me a quote for broadband. There it has a speed test link, which takes me back to where I came from.

I entered a California ZIP. They probably thought "He's from California, I bet we can sell him stuff!".

I used CA1 because I had no idea what an American ZIP code should look like. Usually some state (two letters) followed by a number works when I need it for forms. I base it on English postcodes, which are for example: IP2 8LG (2 letter town, number, space, number, random 2 letters).

I'm sure you're all fascinated by this. I'll go find my beanie hat.

Location - North Ayrshire (Great Britain)
ISP - Freeserve
Cost - 13 a month (20$US roughly)
Connection - 56K Modem

I took this during peak time, when I tend to connect at my slowest.

Indeed when this was done, I was connected (according to the computer) at 18K or something. However at night time I have been known to creep up to around 28K

Ours kinda make sense. The first two letters are obvious, the first number is a region, and I'm sure the rest means something.

we right the state too, just not next to the postcode :)

i have a terrible feeling a package i am waiting for from the states has gone to washington (WA) instead of here, western australia (also WA)

I know

Little fucks like lingxiuo connect 140 times faster than me. Where’s the fucking justace in the world!


As for the UK post code

Say it was KA15 1HU

Well the KA stands for head sorting office in the area (KA being Kilmarnock, IP being Ipswich, etc)

the 15 stands for the area within that sorting offices area (so you have KA1 for the Kilmarnock area , right through to KA23 for the Maybole area.)


This area is then broken into 10 sub area’s, (the 1 part), which in turn is then broken into 26 sub area’s (the H part), then the U defines what sector within the area you are living (the 1H part), meaning your postcode it accurate to within few houses of showing where you live.
