During my recent trip to the U.S. I was shocked by the difference in speed of .Mac service - compared to what I normally experience in Russia. I have originally signed up for .Mac family account from Russia, almost two years ago. I have been using it quite happily ever since. Well, it was kind of slow, especially when uploading and viewing web galleries, but I blamed it on my not-so-fast Internet connection and the fact that Russian ISPs may have limited bandwidth on trans-Atlantic connections.
It turns out, that all .Mac users outside of the U.S. are experiencing the same. Moreover, as I mentioned ina recent post there is an online petition to Apple to make .Mac faster for the rest of us.
Now, while in the U.S., I was uploading some photos I took there to a new web gallery on .Mac - I could not believe that the upload finished in a few seconds. I was on a regulal hotel Wi-Fi connection at that time. It was amazing. Here in Russia, it would take me at least 10-15 minutes to accomplish the same. Now - that a difference!
Give us faster .Mac, Apple - please!
