Where you live. Living in America, it's horrible. I was wondering if it was any better where you guys lived. We pay like $40USD/month for 5 down, and we still only get about 2 down.

Please do tell your speeds.

I've got 8mbit down, 1mbit up for 35 euro/month including Usenet payserver. I only get about 6mbit of that speed though because I live too far from the central phone thingy. In the Netherlands ofcourse :)

i am in san francisco, ca in merka, and i have the comcast cable gamers delight dealio. i get 8Mb down (though usually more like 10!), but unfortunately only get about 750k up (never ever more). this costs me about $50 merkin a month plus i have to get their cheesy cable t.v. which i already upgraded like an ass (those bastards sucked me in with comedy central for the daily show (one of the most worthwhile shows on in my opinion)).

March 15th, 2006, 00:07

I've got 2MB down, 1MB up, I think. Although we're supposed to be getting 8MB download soon if our line gets upgraded as planned.

amjadabbas wins though, because he gets to live in Toronto, possibly my favourite city in the world

holyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! 2MB/sec?? how much u pay for it??
i read few days ago that London will experience world's fastest internet service...i donno ab0ut peterborough!! is that the same u r talking about??

ya man!! toronto is my favorite city too!!

Curry

March 15th, 2006, 09:32

I think Studley meant 2Mb/sec instead of 2MB ;)

On the other hand, we've been having ADSL2+ for a while already in the Netherlands, offering 20Mbps like Messiah mentioned. Don't think you're going to find any faster than that without resorting to glass fibre :)

It's not ADSL or ADSL2 though, that can technically only do 1024 up?

Im at 10 Mbit download/ 10Mbit upload. it used to be 100Mbit/sec however they decided that 10Mbit would be sufficient for the most users,

Fibreglass connection and im paying only 11 euro/month :-) (included in my rent hehe)
Its my university building in Nijmegen/Netherlands
so I guess I have to kill you..... :D

Pretty sweet upload you've got there :DNow that's bitching cheap 8)7 And I thought NL was good at cheap inet :)

Not completely true... With the current modems it is, but somehow they're working on a ADSL2+ modem with 3mbit upload. It'll cost you a couple of mbit download, but who cares if now the most got 20mbit or so

10Mb down, 1 mbit up. Don't know what the costs are, my company pays it for me O+

I'm not 100% sure on what my download speed is supposed to be. It's either 6 or 8 mbps. I pay for 768 kbps upload.

Whenever I do speed test, I get 5.5mbps down and 700 kbps up.

I usually host games when I play with friends. I do have one friend with Verizon FIOS. That's like 15mbps down and 2 mbps up. He hosts when he's around.

A good way to check out your actual speed vs. what you pay for is www.pcpitstop.com

You can do upload and download tests.

1.5mb down 256k up w/ a 17gig a month download cap. This cost $80 a month. I'm on satellite internet, because it is the only thing available besides dial-up in my area. :'( Oh yah did I mention the latency is 1300ms+, which is 1.3 seconds!

That's speedtest doesn't work that good for me...

http://www.speedtest.net/result/173019986.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I find that there are no good speedtests that can measure my connection.

I have a 20mbit/20mbit fibre connection (including TV and Telephone) for 49euro. At the end of this month i get a free upgrade to 35/35 :)

That's in the netherlands by the way..

If you can't find tests that measure what you have, maybe you're like the most of us who pay for one thing but don't actually receive it. I mean, how do you actually know if you get 20down/up other than your bill?

You don't.

You are paying for a maximum of XX but they do not report to supply that at all times, if ever. Thats just the most you could ever get in theory.

When i'm downloading from usenet i really get 20mbit down. So i get what i pay for. But i can't find speedtests who measure it correctly.

This is what speedtest shows for my connection, http://www.speedtest.net/result/182601642.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

But it finishes download the file before the speed stop climbing. Same thing with the upload.

Speedtest sucks, can't even get over 6000KB/sec from colocated servers directly on 1Gbit backbones.

Probably Sky, they offered me that too. Have sky movies & have broadband for £4.99 a month forever until you cancel movies/sports.

Orange. Thats for wireless too, but i plug straight into the box. You get the deal if you are on 18 month contracts with Orange, its my fiance who's got the phone so its a great deal in my eyes. I pay £5 per month on my phone contract too. Bargain!! \o/

That's with DSL. I'll be calling Comcast next week for cable.
