    I pay for 10 Mbps cable service but apparently am getting 14 download. I would be satisfied, except my upload is pathetic (360k???).

    I have a 3.5G wireless connection through the local university though.
    Only running one laptop mainly for internet browsing.
    Once my other laptop gets here I will get the 4Mb/s.
    The wireless is good for outdoors but here all the walls are concrete, so the signal inside is pretty poor.

    Right now,

    [​IMG]

    but it is raining (stupid Clearwire), my brother is on Live and someone else is using the home computer. Normally I get around 3 DL and 1.5 UL which is good enough for $20 a month, though I am definitely switching when the contract runs out.

    Australia has pathetic internet, particularly Tasmania. It's actually so isolated I'm surprised Telstra supplies us with internet. I think that if they decided not to supply us Tasmanians, hardly anyone would care since the majority of people that live here are either old or redneck.

    Believe it or not, the absolute best plan available in my region is an 8Mb/s plan, and it costs $90 AUD per month. The plan I'm on at the moment is costing us $70 AUD per month, and our download limit is 12GB per month.

    When I'm old enough, I am really going to move to Melbourne, I can't stand living in the *** end of the world.

    I pay 10 bucks but it can slow down quite a bit when all my housemates use the wireless network at the same time.

    My second home's IS connection is in my sig. It's the most impressive I've seen around my area in a long time.
    My other home looks like this:
    [​IMG]

    That's actually about the best I've ever seen this 512kb put out.

    I know, it's embarrassing, but we live in the sticks and it is the best we can get, but I'm hoping that we'll have fiber out this way soon considering the issues we have when 4 different systems try to access this network

    Hey Han, What is your plan with the Comcast at home?? and is California State University an actual ISP?? Those speeds are remarkable. I understand in case of comcast, powerboost is helping the results, but its amazing to see California State University ISP offering such blazing speeds. What are they?? Are they associated with Cal State, San Jose campus somehow??

    The upload is always a solid 2 megabits/sec (or 256 kilobytes/sec) but the downlink speed typically fluctuates between 7 & 12mbps. I'm tempted to get 35/35 FiOS but i've heard that the included Actiontec router chokes BitTorrent and you can't substitute your own. Is this true?

    Time Warner blows hard. We're paying for 10M down, 768k up. I guess I should consider myself lucky, though...last week we weren't even getting 2 down.

    These results are typical on their cheapest non-economy plan, local ping is usually <15ms.

    I'm paying nothing for this speed
    and using a cheap Cat5e cable + $15 D-Link 5 port switch

    your computer won't utilize all of them anyways for normal usage :confused:
