How fast is your connecton speed?

How fast is your connecton speed? As for me, minez is 512k.

 

512 now...

1.5+ at school

 

Not even 256! Peaks out at 125 or so, but its free; courtesy of the neighbors!!

 

I have 6Mbps Comcast Cable. I think they are bumping it up to 8 at some point.

 

How much is it a month?

I have DSL @ 1.5mbps and its $29.99.

I heard cable isnt the full 6mbps though, depends how many people are using it?

 

At home I have a 1.5Mbit (about 170k/sec) DSL
At work, I have a 10Mbit (about 1200kbyte/sec) cable

Most broadband companies have different packages. These vary by company, region, etc.
Right now sbc/att in my area are offering dsl 1.5 lines @ 12.99/month.
Your question is what package do you need? If your just an avid net surfer you dont need more
than a 1.5mbit line. but if your an intense gamer maybe look into 3.0mbit. If you have a large household
with several users gaming, surfing, etc then you might want to consider higher speeds. As far as which is better, DSL or cable? DSL is more consistant but offers slower speeds, cable is faster, but not consistant.

somewhere like 39.95-42.95 if you have comcast cable (like i do) and 57.95 if you don't (like chazman)

they say 6MBPS but it really isn't ever that fast. 8 is avialable but you have to pay more.

 

Just ran a speed test with my Comcast.

1mbps.

Around $60. High because I am not a cable subscriber so it is 8 or 9 more for me as posted.

I think the poster meant what speed are you paying for.

 

10 megaBIT!!!!

edit: sorry about the bad link, its seems i cant share just 1 file from my online photo share , hope this is better

 

Sykotic your link doesn't work.

I'm paying for 5M/384k. and getting my money's worth.

One of these days Ill try dial-up for old times sake

btw current connection is 8mb.

 

my current is 1MBps...but in a few days im switching to 6MBPs Comcast

 

3mbp cable (its usually about 2mbp) and I pay about 30 a month. This is the third fastest available in my area but I plan to upgrade to the best-5mbp sometime soon for an extra 20 a month..maybe

 

im on 1.5mbs and its 70$ AUD a month, the company that owns the phone network in australia sells its 1.5mbs lines to phone companies for 50$ so 60$ is about the cheapest you can get. yay for being ripped off.

 

???? i should brush up my english/american a bit more.
anyway, the link provides a good tool to check ur real "what speed are you paying for" connection speed at variable times.

cheers ...

 

I'm paying $110/month for a 5 static IP 5mb/768 dedicated business cable connection with Cox.

as you can see I'm getting a bit more than I pay for in speed.

 

Isn't Cable about 20 times faster than DSL? (in general terms)

 

It depends on your subscribed speed. Both cable and DSL offer pretty much the same speed, but if you go cheap you get slow access, if you need more speed, it will cost you more money. There are advantages to each. And they depend primarily on what you need the highspeed for. If you just surf the web and email, and typical 1.5Megabit will suffice. If you intend to file share or play heavy games, or have multiple computers, go with a 3.0 or a 6.0. Speeds that fast are offered by both, cable companies and DSL providers.

 

Download 2 Mbps, upload 256 Kbps, flat rate, some 80$ per month, a real rip off
in some 5-6 months am going to get a FiberOpticToHome deal with another provider, 10 Mbit down and 10 Mbit up flat rate plus IPTV and 2 phone numbers for 90$

 

Changin to DSL in october (when i move), will be a 16mb/s line (mayb just 10mb download and 6mb upload, not sure.)

 

Uhh 56kbps
Its better than nothing

 

Cable Bahamas:
Download - 4 Mbps
Upload - 1 Mbps

I pay $69.95 per month. Sometimes I get the advertised speed. Sometimes I don't. More often 'don't' these days. Too many new subscribers.

 

£17.99 for 2mbps. And soon i will be able to get it for free!!! You have to love the UK!

 

I have 8MB DL and 600k upload. It's just regular DSL. Just upgraded from 2MB. It's around $30 a month.

 

Does anyone know why the connection speed is so slow in the states?
I was kind of shocked when I came here because the cost for 6Mbps connection is like $40~45. When I was in Japan, 45Mbps ADSL was like $30 and 100Mbps connection was like $65. Is it because of the population and size of land?

 

I'm living w/my parents, and we just got the DSL from Enter.net about 6 months ago. However, it seems to be almost as slow at times as dial-up.....even more so, sometimes when the connection just keeps "timing out" on whatever page I go to.

PS--We REALLY need to upgrade. It's driving me crazy.

 

1.5 mb download - Qwest

 

Comcast supposed 6mb
my dl: 9124kbps
up: 352kbps

all done with speakeasy seattle server test.

 

i had 384/128 for about 2 years for $35 a month. Today i get a call from Charter and they offer us 3MB for only $19.99 a month. I upgraded right away. went from 44KB/sec download to 380KB/sec.

 

512K 110$ a month

 

10mbps. FREE! at least in our school.LOL

 

I go through Comcast Cable which offers internet connections of 6MB, which I have never been able to reach. Lately it has been running much slower, 1.5MB or so. One thing that is nice though is we pay for HSI and limited basic, but when the contractor came out to install the HSI it would not connect because he placed caps on our cable for limited basic. He then had to unfilter our connection so we have full cable at a $45 price. He said they can do nothing about it because we are paying for HSI, but can not connect with limited basic only. I know this has worked on a few seperate occassions if you are in apartment buildings. Old wiring and muliple connections help. Just a trick you might try doing if you live in an apartment building.

 

Camsimple: Sorry to hear about Comcast shafting you. I am a certified tech for several cable companies, Comcast being 1 of them. If your not experiencing intermittent service, doesnt sound like you are, then your download speed is code dependant. Your account is setup via coding on the head end. I would call customer service and have them verify your service coding. Depending on your area, your HSI may use a channel that is offered in the channel tier that also covers the expanded basic. Then at that rate, they cant trap out the expanded basic, but this will not affect the download rate. If you pay for 6MB you should receive that amount or close to it, depending on local server lag.
If you were experiencing internittent service issues, then yes, bad cable lines(rg-59) bad splitters, too many splitters, etc will be the cause.

I have 20Megabits a second, lol not mega bites ...

 

I just tested at 15.2 mb down and 1.8 up. I have a Verizon FiOS connection. $44 per month.

 

I have 5mbps/800kbps DSL from Bell.

 

DSL
Up : 2Mps.
Down : 10Mps.

WiFi : 54Mps.

 

wifi = 54Mps? I think thats your therotical speed, not your actual speed.

 

All speeds we specified are also theorical

Regarding the WiFi, my computer's access point manager shows that the speed is 54Mbps, of course it's the speed between my PC and the Wifi router.

 

Hopefully you get their permission (the neighbors). I read recently that a man was arrested for illegally using a Wi-Fi connection.

 

I think I've read that article too, that man used a private WiFi connection to download and share child pronography video.

Even if the neighbor don't know you, but the router still records your MAC address and your connections details into logs. It's why people look for software on Internet on order to change MAC address of their WiFi hardware.

 

Well my DSL was about 2mb down a around 400 up, but I was paying for 3mb down and don't remember what the up was. Then I quit it because I had a moral objection to AT&T and them thinking they owned my personal info (they really do, its in the privacy policy) so I went to Comcast. I now get 6 down and 348 up, and that is what I pay for. In the fall they promise to double the speed, we will see.

 

My ISP has the monopoly in my area. Since I am in a rural part of NY, I pay for 768down and 256up and i pay 44.95.... A rip-off in my opinion. If there was Comcast or Verizon in my area, I would have it.

 

that is a huge rip off imo. I'm waiting for the verizon fios to come to my area, I'm in nyc but since I live in a building, its a lot harder since they have to pre wire EVERYONE in the building first, and then come and wire whoever wants the service, but it is faaaast. the fastest package they offer is 30 down 5 up
I plan to get the middle which is 15 down and 2 up for only 45/mo.

 

Thanxs for the website Huskyfan23,just tested 5793kbps or 724KB/sec

 

10mbps RCN CABLE QUEENS,NY. $25 month + tax & fees = $31

10mbps is nice when transfering files with a group of friends VIA MSN, Yahoo, and other messengers. Also fast on torrent files(sometimes).

But for the most part websites, P2P, and download sites limit their bandwith so who really needs 10mbps? RCN gave me a sweet deal so I took it.

Before that I was taping in my neighbors unsecure. I got about 1.5mbps.
