Would everone post all the available internet connection technology and speed available in your city. I live in HONG KONG, here it is:

1.5M, 3M, 6M ADSL (sole)
10M cable modem (shared)
10M LMDS radio transmited (shared)
10M, fiber optic Gigabit backbone (sole)-- This ISP use fiber optic connect to the switch hub of the bottom of all buildings, then use cat-5 to connect the switch hub from the base of the building to each flat. <-----best ($21/month)

I heard Japan will launch 100M internet speed, hope someone will give me some detail about it.
 


<< Here in the Twin Cities I believe all we have is: 384k, 768k, 1.5m DSL >>


If your line qualifies, Qwest has service up to 7Mbps in the Twin Cities.

Which ISP is it? HutchCity or HKnet?

thats all they charge I spend 34.50 for a cable modem that hits 5 Mbps max down and about 128Kbps up!
 
56k here in the middle of nowhere. There are a couple businesses downtown which share a fractional T1 off the independent ISP in one of our few large office buildings. All other ISP's here are resellers of ntelos dialup and etc. I suppose you could get ISDN set up but its going to cost a lot since there are basically no compatible phone lines here.

This is the way it still is for most of the US, once you travel even one hour outside a major city. 2002 is going to be a big year of change though. My town is finally getting Time-Warner's "Road Runner" cable in May, after three successive years of Time-Warner telling us it would be "this year."

Curiously, Verizon will also be offering ADSL here for the first time in guess what ... May. Like Time-Warner, they too have been delaying and making excuses for three years or so. Now suddenly, they're able to do it. Think it might have something to do with Road Runner coming out and a little thing called "market share?" Bastards, all of them.
 
512 K adsl, satellite (DirecPC), dialup and T1..
I live out in the middle of the dessert. (Eastern Ore.)
I have adsl.
 
This is the only connection's I can get here. Since I live in a very small town which has only like 1000 people. The local cable TV provider said high-speed cable is coming to my area. But they don't know when it will be here. 🙁 I'm so sick of dialup connection'sso bad.

56k Connection
ISDN 64k and 128k
Satellite (DirecPC)
Wireless (Comwaves)


 
Here it is DSL with a max of 1.5 down 384 up (might be able to get more up .. not sure)
Comcast Cable capped at 1500/128 but I only see 1200.


a friend once had DSL, and he could log into his modem settings but could not change them... he was supposed to be capped at 640, but was capped at 600. I suspect Comcast is doing something similar because I know the line can handle more since it was before the switch from @home.
 


<< I'm getting 2.5M with Cox cable in Phoenix. >>



i am moving to phoenix... 1 year from now..thats what i shall be Eyein up.. 😛

how much?
 
Doesn't anyone here live near one of those "cable to the curb" cities where they were going to test 40M or 100M lines?

Getting tired of being capped on Charlotte cable at around 2M down.
 
Reykjavik / Iceland


DSL.lite
256kbps to 1.5mbps

ADSL
256kbps to 6mbps

Cable
10mbps

Electric powerlines
256kbps to 4.5mbps (you get one package and the speed depends on your neighberhood usage and your line quality, most are getting around 1mbps, not many can get it, but I can 🙂)

Then you can get hdsl and full fiber optics, like up to 1gbps, if you have the money to spare that is 😛

Dailup for ISDN and normal modems can be gotten for free from at least 3 ISP's

Few people here, like my friend, but he blew it the bastard, could get a 100mbps connection for almost free.
 
I'm suprised none of you have access to T1 lines in the cities. I live in a small community, and you can rent T1 lines for somewhere around a grand a month or so.
 
In Montreal there's a monopoly given by the government to the cable companies. Being the only one, Videotron (my cable company) caps us at 800k/sec in download and a whooping 15k/sec in upload (because they say that they don't encourage piracy so they don't want people to have a FTP server). They are also limiting us to 5 gigs/month of download and 1 gig/month of upload. Damn bastards, and they are charging $25 US for their service that is down for around 1-2 hours by month.

Consider yourselves lucky !
