Home: ADSL 820Kbps/? suppose to be up to 1Mbps but I've never gotten that.
Work: OC192 ;) I have no idea but since I work for Nortel Networks I assume we have one big pipeline coming into the complex.

ADSL: 1.5Mb/384Kb

But, I've routinely been dl'ing at around 250K/s. Must be caching stuff somewhere. I'm not complainin'
