Right Now:

Man I wish I could double my speed. The only other option I have is a business line. Not worth it IMO.

 

[aphex]

Using http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

1.9 megabits per second on the first try,
2.1 megabits per second on the second.

I'll post back in 30 and see the change...

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Only 1.2 megabits? That server is suck.

Hmm... I personally wouldn't have done it for an extra $20/mo. You have to be up in the $60's/mo. aren't you ?

Wait, by how much does this increase your speed in kazaa... thats all that matters.

 

[Quixfire]

My free T1 is 7.9 megabits per second.

Speed depends on the person you are connecting to in Kazaa.

Well its combined with my digital cable package, DVR box, 3 regular digital boxes, and roughly 400 channels including 8 HBO & 7 Cinemax...

My new bill is $152 a month with tax.

$152 a month for cable services? Jeebus, I can never understand you people who pay for TV.

I used to pay $80 for a 3.0/384 cable line, I loved it.

Jaw hits the floor. Man I thought we were paying a lot for cable. If you've got the money, more power to you.

pricey

 

[iamwiz82]

my PVR, Premium sat, and cable costs me $72/month.

 

[metroplex]

I get about 5-6 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream with my cable provider.

T1 at 7 Mbps? Bull!! T1 is 1.544 Mbps or around 24 phone lines uncompressed.

Since we're comparing cable pricing:

CDN$55 for basic + two upper tiers (no digital) + 8.0/1.0 down/up cable line :Q

You are either lying, or you do not have a T1.

(T1 = 1.5 Mbps, btw)

Heh ... funny, last I checked the CDN$ was at a 5.5 year high against the US$.

But seriously, I just pulled the latest Detonators at 600KB/s, and my FTP has no problems dishing out the upstream.
