I love my DSL. Cable users can love their download speeds all they want but my line has a steady, steady up and down stream that not all cable companies can provide :) Granted, services vary from area to area, but DSL owns everything in my town.

I did 1.5 megabytes (that's BYTES) a second sustained through my college connection once when I was running an FTP...

I've hit 350k/s for about 10 seconds off of NBCi's Sharehouse on my 768k DSL. Don't know how accurate that reading was though. Most of the time im ~85.

Ive never had any problems with my cable modem fluctuating speeds. Im in an area with lots of cable modems also. Plus the fact that I pay only 30 bucks for both the internet access and the modem, makes it that much better for me than going out paying 100 bucks plus for a 1.5meg dsl.

usually around 200-350kb/s, except for the fast sites, like berkeley.edu or stanford.edu, which are not only fat ass fiber lines but so close, i manage 1MB/s from 'em (well cheating with Download Accelerator :) )

my dsl does 100-150kbs normally, but the fastest download I've had is a 4mb mp3 in 1 second, is that possible? It happened twice.

I'm on your basic 56k here at home. It sucks.

At school I could get a max of about 300k/sec over internet. And the best I ever saw across the network was about 8.5 megs/sec. I'm told it could get up to about 11 meg/sec, but I never saw quite that fast.

<< Real impressive,the school i go to T-1 averages around 150k but thats thru 2 firewalls. >>

What?? Two firewalls?? Hmm... strange. One software and one hardware? Interesting -I've never heard of that.

Anyway, yeah, I get all of <1k/sec all the way up to 4k/sec on my dialup. :D

I have a screenshot around here somewhere of the MSN download speed tester thing from when I was working at Intel. I had surfing speed of 8000KB (bytes) and a download of 1000KB on the download. --don't ask me, I just worked there (and started downloading music because of it... ;) :p )
