What Internet connection speeds you guys have?

[MobiusPizza]

I know most of you people are from America. Internet should be fast and cheap. I used to be from Hong Kong, where 1Gbit interrnet just arrived.

Sadly currently I am studying in UK... Which is still pretty primitive in Internet Connection. It's only 2 years ago 512kbit Internet begins to appear. Now it's 512k-2MB. The techonology sucks though, as if I am 2 Kilometre away from the exchange, which I am; I can't get a better connection than 512k. I am stuck at 512k even 1MB is a lot cheaper now. I miss Hong Kong...

This might be Off-topic. I am sorry if it is.

 

[tfinch2]

you skipped 2-5MB...probably what mostly everyone has here.

 

[MobiusPizza]

Sorry, edited. I know that ADSL, VDSL doesn't operate at that speed. What sort of technology is that? oO

 

[imported_Ares]

256kbps over here in Bahrain, and it costs a hell of a lot, about $100 per month 🙁

 

[imported_Kensai]

HK internet is god. 😛

 

[MrMaster]

you talking about upload or download?

most users have great downloads but crappy upload in the US.

 

[BurnItDwn]

4mbit down, 500kbit up .... Cable Modem (often get 600kbit up)

 

[BW86]

5mbit down, 900kbit up 😀

You forgot 11-99 mb. Off the top of my head I know some FIOS services fall in there, at around 15mb. Anyway I have 10mbit down / 1mbit up cable.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

I have Comcast at home. 4mbps down/384 kbps up.

At college here... I just remember them posting an ad about their 60 gigabit network. LoL. I looked up some data and there's a whole bunch of OC-48 and OC-192 lines going in and out of our school.

Iono, judge by the graphs...http://fragment1.berkeley.edu/~cricket/ I remember downloading America's Army at 3 MB/sec.

 

[biostud]

2048/512 soon to be 4096/512

 

[Promethply]

Currently @ 1Mb, waiting for ISP to put DSLAM in my area so that I'll be connected @ 8Mb.

Always above 4 though.

[thegimp03]

4mb/384k comcast cable.

Well, I used to be happier at home with my DSL (was 768/128, but recently upgraded to 1.5/384) since work was Satellite. We recently upgraded to cable at work though, and the speeds are just awesome:

Verizon plans on going as high as 30mb down, 15mb up. I don't know what they have going so far though, still testing it.

I have comcast, which is running at 4mb right now, but upload is terrible on cable.

 

[Makaveli]

Yep in canada I have 5mbps down 800kbps up Cable! $45 a month!

 

[yezhou]

Currently, RCN Mach10 - 10Mbps down, 800 Kbps up. Although I think I'm going to downgrade to Mach7 - 7Mbps down, 800 Kbps up, to save $10/month ($38/month).

 

[FeuerFrei]

SBC DSL @ 3Mb down + 500kb up
