New Cable Internet in Catalonia 51mbps

[Kosimo]

Here's one I did in a computer lab at university:



At home I get around 5mbps down, and 0.5 up, though I know FTTC should be in my area some time early next year, so that should improve things.

Still...I prefer the university speeds

Amazing!

This is definitely the way to go. In some years we'll have this @ home. But as I've said before for now, what I've got at home is more than enough for me

What I quoted earlier is $40/month, bundled.

Not when we only have Verizon, AT&T and Charter in our area, who provides Cable Internet, I will not accept DSL.

this taken from my desktop, when using wifi i get only about 25-30mbs download depending on distance from router.

virgin media cable.

£45 per month for broadband, unlimited calls and line rental.

It works out a bit cheaper then i was paying for AOL's "up to 7mb" but more like 2mbs and BTs Landline+line rental separately

Apparently they are going to upgrade the upload speed to 5mbs soon.

cant wait till the roll out the 100mbs service, hoping it wont be too expensive

$57.99/Month but work pays for it for the amount of remote work I do, so technically for me it's gratis!

Mine's pathetic, and considering how often I'm doing stuff remotely, I don't know how I can manage with it. O_o



Oh, right 40 bucks a month.

US Internet access is so far behind the times. With limited exceptions, the current trend is towards DOCSIS 3 cable rollouts on the best of ISPs - where is the fiber?

If they can waste a trillion bucks in pork spending, we should at least have an urban/suburban FTTH rollout to show for it.

Thats truelly shocking, not to put you down. But thats like £26 here in N.Ireland. Extortion springs to mind, how come such a bad upload speed?

[CharlesA]

It's a cable connection, it's got a really bad upload speed.

Even the "Ultimate Package" which is supposedly 50Mbps down and 5.5Mbps up, is a total rip off price-wise at $110/month.

EDIT: Looks like the "Essential" plan listed there isn't the same one I've got in my area since I get half the speed for the same price. Epic fail. Ultimate isn't even available over here. O_o

I was more shocked at the ping.

My ping is roughly the same, its perfect for my gaming needs
