Would be great to share information with other countries, to compare speed and price. I believe that my current connection offers a great balance between price and speed, and I'm loving it :)

I live with my parents at the moment and my mom won't switch, as much as I have talked to her about it.

Oh, I know that problem.

"Yeah, but it already works right now! I'm not going to pay more just so that you can download faster.. and switching is such a hassle anyway."

I pay £7.50 a month.

Recently our town got FTTC upgrades but im going to wait a while until the price is better and my isp jumps on the bandwagon(currently only on B.T) cant really justify paying 17.99 when im paying 7.50 for a stable connection and decent enough speeds.

And your in London? No cabled area's around? O2 I'm sure will help you out if your a customer and even if your not you can still get it but at a few quid more obviously.

I cant understand why some people here have really good download speeds but theyre uploads are less that 1mbps.. Whats up with that?:)

Until i fully migrate her to gmail i can't move to cable just yet..bit of a pain though. But I am already placing forwading for her..

Here in Barcelona we used to have very bad deals compared to the rest of Europe, but after reading your posts guys I am starting to feel like what we've got here is really good. 51Mbps down 3mbps up for 25 euros a month is way better than ANYTHING I saw in this thread. :KS

I don't get why people have to have speed on high. ;)

I just want to play Free to Play MMORPGs, which requires low ping, not high speed.

Low ping is nice, (I wish my connection had a low ping, but it's been flaky recently, so it's several hundred ms), but low ping doesn't let you watch Youtube videos very well, or download via BitTorrent. ;)

I can't take a snapshot right now, but it's 5Mbps vs 640Kbps.

5 MBps here is like, 50 USD/mo, for Internet only.

1 MBps here is 19.99 USD/mo.

That's an ISP's idea of Asynchronous. I guess it's supposed to discourage file sharing by choking upload?

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

http://www.speedtest.net/result/982556755.png

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 :p

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

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.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1033983824.png
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

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?

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

Even the "Ultimate Package" (http://ww2.cox.com/residential/northernvirginia/internet/ultimate-internet.cox) 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
