How fast is your internet?

[siimo]

What are your *downstream* speeds like?

[Mathiasdm]

Up to 20 Mbps, which is useless, since I can only download about 12 GB per month :mad:

[siimo]

Those are impressive speeds man... i only get upto 8Mbps on my link but i don't have any data limits.

[Spr0k3t]

With cable I'm averaging 128kbps during peak times. In the off times I'm around 600kbps. DSL was rock solid at 768kbps no matter what time it was. Uploads on DSL were slower overall (18kbps), but cable ranges from 48.8bps (note: no K in there) to 42kbps depending on the activity. There are times I can pull out my old v.92 modem and connect with faster upload speeds than what my cable provider brags about. Personally, I'd go with DSL any day of the week but your mileage may vary.

[ditsch]

I am on a wireless pre-wimax solution which provides me with max. 2mbps. Nevertheless, with a limit of 5gigs per month :(

[Kateikyoushi]

56Mbps, which can almost max out when I connect to the university. Last year had 100Mbit fiber but moved house and I could not care less wheter it is 56 or 100 because I am on wireless so max 2MB for me.

[rbalfour]

Lease-line to the house. Is the ONLY way to go!
One of the only good things about Japanese Internet Service Providers, they will run LL to anyone who will pay!

[EdThaSlayer]

I have a nice wireless 256 kbps internet connection. My internet is pretty fast for Kenya. :)

[X86]

It's smoking with Ubuntu wireless over 200 kbps...

:guitar:

[OrangeCrate]

Download Speed: 10006 kbps (1250.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 946 kbps (118.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

[sharks]

What is your internet speed and is it enough for u?

I have 2MBPS connection and would like have 8MBPS. i use BSNL.

EDIT: Please post which ISP u r using.

[tamoneya]

14Mbs down
1 Mbs up
Use this to test your speed

Can we get a poll?
http://www.dslreports.com/im/51492487/6182.png

[sharks]

What kind of poll and what is the question and options?

[tamoneya]

just put like 5 different ranges of speeds.

[sharks]

Is this ok?

[tamoneya]

looks fine to me.

[SupaSonic]

Should've put ranges. I have 4 Mbps up and down.

[kaboodle_fish]

I get about 6.8Mbs down which isn't bad for £10 a month

(£10 = US$19.80)

[BlueSkyNIS]

I have 512k download and 64k upload for 15 euros a month :(

[NovaAesa]

1.5 meg up and 512k down. I find this acceptable, except for the fact we get shaped to 128k if we go over our 14GB cap :( Plus there are 5 internet hungry uni students living here.

I have no idea how much it costs, because it's included in my rent (I'm in a share house).

[samjh]

1.5M down and 256K up, priced at AU$69.95 per month, with download limit of 10GB peak-time and 15GB off-peak.

Not bad. It's fast enough for me when downloading, but upload speed is a little sluggish, especially when sending emails with large attachments.

[scourge]

1.5M down and 256K up, priced at AU$69.95 per month, with download limit of 10GB peak-time and 15GB off-peak.

Damn, that's expensive! Here you could get 24M/1M for almost the same price.

I'm using a 100M/100M connection provided by the uni. It's plenty fast, but most ports are blocked, so I can't use P2P, and some online games don't work.

You can't get much cheaper than that in Australia. The land is so big, population so few, and wiring and infrastructure cost a lot of money. :(

[schtufbox]

I'm on an 'up to 24mb' connection. It's reliant on how close to the telephone exchange you are. As I am not that near, I only get 12m but hey, that'll do me for now...until I can get 100M!!!

My ISP is BE Unlimited

[guildofghostwriters]

I have 8mb connection and usually the actual speed is pretty close to that. Most of the time it's more than enough.

[markp1989]

i have 1mbps up, and 512kbps down unlimited , would love to have it faster, but my phone line wont support it, We had 2mbps for a while, and the connection kept dropping.

Im with AOL uk

[EdThaSlayer]

My school has 2 mbits down and around 512 kb up. :)
Then again, divide that among 50 people and the speed I get is more like 512 down and 128 up. :(

[theraje]

I have a 28.8k connection when I'm lucky (yes, that's kilobits). Unfortunately, in my neck of the woods, broadband just doesn't exist yet, so I'm stuck connecting to the Internet with an old-fashioned phone line. :(

[DMcA]

I just clocked 64Mb/s down and 41Mb/s up with a latency of 7ms. I'd say that's fast enough =)

[sisco311]

I have 10Mbps download and 1Mbps upload speed for 20Euro a month. It's fast enough for me.

[intense.ego]

It's fast enough, but could be cheaper.....

[nick09]

I have near 10MB download and 1MB upload.:lolflag:

[smartboyathome]

I dunno the average upload/download, but this seems like it is good:

But for some reason I think comcast is blocking Tremulous. :(

[uraldinho]

2MB ADSL and is enough for everything I do.

I could upgrade for a cheaper 8MB, but I don't want to be tied to a new 12 month contract.

Dude! that is 28MB download and 3MB upload!

[smartboyathome]

This is coming off of a night of no internet usage, though. It slows down after a couple downloads.

[Fedz]

10 meg cable broadband :-)

VirginMedia (UK).

Has been problem free for many-a-years ;-)

[Lostincyberspace]

At one point I could consistently get a download about 5 MB/s (yes mega bytes not bits) and 7 MB/s upload.

I still get really great speed but it has dropped of a bit though.

Comically, you can burn trough the day's traffic allocation in some ~5 mins of torrenting, and if you start using the connection just after the timeperiod starts, you can get some ~30 gigs before the connection is shaped to the slow lane.

[Eisenwinter]

3MBps down, 700KBps up.

[bobbocanfly]

4meg down, 1/3 of a meg upload

Could always do with a bit of a download speed boost but i find my upload speed to be stupidly slow.

[NJC]

4.5KB/s and it's rubbish. But Telus and Shaw have a stranglehold on the BC market and I refuse to pay $40/month for a 1.5mbp/s connection. Primus is moving into the area and will get their bundle as soon as it's available.

[Happy_Man]

Verizon FiOS

15 mbps down
2 mbps up

[wootah]

5 mbps down / 0.5 mbps up.

I can get get 8mbps down/1 mbps up for an extra $10, cept I'm a student :(

NJC: Shaw provides the package I have listed above. Is it not in your area ?

[WiFi Ed]

I've got a 10/1 cable connection (Roadrunner). About $50.00, pretty stable and reliable, fast enough for my needs...

Wow, that's even faster than me. We only get 1Gb/24 hours and a nasty fine if we go over it. Torrenting's a big no-no too. Still, can't complain, free super-fast internet is always nice

[NJC]

NJC: Shaw provides the package I have listed above. Is it not in your area ?
I haven't priced the 5mb/s package from Shaw but even the 256kb/s is $30!! (no bundling price). The Primus bundle I'm waiting for is as follows:

- basic home phone
- 1mb/s DSL

For $40. Since I already pay $30 for Telus home phone only, $40 for this bundle seems like a good deal. As mentioned, Telus and Shaw seem to have the market cornered hence the high prices.

I'm usually a tad bit quicker (10,000kbps~12,000kbps) but my bro is playing WoW so it slows the net down I think.

I quite like it, but the upload speed could be faster.

I have a 6mbps connection but actually I'm getting slightly over that. :D

Would be nice to have it go faster, but I'm fine with this.

[billgoldberg]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/279189815.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

It's a bit slower than normal because my brother is playing COD 4 online on the ps3. Normally I can use the full 4.6 mbps I have.

I'm pretty content about the download speed, but the higher the better.

I'm not at all happy about the upload speed. Uploading 100mb takes forever.

The biggest complaint I have is I have a 35gb download limit. And for that piece of **** I pay +- €60/month ($93.3/£47.4).

At least you're making good use of your connection!

[Mr.Auer]

My connection is 5 mbps down, that is slightly understated, its is actually always stable at 600 kilobytes per second, and 120 kilobytes upstream. Cable. I have 2-3 computers hooked on it via a switch. Its latency is good, and I got a reliable company. Costs 35 euros month.

Soon Ill be getting an Asus Eee pc with 3G wireless broadband, 384 kbps up and down. That costs 9.90 euros per month for the connection.

[Skorzen]

My connection is 12 Mbps and I think it's just enough, at least for now.

[5m0k3]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/284403373.png

EDIT: Interestingly, my download speed has increased to about 2700 kb/s since yesterday. I decided to run another test after observing significantly faster download times (about a 250-300% increase from the norm). Upload speeds have remained the same, but I'm not complaining. I wonder how long this will last?

[jmagsho]

20 MB down and 5 MB up, and no, it still isn't fast enough! :-) I don't think I'll be satisfied until I can get Verizon to give me 20 down and 20 up...

[TwiceOver]

5/5mb, static IP, free.

Helps when you work for the ISP. 5mb is plenty for my needs.

[ryaxnb]

http://www.dslreports.com/im/54393317/68455.png
This is at my dads. At mine it's usually ~1200-1300 down and ~250-384 up. Officially, I'm on a 1.5/384 plan at both houses. What I love about my ISP is their stance on alt. OSes and P2P downloads; they don't approve of blocking P2P or forwarding info to the MPAA, they have great tech support, and many of their own tech guys run Linux or OS X, plus they support Macs, and have nothing against Linux (just find it hard to support, but they'll probably help you out with net related issues anyway, so long as you know what you're doing with your distro). Their ATM connections are reliable and long-lasting. Their name is Cruzio, and they serve Santa Cruz with dial-in, 1.5mbps, 3mbps, and 6mbps DSL, plus ISDN. Edit:my dad's uses ATT, so no Cruzio for him.

My internet speed from Comcast's "Internet Blast" plan is more than enough. 16Mbps.

[Blahblah54]

10mbps down and 2mbps up. I'm certainly not complaining, but I don't think a connection could ever really be "fast enough."

[Canis familiaris]

Yes it can. When the speed of the net is >= Hard disk speed. :)

[VitaLiNux]

I got a moderate 288/288kbps bandwith here. Only issues, watching online videos is a mess and, sometimes, when I'm playing online games (if I connect to non-USA/canada-or-out-of-my-country servers) I get some lag and that's a pain in the back (you know what I'm talking about if you're fond of online-FPS games).

[billgoldberg]

Up to 20 Mbps, which is useless, since I can only download about 12 GB per month :mad:

I see we have some other Belgian users here :p

60gb download limit here :(

--

Theoretically I should get 12Mbps but in reality it's a bit less (adsl):

http://www.speedtest.net/result/305813100.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Even though I have had speeds up to 7000Kbps sometimes (over Ethernet).

[AndyCooll]

Officially 10mbps. However rarely get that, 8mbps is more accurate.

:cool:

One of our connections is officially 20Mb and the other 1Mb.

3Mbps Download / 128kbps Upload
I'm using ADSL from 4 years ago, it's download speed is just ok, but upload speed is too crappy. So I'll change my internet company to others, today.

[insane_alien]

while my house has a 2MBit connection, as a little project i made a radio modem. using that i can get around 20 baud. and it does actually work for getting on the internet. but its painfully slow. normal websites take days on it.

[jnw222]

slow times= 10kBps
average= 100kBps

Average down is right around 15-16mbps I have gotten up to 30 though. Max Up is almost 70mbps no unreasonable caps (653 GB down (for a month with 31 days) and a little over 3Tb (for a month with 31 days) or maxed out 24/7 bandwidth)

I live in Orem, Utah and it is in the top 10 upload speeds (by citiy) in the USA with two of its bordering neighbors included there too.

100 mbps was the closest to mine... it actually seems to top out at about 60mbps... but I have a 5000mb download limit per 30 days, and besides that I have horrible latency... however, the alternative may have a lower latency, but it's so much slower. I'm a gamer so I'd opt out of this for that (especially because it's cheaper), but my father is the one running the show.
