How fast are you surfing

[lao_V]

I hope this one hasn't been done before.

I would like to know what's the internet connection speed everyone here has got. I've currently got 1Meg and will soon have 10Meg on cable. There's gonna be a 24Meg ADSL connection shortly in the UK. How does this compare with your country?

[hard_i]

Currently using 2Mbit/640Kb, good enough for me i guess.

I want to move to Japan where "Internet connections will hit 10Gbit by 2010 in Japan"

I'm on something like a 3Mbit down / [some crappy number] up :)

[MinoltaLuvR]

i think this is supposed to be a 256/512 conn, but it feels more like 64/128.
Sprint DSL.. sucks... but better than basic dial up... only real problem is when the other 3pc's are online at the same time.


cheers
john.

down: 8mbit (1.1mb/sec) / up: 1mbit (120kb/sec)

[drummer]

10Mbit down on Optus Cable, but a measly 128kbit up :(

[Kvark]

I got 10Mbit both ways. It's a normal network connection so I could get 100Mbit both ways by paying some extra.

Which country and how much, Kvark? If you don't mind telling.

[Kvark]

Which country and how much, Kvark? If you don't mind telling.
Country: Sweden.

How much: I pay 32 € per month for 10Mbit. The cheapest alternative is 128kbit down / 64kbit up for 10 € per month. The most expensive is 100Mbit for 60 € per month.

[GoA]

10/10 for 33 euros per month. And no limit in bandwith. :D And yes, this is a home connection. :) in Finland and only for students living in certain place.

Wow, I want to move out of this country! Here, the 10Meg will cost £35!!!

[A-star]

I'm Paying 60€ for a 10Mbit down/ 768 Kbps up with a limit of 60 gigabyte traffic a month.

This is one of the better price / what you get connection in belgium.

[krusbjorn]

Got 10/10, paying 10€ every half year ;P

I have a "variable plan" from sprint

Meaning, my download can go between 2.5 meg and 6 meg but that is not guaranteed. Atleast 2.5 at all times is.

Upload can go from 1 meg to 3 megs but only 1 meg is guaranteed.

I can really notice some differences at different times of the day, mainly during the morning and late and night I really fly.

I had a different plan at first that was 2mb/512kb up and that was more expensive than this, so I switched. Really enjoyed my cable before switching to DSL but Adelphia in my area started to block ports, meaning, I couldn't download any torrents faster than like 5kb/s couldnt connect to many servers.. it was just a real hassle

[somuchfortheafter]

3mbit down...

[papangul]

256/56 kbps adsl with 1 gb/pm download cap @ about $12 pm.

[Lovechild]

2048/512 I think, I might be moving to Charlotte, NC so I guess I'll have to look into good american ISPs in that area as well.

Just having a look at their website (http://www.rr.com/rdrun/) and the fastest speed they have is 8MB so are you sure your 54 Mb is internet and not just LAN???

[TrailerTrash]

I have Alltel DSL here in North Carolina....Its a 3meg...Its very speedy...Im not sure what the upload is. it cost me $25 a month

No it's 54Mbps that it can run with, but it's pulling 15mb, my apologies !

It's LAN. "Just going by what my ISP guys is saying to me by messenger"

Sorry I don't understand still. If the maximum speed by your ISP is 8meg then how can you be "pulling" 15meg?

[KingBahamut]

From home.

Supposed to be 2.5/2.5 , but my Up fluxes way over 3.0 normally.

Upload faster then download. Amazing!

[Lord Illidan]

From home, a measly 1024/512.

From work, a major ISP in Malta.... grin... 100 mbits/100 mbits... I remember downloading Ubuntu in less time than it took me to burn it..

[angkor]

Right now 1600/512, but yesterday I've read my provider will double the downstream for the same price...Can't wait :) In a month or so it'll be 3200/512.

[super]

sorry i hit the wrong button. mine is actually 2mb not 10, (i wish it were)

[xequence]

350 or so Kbps, which is like 50 KBps. Upload is like... 12 KBPS.

Doesent make getting a high bittorent share ratio very easy :(

[pmj]

10mbit both up and down.

[poofyhairguy]

4mb, wish the cutoff wasn't at five. :)
