What is your Internet Connection?
 

Nobody's made this yet it seems =0

I am on an ADSL 1Mbit connection.

120kb/s download, 33kb/s upload theoretically, though the download speed nowadays on it usually is closer to 100, and the upload more liek 30.

I guess that's pretty slow nowadays, but in august ADSL2+ is coming to our area, which means a maximum of 24Mbit / 1.3Mbit :edgartpg:

I'm on a 5Mb down, 384Kb up connection. Time Warner Cable, my ISP, keeps saying that, "[we'll] roll out 15Mb down, 2Mb up services in the near future," but they've been doing that for about five years now. Freakin' weasels.

I have ADSL 1Mbit connection.

Download speed is 112 Kbps and upload 30 Kbps

Those other numbers have to be kilobytes per second, especially if you have a 1 megabit connection.

I have Charter cable. 3 meg down, 256k up. It sucks and makes me sad, the upload especially.

I cannot wait until 30 meg down and 5+ up become commonplace. Once high def television becomes the standard.

i have 8mbit/1mbit DSL connection here in france for 30€/month, no down/up limits

i dl up to 730kb/s and upload a 104kb/s

At home, I have 1.5 mbit downstream/896 kbit upstream Qwest DSL. It's not a bad deal even if the maximum bandwidth is a bit low, because there aren't any transfer caps or restrictions on the service and it's ultra-reliable. Cable internet is cheaper here, but Mediacom is a horrible company with no customer support and lousy reliability...I'll stick with DSL, thank you very much. The best thing is that Qwest is supposedly rolling out VDSL and HDTV services before too long. ^^

Right now, I'm stuck using the University of Iowa's dorm line. It's a T3, and I've managed to download files at over one megabyte per second, but it's split up among a couple thousand people in my specific dorm building, so it can be a bit slow at times. The worst part is that the university monitors traffic INCREDIBLY tightly. They don't actually block Torrents or P2P services, but heaven help you should you actually use them.

I don't know the official specs, but we pay €45,-/month, cable, and I can download with a max of 1 mb/s (though 500 kb/s is more common) and upload with a max of 110 kb/s. No restrictions whatsoever.

I have a 2.5mb ADSL connection, with a limit of 10 gb a month. It's depressing since the upload is a maximum of 16kbps, and the upload also counts towards the 10 gb per month.

It's trash.

My ISP has a 2GB a month limit on the package I use. I don't exactly follow it. The bulk of this is internet traffic, there's hardly any LAN activity on the LAN I'm on.

There hasn't been a word from them yet (been connected for over a year)

10 Megabit Download and 1 Megabit Upload, Downloading at 1 Megabyte+ a second is great

If it gets any faster im gonna have to upgrade my router as it only as a 10Mbsp WAN port on it :(

I have 1.5 Mbit/~70Kbyte connection. I know it's peanuts compared to you're 234897 Gigabytes a second, but it's better than what I used to have.. dialup.

All the inconsitancies of measurement in this thread are driving me insane. Don't forget that MB/s is different than Mb/s.

I have Comcast, the 6000kbps downstream is very nice, but I'd like something faster than 384kbps upstream (about 48KBps), not nearly enough to run a FTP server.

I've got an ADSL 1984 Kilobits down / 512 Kilobits up connection. It was suppose to be 2.5Mbits down / 1Mbit up but thanks to distance issues the signal was too unstable and SBC had to drop my connection down to what is now.

It kind of sucks because I cant get cable either. The signal is too weak in my house and there's too many appliances on one line. If I had it my way we would have 1 or 2 televisions. But the people in this house must have thier own in every damn room.

But it's better than nothing.

Can't your cable company run another coax line to your house to increase the signal? This is what had to be done for where I'm living now. (Or, is the signal degraded too much "at the curb"?)

512kps Cable. I manage to download at 60kb/s at full and my weak upload is 10kb/s

I'm not complaining :P

We're getting ready to get the fastest in our area! 512/256bit (64/32byte) for $50 a month!

6Mbps/1Mbps Comcast. Yes I know the numbers are higher than they should be, but I'm not about to go telling them that haha

...and I thought that my service was a rip-off for $45 a month.
This is DSL, I imagine?

Honestly, most ISPs suck immensely by way of crappy service.

I'm getting some form of ADSL or another. My ISP used to suck a few years ago, but since then they've actually removed all monthly download caps and improved quite a bit in general, so no complaint.

As for the speed, I usually can get 300KB/s down, and a 65KB/s up. Frankly, I could probably bring the upload higher, I cap it myself when using P2P. Bittorrent, especially, has a tendency to try to upload way too much when uncapped and literally chokes the connection to death by preventing TCP ACK packets from going through. Or at least it used to, I haven't tried running it without cap for quite some time.

Actually, it is not really wired DSL but just wireless broadband. I (and other business peoples) convinced them they need to offer services here. We tried to petition SBC for wired DSL, but they didn't come through even though we had 107 sigs and our town population is 628!

sprint DSL 5 mbps
can get up to 700 kb/s sometimes

i limit my upload to 50 kb/s but it gets up to about 70 kb/s

Covad 3Mbit down / 384 up

The speed is nice, but the best part is that we've had no down time since we've had it, which has been about a year.

That's what I have at home. And at my apartment I share the university connection. Upload speeds are nice (~100+kB/s) when shit's not getting packet-shaped but it's usually shit. Download speeds are pretty shitty. It all sucks. Ever.

14.4 baby!

2MB up/down SBC Yahoo or something real close...

Real men use 300bps.

Comcast basicly said there was nothing they could do to get me cable. I'm not that educated in networking so I can only trust what they say. I do know my nieghbors cant get cable internet either. They're all using either SBC DSL or Dial up.

In which case there are a few possibilities:
First, the signal could be just strong enough to handle cable television in the area, but not the 'strain' of internet services.
Second, they might not actually own the lines themselves, which means that doing anything to them could be difficult.
Third, they're lying to you and/or unbelievably lazy.

Third; In most cases that I've had are correct. The only way I was able to have cable internet is by moving into a house with two cable lines. You can forget it if more than 1 TV is on ONE cable line, and using splitters only makes it worse. AND comcast ran that same game on me about 'nothing they could do'.

Btw 10MBs/380 something kb upstream.

I have AT&T/SBC Yahoo DSL
DL: 1.5 to 3.0 Mbps
UL: 384 to 512 Kbps

Does anyone know if they cap how much you DL/UL for each month? If so, what's the limit?

EDIT:
I guess there isn't a cap.. kewl

at home, 2.7mbps down / 256kbps up (those speeds are very close to the actuals)

at school - 20 T1 lines. yeah. i don't know how fast it goes up to, but i've gotten downloads during holidays here at 1.45MB/s (that's bytes!) and uploads aren't much slower....

Sould be: 5000/800

Last test I've run, I've got: 4137/654

Right now I'm on Comcast 8mbps/768kbps and I must say it's damn good, especially expoliting the free Usenet with that bandwidth. :D

I've got about 3Mbps down / 768 Kbps on Verizon DSL.

Recently "downgraded" to that (we pay half as much for twice the speed from our previous package.)

Just wish they'd roll out the fiber-optic so we can get FIOS here, but I'm not complaining.

DATS WAT.

Acutally its like 5mb/somethingsomething but in real numbers around 1mb download at 110k upload.

ADSL: 1MBit down / 512KBit up
37€ / month

I have been using Roadrunner (from TWC) for roughly two years ago and have been most satisfied. I get about 5Mbps Down and 385Kbps up, which is more than enough to download even the lagrgets files (DVD ISO's, HDTV rips of whole seasons of TV shows, etc.) The upload cap is a pain, but is really just about right for my small web server.

The best part is, the connection has gone down about 4 times since i've gotten it, and always after midnight.

Using Optimum Online here, and I get speeds up to 1500+ KB/sec down and perhaps 50-100 KB/sec up. Which is great for me, since I download lots of anime. Its always nice when I can find a good source and download some series faster than I can watch them. I don't care much for the upload speed, as besides bit torrent, I don't do much uploading.

10/10mbit ... it's pretty damn fast.

256/96 adsl, Sup?

Its rather slow but still it gets the job done, The usual elapse time of me downloading a new released game is around 35kbps but when i download old games (such as silent hill and shadow hearts) it takes me a good 4-5 days, I've started downloading silent hill 3 last saturday and i'm like 80% now, so by tommorow this will be done.

2MB Uncapped broadband from Freeola (UK based).

Downstream: 2272 Kbps
Upstream: 288 Kbps

Usually download between 30-40Gigs a month.
