Post your internet speeds here

I'm interested in seeing what type of speeds everyone gets through their ISP and how much it costs them a month. Use www.speedtest.net for this. I guess I'll start. (keep in mind your speeds probably wont be accurate if you have a torrent or download going)



I pay $59.99 a month for this cable connection. During peak hours I notice my downloads dropping around 5mbps instead of 10, but most of the time I hit my cap. Probably because I live in a small town where everyone uses dial-up. =O

How ya doing, buddy?

Your download is okay, but gosh. I couldn't live with such a low upload. Especially for 40 freakin' bucks!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

8mbps down connection and you're only hitting 2mbps? I'd call and complain about that. They should drop you down to a cheaper and lower rate if you can't handle more than that.

DSL or cable?

Never get Frontier/Citizens dsl. it sucks.

You still have that same ISP? I remember you complaining that my AOL DSL was faster than your connection years ago. Haha, I'm glad I don't have AOL anymore.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You must be too far from the telephone company to hit 8 megs or something. All the DSL ISPs in my area won't put you on a high plan like that if you're too far away to get them. =\

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That's not crap. A lot of people would kill for that upload speed. It took me forever to acquire an ISP in my area that has a higher upload than 256kbps!

I was speaking idiomatically.

AT&T has a 20down 10up cable internet package? I thought they only offered DSL.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Finally got my new internet through comcrap today. This'll due until fiber is installed in my area (its quickly spreading through this area of Sacramento).

FELIPE NO

Bump.



I've switched from Comcast to AT&T due to Comcast being very overpriced. I'm still waiting for Surewest to expand their fiber network into my community. Last time I talked to them they said they should be able to after the FCC passes that new rule that doesn't allow MDUs (multiple dwelling units) to keep exclusive contracts with certain ISPs in these communities. And of course AT&T is the exclusive telephone company for this community meaning surewest can't bring their fiber to the home business here. But not for long~

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Comcast has done some speed upgrades in my area and offered me a nice triple play deal at a great price. I am seeing some pretty amazing speeds on my downloads.




Next year it will only get better when they upgrade our nodes to support DOCSIS 3 speeds.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
