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? |

This DSL costs me $41US a month and it's the best in all of auckland. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Your download is okay, but gosh. I couldn't live with such a low upload. Especially for 40 freakin' bucks!

Some Comcast nonsense included in the cable/internet/voip package. Better than I would have thought, actually. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
12,000 down, and 720 up, roughly.
How ya doing, buddy? |

I'm on Cox, but Tucson's lines have never been great and most houses are really far away from the good lines. They really stretch that last mile here. This is for about $45 a month (I pay a little over $90 for internet and expanded basic cable).
Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm sitting behind a somewhat old-school connection here, but the numbers this thing gives me don't add up at all. Seems like the test shows the speeds as being fraction of what they should be (got downloads/uploads running, but still). Oh well.
Most amazing jew boots |
I think it's costing 50 bucks for 300kb/s down and 30kb/s up for me. Plus all the other gay shit Frontier/Citizens forces on you to buy with the network connection, probably adds up to $90+. Can't get cable out here so I'm fucked. Never get Frontier/Citizens dsl. it sucks. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Comcast Cable, with a promo rate of 24.99/mo or something close to that. Yeah, the upstream's crap and it really shows when I PPTP into my home network and try to fire up a Remote Desktop connection.

Reason: These numbers are close to beleivable--I've hit 1.24 MB/sec on downloads with a download accererlation tool.

It's meant to be an 8meg connection. I get this through Tiscali, and I pay £18 ($35) a month for it. Not very good at all. How ya doing, buddy? |
DSL or cable? Additional Spam:
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. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's DSL, and everyone with this ISP is having the same problem. I'm going to see about getting my MAC in the next few days, it's been like this for months now.
FELIPE NO |
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. =\
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
It's only supposed to be a 1 meg connection, so these results aren't too bad. We're paying £14.99 per month for it, but the advantage is that it is genuinely uncapped. No matter how much we use it, we don't get the "bad boy" letter as long as we avoid downloading stuff at peak times. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
And now it seems to be getting worse How ya doing, buddy? |

Normally your connection won't be anything like that bad, but that's all that is guaranteed. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

Pfft. I remember my friend was paying for the 8mb, and he was getting half that speed and Comcast gave him some bullshit about "Our advertised speeds aren't guaranteed" and pretty much refused to send a technician. He's VERY computer saavy (A+ OS/Hardware, CCNA), so he had done everything he could at his end. After much complaints, Comcast decided to finally send out a technician some 3 MONTHS LATER!!!
FELIPE NO |
I like how the speed I get varies from location to location. The Montreal server gives me something like 1600kb/s, the Toronto one about 3000kb/s and the New York one roughly 4200kb/s. And I'm in Montreal.
