I've just been bumped up to your speed uncapped and unshaped this week from 1Mbps at no extra cost and I'm still reeling (happily) from it. Honestly speaking our connectivity speed (and connectivity in general) really sucks here despite the fact we have one of the high speed submarine cables landing right on our doorstep. Most of the country relies on obscenely overpriced 3G/4G mobile data. It's also a sad state of affairs when your telecoms service provider is a state owned and run monopoly.10MBPS.
Honestly I dont need more. more is always nice but I do just fine with what I have.
I guess thats another reason im so happy with it, im in the middle of Appalachia and am lucky to be getting cable internet at allI've just been bumped up to your speed uncapped and unshaped this week from 1Mbps at no extra cost and I'm still reeling (happily) from it.

damn, can't keep myself from drooling.1 GB/sec here for as low as 19 US $
Globe Telecom Philippines, wimax, less than 1000php/month (<20$ u.s. at 1$~45php+)1mbps, with free burst up to 1.5mbps usually after 10-11PM) tax included.
...translates to about 128KBps actual download speed up to 192KBps...good enough for my internet surfing needs but not in the l4d/l4d2/d3 gaming = lag/too much ping.
...data cap at beginning of contract about 15-20gb/month more than 3 years ago, then about 15gb/month 2 years ago, then about 10gb/month currently. after data cap is reached, throttling occurs.
