How fast is your home internet connection?

[cliffordcooley]

As someone with a 100MB/5MB connection, let me tell you...It's not just awful, it's horrible.

If I'm gonna feed the troll, at least let me know what it is you like to eat. lol

Me: (via TimeWarner, in SoCal, USA), I currently have 100mbit down/5mbit up. 4 years ago, I'm guessing it was 15mbitdown/2up. A lot of websites will saturate my download rate during downloads, so its been a dream. For those slower websites that cap well below 100, I use download managers such as freedownloadmanager to open up multiple streams, so I can still max out my connection. Steaming sites such has youtube, are awesome now, as I can watch the 1080 streams without breakups! I do NOT look forward what may come of things with Comcast purchase (I'm assuming I can say good bye to unlimited, and open ports to serve via (I'm technically not 'allowed' to serve with current setup, but nothing is put in place to actually stop it).......

People need to learn difference betwen mbps & MBps, and GB/s & gb/s

Oh well, you know what they say, "ask any question, stupid or otherwise, and cranky will give you a stupid answer"..........

Such high ideals and standards, and from a guest, no less!(y) (Good luck with that)!

Here in America it's not how much bandwith you have...it's how you use it.

This is slightly reminiscent of the old adage, "size doesn't matter"....

I live in Australia, don't have NBN or probably won't be getting it anytime soon, but my internet is better than most Australians. Over 17.5Mbps down and 0.8Mbps up, I still find it slow some cases but I do have the better end of ADSL2+.

6Mbps ADSL at my house and 7Mbps Cable at my apartment.

"Lucky " Romanian guy here. I have 1 Gb connection, I know that sounds like a dream for some people, but Romania is well known for this in the world.And I pay for it 59 RON, which is something near 14 Euros. It`s a dream

Also no data cap ( why is this still a thing, really?? )

5 mbits here in mexico with telephone line for $48 a month.

 

[Guest]

In Romania there is this big isp RCS&RDS and they have been deploying fiber for years.
I have a "500 Mbit down 100 Mbit Up" but if you read the fine print that is for their metropolitan network,because in reality I have 30 down and about 10 up.
But the price is pretty good, about 16 $ US a month.

 

[VitalyT]

200Mbit/10Mbit of theoretical speed, 103Mbit/10.5Mbit in practice, with UPC Ireland.

 

[toooooot]

1 GB/sec here for as low as 19 US $

We hate you, why cant we all have nice things? Why?

 

[toooooot]

35Up 35 down mbps petty fair to actual speed, frontier. And thanks to Frontier for freeing us from greedy Comcast bloody vampire bastards. Bastards! 75 dollars for 20mbps up and 5 mbps down, greedy bastards!

 

[gobbybobby]

150,down but a slow 12 up. Virgin media.

 

[Mister_K]

lol 100Mb "awful"
lol 6Mb "awful"

The download is good enough and I have no problems however if you compare the UK outdated old infrastructure to Scandinavia or some of the Asian countries it really puts us to shame and the price as well :/

 

[Greg S]

12mbps down 2mbps up. Not bad really. I could have 24mbps is I was willing to pay over $70 a month, but I'm not. If you drive a few minutes down the street from me, there is a business district where all the office buildings have many fiber lines running in. I believe there is an option to get 10Gbps, for a price of course.

 

[supertech]

At home in Toronto, Canada 250Mbps down / 20up and I can go up to 350 down..

On vacation right now in Jamaica, Montego Bay, and it's 25 down/10up at the hotel. Wow, I can't believe it's do fast here at a resort.

maybe you should read through the rest of this thread before complaining >_>
America called, and plenty of us are just fine with 10-20 mbps.
