How fast is your internet connection?

I´m curious about internet speed in your location. Right now I sitting at home on my adsl 256kbit/s-down 128kbit/s-up (440kr/month about 29$)but my 2 servers using two separate 2,3Mbit/s up&down

sdsl connections (2*3300kr/month 2*220$). How much you pay for your internet?

First off, you might want to add a poll to this thread.

I personally live with three other guys (mmm, college). We get standard digital cable plus 1.5Mbps downstream speeds. Not sure about upstream. Either symmetric or 256kbps. Our monthly bill is $97 (for tv and internet). If you just count the net connection, i'd say somewhere around $40-50.

belgian is great for broadband : coverage everywhere and choice between cable and adsl
currently i have 128kbps up / 768 kbps down but al line are being upgraded to 3mbps down ... cable is 128kbit up / 10mbps down max (more realistic day to day speeds are 5-8 mbps)

adsl is 37e , dunno about cable

and u can get adsl 512k up / 8mbit down for 60e if u live in the right town or so ( i don't

)

1.5mb down/256k up attbi cable here. Its decent. Nowhere near as fast as it used to be though before @home went under and cut off at&t. Back then I woud regularly get 2-4mb down. Sigh....

. at my house we are on 384k down , 128k up adsl.

2m/350k with Roadrunner cable. Can't remember exact price (at work), but ~$40-50 /mo

Larde · Posted: Sun Dec 15, 2002 8:46 am Post subject:

Technically 2 Mbit SDSL, but limited to 1024kb down / 256 kb up at the next hop. That's 59 uro / month. :-(

Haven´t measured the actual speed, but I have a 10Mbit RJ45 connection in the wall.

800k/s download (on Direct Connect for example) is not unsual.

512/512 for 375 swedish kronor a month. about 40$ a month. :-(

Wow, forgot to say that I'm not paying anything for my 10Mbit line, only installation for about 50.
Guess it is integrated in the rent, although the rent is the same whether you use the connection or not.

I'm not sure the speed of my connection. I think its 1.5 mbit. I've gotten 800-900KBytes/sec (not kbits) downloaf quite often. I also used to be able to upload at about the same speed, but its since been capped at about 60K/sec

hmm... that sounds a little excessive, its just our regular cable internet service here. but its not a very heavily populated town so it never really gets slow.

Matje · Posted: Sun Dec 15, 2002 10:22 pm Post subject:

10 Mbps / 128 kbps
At home I get about 600 kB/s when downloading from fast servers.
At college I have same connection, shared with 13 other people :-)

goes well but for one thing: the ISP limits the bandwith to 10 GB / 30 days of which 1.5 GB upload max. And with 13 people that might go wrong sometimes ;-)

If you go over it, the ISP caps you @ 56 kbps until the download from last 30 days goes below 9.8 GB / 1.3 GB. Believe me, when @ 56 kbps with 13 people, you can't even get all the M$ messengers to work at the same time :-)

Cost of it is 39 / month.
