I've had cox cable (5 Mbps/1 Mbps) for three years, and a currently am trying out verizon's FIOS service (15 Mbps/2 Mbps).
I've had Cox now for about 3 or 4 years but I’m waiting for verizon to make it out to my area, I guess I’m just too far out in the woods. :( It's getting closer thou. :)Quote:

Crap service DSL... $45 a month, and I get buggy 768 down, 256 up, and it constantly crashes, but that is all that is available in my area... No cable or anything. I wish I had Verizon.

I was in Moscow visiting an old friend, and after years on dial-up he received a "unlimited 256k broadband". In other words, 40% of theoretical maximum traffic limit, 8 sources limit and rather buggy. He can use max ~30gb a month.
Now coming back, I run my delightfull truly unlimited 4mbit line. Over the period of one and a half day I have 5gb in and 800mb out.
Using Tmeter is fun ;)
DSL 512Kbps
T1 in University.... :D
Although I am not a student I love surfing there... :)

3Gdown/1.5Gup Fiber optics. All at my house for $50 amonts. Optimum Rules :woot:

Download = 4,000 kilobits per second

DSL is better. Even with their standard basic package, DSL whoops cable's a$$ in uploading.
let me mention that again... Cables suck http://www.panda.org/graphics/educat..._kangaroo1.jpg's a$$.... :slapass: :stick: :slap:
DSL... 8Mbps download, 1Mbps upload. This costs me around $37 (298SEK) here in Sweden.
How is that price compared to your prices?
Comcast cable with 6 Mbps down, something very low up. I think they say 768 but it is probably less in practice.
There is no chance in hell to get anything symmetric to move my webservers into my home here north of Boston :(. It seems they are too afraid of professional dotcomers doing business at home and supress any kind of high upload in residential areas.
And no, DSL with more than 768 Kbps up isn't available either.
