i have cable.
but it's never fast enough... i wish my upload speed is 1GB /s. :/
Mine just got upgraded today to 2.2 / 256k from 576k / 256k... I love the new speed :D
10Mbit broadband full duplex. I had 100Mbit last summer but it was too expensive :dammit: But the speed was unimaginable fast. Downloading a dvd img file (4.5GB) in 15 minutes !! :woot:
10/10 fiber
1500k down, 256k up, ADSL :)
im still on 56k but goin 2mb adsl next month! :woot:
256kbps down 128kbps up and i pay like 40 bucks for it damn i hate to live here :(
Cable at home OC-48 at work (144x T1 :P)
2Mb/256k ADSL, trouble is the damn 30GB cap on it... I hit about the 20th of the month, have to crawl at 300/256 then... ARGH!!!
3.2mbit/768kbit, looking for something cheaper.
I should have had 10mbit/10Mbit when I move.. but apperently the building have made some lousy deal with someone giving 1mbit/1mbit (for 1/3) of the price of the other.. and it's mandatory.. can't escape paying for that crap
Verizon Fiber Optic's. Its 5MB download and 2MB upload. I tried to convince my parents to upgrade to the 15/2 package but they don't want to spend the extra 10 dollars. Grrrrrrr
I'd come up with the extra $10 if I were you. :2cents: ;)Quote:

Man, mine is ADSL but da speed is really terrible while it is advertised 2Mbps down and 640 Kbps up. Grrrrrrrrr... Here is what dslreport.com told me:

2005-06-19 12:20:37 EST: 823 / 563
Your download speed : 843476 bps, or 823 kbps.
A 102.9 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 576535 bps, or 563 kbps.
Hey Jason, what is your monthly fee? Here, I spent 'bout 40 USD per month for my terrible ADSL connection :((Quote:

They just started installing FiOS. I think only like 4-5 states have Verizon FiOS available and even then its limited to a few area's the only places in the DFW area that I know of that have it is Keller and a very small part of Grapevine. Keller is just north of Fort Worth.
I keep wondering at times when will US broadband (be it wired or wireless) match up to that of some foreign countries... I was just browsing a korean site which offers internet service...
here is approximate pricing of product translated...
1) Lite: $20 2Mbps service
2) Premium: $30 8Mbps service
3) Fibre: $30... fibre optics... 32Mbps max service....
And... you know what... 90% of population can be covered in 1 and more than 50% is covered under 3 (just about most apartments are covered and it's rare to have house in definition of house as in America... either you are filthy rich or live in farm land... and even those farm land have above mentioned 1 and 2 services...0_0)
Reason was government involvement in deploying fibre optics through out country a decade ago.
Just the fact US has such low density population vs land mass probably is what is slowing the infrastructure down so much.
Ok antipop, I'lll pay ur pops the diff (40 euro) and ill move in with you. 100mbs up and down is just scary... talk about insane upload.. u could host a fleet of webservers.
You're welcome any time Maxxx :)
I'm so surprised that France beats USA in speed and price (for broadband only ;) ). I can get 20Mb download (i don't know for up but it should be around 4) for less than $30! And this is ADSL so pretty much everybody is covered. So far i'm at 8 because the DSLAM hasn't been updated yet (it should be before the end of the year). Plus i get cable TV and free phone within france (VoIP).
I was surprised to see that in the US there is still ads for 56k connections. I guess people were telling that france was retarded on internet connection and they did everything to close the gap
here i have 1mb down and 645kbit up according to dslreports.
dl 786 kb/s up 128 kb/s ADSL connection
antipop, ill come to frace, but I have to go to alaska to see kunaak first....
