Guys
What connection speed has you? We know if we have 1 Mbit/s we really not have this speed. It is always a bit lower than our ISP have promised.
But choose your speed as you was promised. If you know your real speed lets go for it.

At my grandparents, we have a 2mb ADSL connection which is pretty stable.
In the USA at home I have a 4mb cable connection with Time Warner (when it went from Adelphia I had a bit of trouble but all is well now)
At work in the USA we have a T1
At work in the UK we have a 2mb ADSL with a contention ratio of 1:50 which sucks, so we're looking at upgrading to an 8mb ADSL with 1:10 or SDSL (1:1)
I went for 4mb as that's what I have
EDIT: P.S. You've not voted yet ;)
I have 8 Mbit/s but it is not really 8 Mbit/s. See below:
TCP downstreams : 7,01 Mbit/s
TCP upstreams : 726,91 kbit/s
UDP downstreams : 7.16 Mbit/s
UDP upstreams : 874.45 kbit/s
This is from when I run a Swedish connestion test program named TP-test.
But this program is not for testing through WLAN or wireless network.
There is various reasons why I not can get full access but the connection itself is wery stable. I´ve never had a problem. I started with a 256 kpbs and then change to 0,5 then change to 2 and last upgraded to 8 Mbit/s. The highest speed I can get is 24 Mbit/s and only get 1 Mbit/s upstreams. It isn´t worth that when I think of the cost.:icon_smile:
2Mb now...
Though we're still getting 1Mb speeds but then it was a free upgrade so cant really complain.
1.5mbps ADSL downstream
512kbps upstream
The ISP seems to be real slow upgrading to the apparant ADSL2 or w/e it's called. We have a competiting ISP (Shaw Cable) with has about 8-10mbps downstream.
2 Mb/s download and .5 Mb/s upload on DSL. At least that is what they tell me I am paying $95 a month for. As I live out in the sticks of South Carolina this is the only non-dialup option available to me locally. The local phone company is the only service available for phone/cable/DSL besides satelite, and internet service is not available via cable.
Very rarely do I hit those numbers. Usually I get 250 to 500 Kb/s download and 150 to 250 Kb/s upload speeds. If you notice my Majestic scores I don't crawl very fast (even if it's fairly steady now), and I also had to turn Majestic upload/download speeds down to 40% just to get fairly reliable internet access and not interrupt Boinc too much.
Speed is relative to me, I demand access so I connect to the net through Verizon. Although there is a limit I have superceded that limit with some manipulation of the defualt settings of the routers at the C.O. or Central Office only to get myself in trouble with my provider ( I really don't suggest altering your limit by your self). But If I might say anything is possible with in limitations as the point I am trying to make don't exceed the limitations of the proper cabling accessing your site. If you on a copper antiquated peice of crap, don't set your bandwidth to OC-1 capability, you will be flogged immediately. Try something a little less inconspicuos, like a 3 meg download. Just my opinion and my amazing ability to stay out of jail for such unforgiveable demands, I want fiber to my door damn It!
Ok Enough Ranting!
Not too bad I guess... It's actually alot faster in the morning. I usually can get over 5mb.

Here's mine, I use to get loads more but it looks like they've capped me now at 10MB...

You can go to www.speedtest.net to test your connection speed and publish the results here if you want to compare!

I found my net connection use my full speed yesterday when i downloaded OpenSUSE from Austria. 1.2mb per second.

For now, I get my new house on Nov 17. I use Time Warner and I think Adelphia (Time Warner) in Nov. So far no cable co. claims to suport my new house. But there is a cable box on the pole in front, so someone will give me high speed:5zombie:.
Holy Crap... 10mb... I'm moving to the UK.
Anyone have fiber to the home available to them yet?? And how much per month is it??
I do, well sort of! I have cable broadband so it's fibre along my street and then coax to my house! at about £35 a month.
My brother in HK gets true fibre to his apartment and gets 100MB! not sure how much it costs though as he says its part of the service charge for the apartment!
My broadband goes via the phone jack. I have a direct outtage only for broadband but I can´t use it because it it linked to another operator. If I want to use it I must change ISP and that can takes up to up to 2 weeks waiting and you can think what it will mean for my OCing. If I chould change I chould download 2000 Wu:s from TKC or D20L and crunch them.
For 8 Mbit I pay $166,48 (£88,85) every quarter. In this sum is included $33,29 what we call moms a type of tax to the government. During a year I pay a sum of $665,94 (£355,39) in total all as all.
It isn´t the cheapest but the most secure and with the best service. My ISP Telia owns the whole sircuit net as goes from south to the north of Sweden. Other operators must hire access through Telia.
Telia is a large company and has small telechops in every large city ehere I can go and buy their modems and routers and of sorce trough the net. Other operators dont have chops only via Internet.
Sometimes it is better talk between 2 eyes rather than use Internet:)
I pay £35 ($65) a month for 10mbit with Blueyonder (now NTL, which apparently also become Virgin. I dunno who owns what now)
Well in South Africa we are really behind in internet tech...
At Home I have a 64k dialup
At My Apppartment I have a 384k ADSL with a 5gb cap
At University, the entire university runs off a 10mb line!!!
These crappy connections are due to us having a monopoly on our telecom. infrastructure and the high prices that we have to pay for bandwidth and phone calls. :(
You all beat me I live so far out in the sticks that we don't have DSL or Cable. I have wireless internet and my acess point is an antena up on a grain elevator about a mile from my house. lol It's either that or dial up and out here that finishes second to two tin cans and a string. I get ok speed, when I downloaded Vista (~400Mb) it took about 2.5 hours. But, the Cardinals won tonight so maybe next weekend I'll go to a game.
I just heard that my ISP is rolling out 20mbit/768kbps at the end of the year for all the 10mbit/384kbps customers free of charge (that would be me) and upgrading some other packages to 10mbit for most other customers.
There is currently a broadband war going on here at the moment between NTL & BT. BT are winning with 24mbit/1.3mbit at the moment for home users.
The extra upload will be nice anyway :D
Woo Hoo! That affects me as well as I'm NTL.
My bandwidth has shot up and then has rapidly been knocked down again several times over the past 3months so they've probably be testing it over here!
Claimed to be 1.5 Mbps download and 512 Kbps up
http://www.speedtest.net/result/71560121.png
That's coast to coast ... so I'm not far off and other systems on the network are sharing the bandwidth.
not sure what mine is supposed to be now, possibly 4meg down.

Hi guys...I need a little help here...got the test results but not the prognosis!:icon_rolleyes: http://www.speedtest.net/result/71653136.png
So...I understood I could get up to 8mbps...but it may be only 3...so where does that fit with what I got in the test....in non-nerd speak please!!
I have no idea but the upload looks good
http://www.speedtest.net/result/71654614.png
you never get what your ISP advertises,but you are close.
i don't understand this comment though- "but it may be only 3"
The package I bought is up to 8mps...the local telephone exchange only gives 3mps!:(Quote:

This wireless in a cornfield stinks sometimes.
Dee,
Everyone usually represents their results in "download" speed. The vast majority of most peoples internet traffic is in download mode. I have a need to upload more than I download so I have a package to ease this. But, I wouldn't care what your upload speed costs if I could get that kind of speed I would.
Gatekeeper...that's really kind of you! :) I hope that when they harvest the corn your speeds increase!:icon_lol:Quote:

We're supposed to have 10 Mbps here. To my knowledge the speed is pretty constant and sometimes on rapidshare i even get 11 or 12 Mbps, so we're quite happy ;)
