What's your connection speed?

[mipmo]

Hello everyone!

My question is simple:

What's your internet connection speed?

My average connection speed is about 500 Kilobytes per second download, ad 50 Kilobytes per second upload.

If you don't know what your speed is, check it at http://www.speedtest.net .

I get CenturyLink Gigabit Internet, so I have about 500 megabits per second both ways. That's actually bottlenecked by my wireless router though. When I connect directly I get about 930 megabits down/up.

[LordFerret]

Snail down, cold molasses up.

[pxi]

~15Mbit down ~750Kbit up.

My ISP recently got in touch to offer me an "upgrade" to their fibre service - 12Mbit down for just an extra few euros a month.

Not cool Vodafone, not cool at all.

10Mbit down, 1Mbit up, on a good day. Slow as... something quite slow.
I remember well my old 28.8k, but somehow data grows to consume all available bandwidth.

Ed. no, I take that back... slower than usual right now 8.8Mbit down, 900Kbit up. Time to repeatedly robocall my ISP until I get a pickup - generally ~45min+6 attempts.

100Mbps down, 10Mbps up. Actual values are around 95 and 9.5.

[Alphasus]

100 Mbs down, 40 Mbs up in practice. Theoretically, 1000 Mbs down and 100 MBs up.

man you are lucky, I have about 10Mbs down and 1 Mbs up with a 150 gig data cap

[InterCity]

5 mb/s download speed, about 2,5 mb/s upload. Unlimited data cap.

The ISP company refuses to put optical through our suburb, I'm stuck with ADSL. Sometimes the 4G of my phone is actually faster than my home connection. 

[Kozak]

Slower than a car with no gas.

[Nookos]

My tiny village got a boost about 2 months ago  I now have 13Mbps down and 0.8Mbps up. And that is absolutely fantastic as before that I had less than 1 Mbps down and ridiculous upload. Better still during peak hours I used to lose the connection completely. 3 years of that makes me appreciate what I have now immensely.

I'm pretty sure this is a bit more than I pay for (should be 46 down, 4.7 up). I've seen it go even faster from time to time. It's enough that me and the other people I live with can watch youtube/netflix or game without usually creating any problems for each other.

[CaelumEtAstra]

16 Mbps (2MB/s) down, 1 Mbps (800kB/s) up. Pretty decent connection, it gets the job done seeing as I'm not the kind of person that downloads several gigabyte files at a time.

I get 5Mb down/ 1Mb up.

[Whizzkid]

I get 35 mbits/s down and 10 mbits/s up.

[linuxgurugamer]

I have 50/50, FIOS.  and it's extremely reliable

[Frybert]

17.17 Mbps down, 1.19 up. Now that I think about it, I'm actually pretty scared about what the internet is going to be like when I move onto that land I bought.

[Trann]

3Mbps down, 350kbsp up, 42GB cap.  #prairieproblems

Depends whether the TV reception box thing is on or not.

ATM it is on, but when turned off, it goes up to aprox. 6Mb/s down. In any case, I pay for 2, so I can't complain too much.

None of the ISPs consider a fiber optic to be profitable in this part of the city, so I'm on copper placed decades ago.

Another problem here is that I'm hooked over a powerline adapter, which is bugged, so I have to ping the router constantly, or the adapter throws a hissy fit.

That's some advanced fiber you've got there.

The ones bypassing my house support only 70% of that.

Maybe he has these cables.

[cubinator]

No, that's just how fast the microwaves go. How fast my page loads is another question...

[longbyte1]

About 491000000 bauds down and 49600000 bauds up.

I've got a really nice modem, don't I.
