I just posted this thread to see what everyone gets for their download speed and see all the great internet connections I don't have access to :)

I get about 150 kb/s about 1.5 mbps so not too bad...until I see you lucky fiber user's internet! What's everyone else's download speeds?
 
Actually 1.5mbps isn't too bad for being here in the US I think that's the avg. I get about 30mbps down because I do have fiber :) but I saw a post on Powerband Internet I think you can get fiber too? you may want to google it because I didn't but I'm pretty sure you can get it?
 
im from the UK and its pretty standard for us to get roughly 8-12mbps most of the time on standard cable,

i personally can get 8mbps on most downloads, although the uploads are pretty ****, making the webpages slower than required.

i would love to go fibre but not very wide spread in the uk yet, which is a shame, as this will put BT into a situation.

but whos complaining, lol
 
on cable, around 1000KB/sec (so like, 10-12mbps?) and at my old residence at school: 4-5mb/sec (so, huh, 40-50mbps?) going both ways (split about 2/3 down, 1/3 up). Max upload was only like 2mb/sec.
 
I can download up to a max of 6 Mbps which is the best my ISP can provide me here in Germany. Not sure what the upload rate is, but I don't care about that.
 
Well, if they'd get my connection fixed. I normally run at 900KB/s to 1.3MB/s so thats around 10-14mbps. I can upgrade to the 16mb service, not sure how fast I'd be getting on that. I know you can get faster in some area's around where I am.
 
Now I just Downloaded the Speedtest.et app for the i phone and i am getting 622 kbps download and 210 kbps upload on the 3g network.

Ran it again and got 1152/229
 
At work I have a 5ms ping and 18708 kb/s download and 75997 kb/s upload.

We have about 1000 people sharing the link and most of the usage is download, thus the huge difference in upload bandwidth over download.
 
Im sure this was done recently.....
Anyhoo 16MB connection limited by my 5.5MB linespeed.

Fastest ive seen is a 1.2 torrent, but i pulled a 300mb file down in a few seconds the other day so maybe i got upgraded...need to do a speedtest methinks.
 
comcast screwed up about a year ago and i was downloading at 3.6 MB/s. yes MEGABYTES a second. now i download at 1.8-2.2 MB/s since comcast increased their speeds in my area. fastest upload i have had is only ~ 400 KB/s though...
