Where should you go for ludicrous speed?

sweet that means SHAW's monopoly is going to be even better with 1Gbps

 

[mlopinto2k1]

This will be the new speed war. Kinda like when MB's turned into GB's in hard drives and Mhz into Ghz in CPU's.

 

[gekko668]

I guess those cities list above have the several competition companies, therefore have the highest average speed rating.

SSDs would sell a lot better if everyone had 1 gbps internet. If Comcast offers these speeds ever, we'll be able to use all 500 GB of cap space in a little over an hour.

High school gamers! If you want a fast internet connection, enroll at Duke, Stanford, or Cal Berkeley and get your frag on!

overkill .... is what it is ....

So how is 18.7Mbps the fastest in the world if you can get 1Gbps in Hong kong???

 

[blackbyron]

damn for 1 GBPS of this, I'm would host a dedicated server for 64 slots lol.

 

[scifiguy]

Thats weird, I have 1 Gbps fiber at work. And it is NOT an educational institute.

 

[XD_dued]

Hmmm...i have 8mbit/s 🙁

 

[zaam]

That's it. I'm switching to Shaw.

 

[Guest]

22mbit/s here in Russia/Moscow for $30, 100mbit/s for $57
WiMAX up to 10.4mbit/s wireless for $30 per month anywhere in five largest cities

 

[haunted one]

I'm happy with my speed. REMOVE THE BANDWIDTH CAPS

Saudi Arabia - 1 mbit/sec for about the equivalent of $60 a month.

 

[acecombat]

And for those who complain about speeds in the US, come to Australia where most areas only have up to 1.5mb at ridiculous prices (about $55USD for 20gb)

 

[TidalWaveOne]

18.7Mbps? I have 35Mbps!

 

[fflam]

i wonder how much user choice lowers the speed totals. here in the greater Seattle area Comcast offers 12mb, 16mb, 22mb and 50mb internet connections. there are 2 competitors one quest offers a 1.5mb dsl, and the other is clear (WiFi) witch is around the same (though i think they are speeding up soon). there are still alot of people that go with the slower internet (at around the same price as Comcast mind you) for what ever reason (not arguing the reason they chose who they chose). so how much does that chose skew the results of the survey.

also i noticed on the akamai website, it shows the top speed for Redmond at 5mb, and there visual graph starts to top out at 2mb.. numbers just look screwy to me.

You mean UNC Chapel Hill. Duke is in Durham, NC.

 

[7amood]

I have 20GB cap with up to 2mbps (depending on network availability) for 85$

Leftover bandwidth, what are you going to watch with a Gb/s line... that is censored.

 

[hok]

The Hong Kong speed is pretty useless unless you are surfing inside the island, since its all bottlenecked to a few lines outside of Hong Kong it really slows down once you try to do large transfers with US or EURO...

 

[pojih]

In the dorms at Michigan State I was getting around 25 down from the wall.

Was nice, especially once I moved off campus and had to get Comcast.

 

[soundefx]

All this speed in the US but you're limited in the amount you can download. To me, that is both frustrating and useless.
