Limits should die. No of Hours (if applicable): Limits should rot in hell.

Average Data Transfer Speed (download): 500KB, sometimes more, when i have enough stuff to download. Websites are getting better, but usually i need 3 torrents dloads at the same time, if not more, to top up my connection, as it's rare to get torrents that download at more than 200KB. Never found a torrent that downloads at more than 350KB or so, although many websites allow me to download at more than 500KB Expense per month (in USD): UK£40 including phone. ********* |

Not wanting to spoil anyone's day, I'd have to confess that although my connection is quite fat, it does not cure cancer, nor does it do my dishes. I find that most use is limited by server response time, so that I feel little difference from the 1Mbit/1Mbit line at my parents' house in everyday use..
Country: Norway Type of Connection: LAN Brand/ISP name: Uninett Connection Speed: 155Mbit Data Transfer Limit (if applicable): 20GB pr. 2 days Any Comment: Average Data Transfer Speed (upload): Depends on target Average Data Transfer Speed (download): Depends on source Expense per month (in USD): Included in rent. The real benefit of living on a student campus-like area, with these internet connections, is that the 5-7 (haven't counted) different campuses around the city are connected through a common LAN, and that the largest has the connection out to the regular internet. On the Campus Network, there are a couple of DC++hubs where one can find nearly anything at more than descent speeds (up to 10MB/s). Other than that, certain torrents will from time to time reach 4-5MB/s, some fast servers (Microsoft, ATi, nVidia and their likes) also from time to time manage to max out the line, but most of the time the connection does not benefit workflow more than a 4Mbit line would.. Think I will miss it when I eventually move out, though... -- K

Not the fastestest but rock solid. Average Data Transfer Speed (upload): 384 Average Data Transfer Speed (download): 384 Expense per month (in USD): $30 The above is hooked up to a 4-port DSL/router and is shared by my family on all our PCs and is more than enough for us all to cruise on very fast, but.... Country: USA Type of Connection: Cable Brand/ISP name: Comcast Connection Speed: 6Mb/520 Data Transfer Limit (if applicable): None No of Hours (if applicable): None Any Comment: INSANELY zippy, but not as reliable as the DSL. Average Data Transfer Speed (upload): 400 Average Data Transfer Speed (download): Whatever the servers can give me, generally above 1Mb. Expense per month (in USD): $23, including modem rental This is hooked up exclusively to Bubbles (my PC) and is my primary file sharing/internet connection so I don't screw up the families connection anymore. Sometimes if'n I'm lucky I can trick Azureus into uploading on both lines which I tend to try and do overnight, but it's also nice to have a back-up in case one of them goes out. (Yeah, I know I'm totally spoiled and I totally love it. 8) ) EDITED BITS: A bolding formatting fix.

Type of Connection: ADSL Brand/ISP name: Internode Connection Speed: 512/128 Data Transfer Limit (if applicable): 30,000 Megabytes ( only downloads and a handful of free sites ) No of Hours (if applicable): Unlimited Any Comment: AT 30,000 MB its capped to 64/64 Average Data Transfer Speed (upload): 12 kB Average Data Transfer Speed (download):512kB Expense per month : $70 AUS so about $49 US ( not including line rental which is either 18.95,24.95 or 27.95 from tesltra ) 5 years ago it would have been more like $90 for 3 gig a month then like $0.18 per meg after that. In about 15 months the majority of australia should hopefully have access to decent internet with the national monopoly finally uncapping ADSL so we can get more then 1.5mbit/256kbit ( supposedly I believe they will allow up to like 10 or 12mbit on ADSL2/2+ modems the maxium speed they will allow hasn't been anounced yet but it won't be 24mbit ).

I was starting to feel pretty damn bad after seeing Worm, Guden, and cloudscape. But now seeing that the rest of the world is pretty shitty too, with high prices, makes me feel better.
 Who says USA internet options suck?

The 300kbps option was upped to 1.0mbps, the 750 to 2.0 and 1.5 to 3.0mbps. NTL haven't been very forthcoming in telling people about it though and you have to let them know whether or not you want it. You can apply the free tier migration here The only downside being, that where as the previous 750 and 1.5 services were unlimited, the new higher speed grades have a 30GB/month cap, although from what I've heard, they're fairly lax on enforcememt, provided you're not a serial p2p/downloader sucking 100GB's + per month! It was about time that NTL upped the speeds, as Telewest and Blueyonder currently have IIRC, a 4mbps high-end service and are apparently trialling a 8mbps service for rollout this year, while the ADSL operators have been surpassing cable in speed/bandwidth options in the pass two years or so. NTL are apparently trialling an 18mbps service, but from what I've read, whether or not NTL's network infrastructure can handle such a high speed, widespread rollout in the next year is another question! Country: UK Type of Connection: Cable Brand/ISP name: NTL Connection Speed: 2.0mbps downstream / 256kbps upstream Data Transfer Limit (if applicable): 30GB per month No of Hours (if applicable):no Any Comment: NTL does seem to have a bad rep over tech support, although I haven't experienced any problems in this regard and have been using the service for over three years. The service is generally quite stable, but it does occasionally crap out (what a nice technical term  ). I'm quite pleased with the service at the moment, as i just received a free upgrade from 750/128 to 2000/256 for the same monthly fee.Average Data Transfer Speed (upload): ~25-30KB/s Average Data Transfer Speed (download): ~230KB/s Expense per month (in USD): £24.99 per month / ~$45-50 per month Cheers, BrynS |

Optimum Online does have a data transfer limit. They just don't tell you what it is.
