Internet Connection Speed

[argor]

here is my slow internet connection

 

[suryad]

Comcast is upgrading my internet connection tomorrow. I will have updated results soon

Uncapped, cable.

It's 66 Euro/month, including phone and digital TV (both of which I don't use).

 

[suryad]

You guys and your fast internet sicken me.

A few days old but speed is pretty much the same nonetheless. I get that + TV + phone for around 28€/month including renting the modem. Also uncapped, I've had months when download+upload exceed a couple of TB's and haven't heard any complaints

Why complain about 30/2? That's definitely a good speed for home use, hardly need anything higher. Coming from Australia I think I'm spoilt here in the US for bandwidth and limits.

I kind of like the ability to host family photos and videos off from my home PC, similarly using it as network storage is convenient. For a while I had my home MP3 collection mounted to my work PC and cellphone over SSH so I could listen to whatever I had at home without having to move it to the devices.

Though I admit that's hardly what you'd consider normal usage.

I would definitely use the upload for remote storage as well, if it was faster. Being used to a 1Gb network, 10Mb definitely feels very slow.

 

[hoom]

Since we are including work speeds

This is my normal work connection:

This is from my remote console (barely has processing power to run the speedtest.net page & weirdly I get reverse results on less intensive speed test):

Nah not complaining still staggering to see people getting those ridiculous speeds at residential locations I am a big torrenter and all the anime i grab from fansubs and sports events that BBC and Eurosport cover in HD and all that is just perfect with this connection. Would I like more speed?! Who wouldn't! But I am quite happy with that connection though. Would have loved for a bit more upload speed actually.

Using my Android phone as a mobile hotspot at home.

And here's my new home fiber:

 

[snarfbot]

acceptable performance for my uses. still jealous about the norwegian isp though ill tell ya.

 

[AlNom]

25/3 for me, though that's being upgraded soon...

 

[Scott_Arm]

You guys would all be jealous of my 5Mb DSL line, so I'm not going to post any results.

 

[AlNom]

No decent cable packages?

No decent cable packages?

I don't have a contract, so I'm going to look into cable, but it's a pain in the ass to take time off work for installers etc. Plus, I'm in an apartment in a walk-up that's over 100 years old, so I'd have to get permission from my landlord to get a cable run into the apartment, if there isn't one that I've missed already.

 

[rendezvous]

This is what get.
I'm paying for 100/10 (60/6 guaranteed) so I'm quite happy.
