Post Your Connection Speed Part Two

Cogeco cable connection, OS 10.4.11

Same Cogeco with Ubuntu 8.04

Haha. Anyone slower than me?

Wow, yours are FAST! Mine is like 3mbs download and .4mbs upload. I have ATT Fast access blah blah balh

I just replaced my old firewall with a new one and wow my speeds are much faster.

$35/month

Some peoples comments about their 50Meg+ connection make me sick 'ohh it's too slow', 'my crappy speed!' seriously.



Urgh! It's free with TalkTalk but we pay line rental + calls from them. All in all we pay about £23 a month for calls, broadband and line rental but my Mum sorts all that out. We pay for upto 8MB, but our area is max 2.5meg'ish.

Argh so annoying *cry*

If that sounds bad, see mine! I'm supposed to get 8mbps, but I don't even get 1mbps! Must be due to the time of day or something, usually get about 6mbps....

I hear ya'! I'm totally impressed with Comcast after having AT&T DSL 3.0 (with numbers of 3020kbps download and 300kbps upload) since it came out several years back. Comcast has HD cable TV, local and long distance phone and high-speed internet 16Mbps for $139 USD per month, pretty nice...
