Gotta love living in Japan.
FTTH in Japan
I get 25Mbps sometimes, maybe 30Mbps. Advertised speed: 15Mbps download, 1Mbps upload

I used to get by on a 512kbps broadband connection. My usual ping (I only play on local servers) was in the 30-60 range. Most games are playable, just don't expect to be a good sniper in TF2!
Now I have a full unlocked 50mbps Infinity connection (9mbps up). I get around 9-20 ping now, probably slowed down a bit by my wifi. Really don't need these kind of speeds though!

I pay for 10Mbps and get pretty close to that (rarely drops below 9). Upload speed is around 0.7Mbps. Got to love Virgin Media cable broadband!
When I was living in college we got around 80Mbps! However, there was an unofficial understanding that you wouldn't download more than 2GB per day.

Maybe of interest according to this article as of 2009, the U.S. ranked 28th in internet speeds available:

However this 2010 article shows the U.S. as No.18 but it also says speeds are on the decline in the U.S.. Maybe they are referring to the number of people (paying for) accessing the internet:

For the last 6 years, my internet has been some slow "line of sight" wireless provider. Too slow to watch YouTube, or download anything larger then 20 MB without waiting for an reasonably long time.
Last week, for being with them so long, they gave us a free equipment upgrade. Now it's actually possible to watch youtube if you give it 30 or 45 seconds at the beginning of the video to load ahead a bit.

What unit is "klmbp/s"?
It is either Kb/s (= Kbit/s or Kbps), KB/s, MB/s or Mb/s (= Mbit/s or Mbps).
Btw, 1B (= Byte) is 8b (= bit).

Yes I 'shopped it and then somehow haxxed into the Speedtest.net server and then got my result to be hosted on their server.
What is the point of continuing this thread? I have won already.
LOL--Must be a different Road Runner than the one I have.
