Well here is my comcast for tonight

Mine is a Campbell's Soup can with a string running out the bottom of it into the ground. It is slow.

Verizon Fiber.

My connection is supposedly symmetrical. This is motivating me to check this a few more times and maybe mention that my U/L is 1/8th of D/L speed...

Either way, I am thrilled with Verizon (for once) for putting this screamer in my home... The only thing killing me is their supplied router, which was set to update firmware silently. The last update killed off every Mac in the house for wireless. I had to reinstall the old version for now.

So that stupid router gives you wireless problems too? It only seems to work for a few days and then stops working! Of course it never affects the Windows computers though.:mad:
 
One of the slowest university connections I've seen. I think it is fiber optic as at least once a year construction crews cut through our cables. In the dorms at the University of Illinois we had 10 megabit connection but 1GB daily downloads then you get throttled back to 56k speed

 
I have a 2MB connection for my LAN which i get 250kbs download rates on it, the thing is with this connections i am always guaranteed to get that much. I also have a 4MB that i use for downloads torrents, itunes and any other large file. With this connection i get about 450kbs but it never stays there, it hits that but normally its around 300kbs.
 
Got the usual "Up to 8mbps" ADSL at home (768kbps up). I picked the DSL option as it's my primary access method at home.

At work it's fiber, 2mbps up and down with about 4ms latency to London.

On the move I use Vodafone 3G Broadband (HSDPA) that realistically provides 1.3mbps down and 300kbps up, though Vodafone are rolling out coverage that takes this to 7.2mbps down and over 1mbps up - which will be faster than a lot of people's ADSL connections.
