I'm happy with this, given that I pay about $US 18.00 a month for lowest level of service - 10 Mb/s down and 0.56 Mb/s up.
Fibre came to the neighbourhood about 18 months ago, and I have wire to my apartment. Before that I used a so called 3G service, which promised up to 7.2 Mb/s @ about $US 20.00 a month. On occasion it did hit 1.5 Mb/s. but more typically it was down around 0.3 Mb/s, sometimes much less, not even 5% of what I paid for.

Two different local servers, and huge differences on my university network:
I love how Speedtest.net has an ad that says "You can get faster Internet now!" ....I don't think so. 😛
Funny that my ping is so high, but I guess the Uni network has some stuff it has to go through. My 50/50Mbit/s fiber at home is at 2 ms.

Just an entry-level plan at home:
There are plans to bring 1000/500 here within the next couple of years, and the provider has done some trials with "NG-PON2" and got a whopping 61 Gb/s, but was quick to point out that it is still several years away from residential deployment.

I have 50/5, and it usually tests out to that or a couple above. Question, what do you do with more than that? I could use about 50/20, occasionally. But beyond that... It's torrents right?

Hell, anything slower than that, and we all might as well be sending out binary to each other in smoke signals while we bang two rocks together to keep rhythm. It's not 1864 anymore, people!

I don't understand what the broadband speed got to do with someone being a mod?!

Looking at my router's max rate and rounding it, 50 MB down, 6 MB up, AT&T U-Verse.
But it's not even close to that good.
