I've got adsl, and according to the website of my provider I have (if I would buy it today) 20 Mbit/s downloading and 1024 Kbit/s uploading. That's probably what I've got. I was wondering if I could measure the actual speed instead of what my provider tells me. |
Goto http://dslreports.com and play around in the test area. You can test you actual connection speed with this website. Lots of fun!

256 kbps up&down aswell, so I have a transfer rate around 30 K/sec. And it still rocks here.

Dial-Up. The only DSL provider here is Verizon but aparently I live too far from the box, and Cable providers waaay too expensive even for the min speed. There is also Sat providers but even more expensive and well living were I live the weather is predictable (rain). |

I have adelphia cable. I'm supposed to get 6MBS down and 720kbs up. Which equals 750KB downloading and 90 uploading. But I've been having some problems lately where I can only get 1.5 mbs down and the full up. Trying to figure it out. My friend was having the problem but he kept calling thema nd bugging them and they finally fixed it. So I think they are intentionally limiting peoples bandwidth. I'll hopefullyf igure this out soon.

I'm using Telekom Malaysia's Streamyx broadband service on a 512Kbps connection, and I thank my lucky stars that I'm not plagued with numerous connection problems that I've heard from others before.

I was origianlly a "Road Runner" subscriber, but when I started my Quixtar business they give you a great deal on "Earthlink".
I did the research and they both run off the time warner cable lines. I was concerned with that because when I would run a bandwidth test on one of thos test sites it always came back with an "awesome" rating.
The speed is exactly the same and I am saving a bunch of money. (kinda like the whole car insurcance thing, but I switched from progressive to Responce and cut that bill in half!)
I reccomend checking into Earthlink if it's avalable in your area. And if you want info on getting the discounts on it through Quixtar, let me know!

I've got broadband, but at a speed of 256 kbps. Its good enough for me, anyway. Most of my friends have got 64 kbps connections.
