I don't know about that, I think 60$Canadian is too much for internet :( Maybe its because I only have a part time job.

$60 Canadian! crap. I'm throwing out $50 each month to get a fifth your speed. Alas, my only other real choice in my area for internet is Rogers and its not bloody likely I'll ever make that switch.

I used to have Rogers with the following numbers (from my archive):

The latency difference is very noticeable, bandwidth hasn't really been a problem.

ISP: Road Runner via Time Warner Cable for Southern Tier of NY.

Down: 5.01 megabits, which frankly is faster than I usually see - me thinks RR might be prioritizing ST packets to make them look faster...

Up: A pathetic .35 megabits

Road Runner is the biggest load of crap around, but unfortunately we are too far from the switching office to get DSL, and Verizon is taking their sweet time bringing FiOS out around here, so...

Wow! They have changed their site since last I laid eyes on it.

34ms ping
6.1mb down
1.4mb up
distance ~ 150mi

for some reason my upload speed is higher than my download speed don't know why. perhaps because of all the " torrenting " going on at this hour.

This is peak time right now in my area.

ps: i did another test earlier this past year directly (without using my wireless connection)

heres the result

If your transferring other files in the background you won't get accurate results. Also, if you are using a torrent client or a proxy, you also might not get accurate results.

The UK cable giant Sky. If you could maintain a consistent connection it would be alright, however everyday without fail at 5:p.m. to about 9 p.m. it comes to a crawl and sometimes fails completely. To many people sharing the pipe. Good thing it is cheap though, an 8mb connection for 5 pounds a month. That is about 8 Canadian dollars.

Microwave based backup in case of major failure of Comcast at the Studio

I'd test it at home, but the Death Star (AT&T) has sync issues any time the ground gets wet. I'm 1 block from the DSLAM and 1 mile from the CO, so it's usually the same as the microwave backup at the studio.

I'm on a Centurytel DSL connection. These speeds are interesting because I'm only paying for a 256K connection, but I'm getting about 512K. There was one day when my download speeds did magically double.

I wish I had some of the downloads listed by others. Downloads in excess of 20 Mbps. Hot Damn!

I switched last year from optimum online (very fast, but not very reliable) to Fios.

As you can see it isn't the fastest speed around, but we get exactly the speed we pay for and it has never gone down. The reliability is worth the drop in speed if you ask me. The one thing I do miss is the 10mbit connection I had in college that allowed 10mbit up as well as down. That meant I could stream TV shows to my laptop before class on host my own web server.

My ISP provides up to 7mb service, but they say that my phone line is of marginal quality for even a voice signal. Qwest owns the lines and refuses to upgrade because the voice signal comes through, so I'm stuck with this crappy slow stuff.

When I first upgraded to this from dialup it was amazing. Now I find myself bitter that it's not faster.
