I am ashamed of my internet
My family pays something around 150$ a month, yet we only get 7mb internet with a 160gb cap

And I pay way too much for that, too. :-?

I'm on a Verizon MiFi thing. It's not the greatest internet but I can walk around with it in my pocket and use my laptop wherever.

Poland, the most popular ISP, for a very long time a monopolist. Price-smth like 15 Euro per month

@Sledgehammer427, Torplexed: you are kidding me, right? I thought the US average is smth like Steve's, not like the outback of Poland...

[Platapus]

Download - 42.82 mb/s
Upload - 30.75 mb/s
Ping - 11 ms

But then we pay a buttload per month. But does make my artistic viewing a bit faster. :O:

[papa_smurf]

All bow to my amazing speed:

[VirtualVikingX]

25 mb/s download
45 mb/s upload
Ping 5ms

(I pay for 25/25, so fingers crossed)

349 Norwegian krones/month (Appartment complex fiber deal) Thats about US $ 60 at the current exchange rate.

[kiwi_2005]

For $36 per month., once 30gigs is used up which is rare for me, its $1 per gigabyte after that.

Download speeds usually is 400-700kbps, upload is pittiful something like 50kb

What gets me is I need a land line phone if I want the internet I don't use the phone yet im paying $52 per month phone rental, just a waste of money each month. Waits for the day where a land line is not required to have internet access.

[AVGWarhawk]

My internet runs $180.00/month but that includes a landline and TV. I'm with Verizon FIOS. I have no issues with it and shouldn't at $180.00/month. :doh:

We have the same setup with Fios. Good service but expensive, especially when The Frau insists on every single premium cable channel. :damn::damn:

Slower than 67% of GB - No sheesh.

[STEED]

Well what can I say...:damn:


http://www.speedtest.net/result/1499616736.png

Ran it seven times, the download ranged from 3.76 to 4.00 but no change on the up load, ping 48 to 50.

not too bad for my small town, it's through cable tv ....

Edit: Price is 19,90 EURO / month

[Jan Kyster]

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z15/subject_rod/SpeedTest.jpg

Price $45 per month... soon to be replaced with a fiberconnection, 15Mb/15Mb...
Comes with a new pricetag at $36 per month. So why not? :shifty:


http://www.speedtest.net/result/1495521894.pngWow! That beats the library?! :o

I'm with AT&T U-verse and that's about what I pay. $170 a month for internet, cable with 2 boxes, HD and HBO. Too damn much if you ask me. :shifty:

[Morts]

Its running kinda slow compared to earlier last month, about 30 mb/s off on the download and 40 mb/s off on the upload

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1499871635.png

[Sailor Steve]

Wow! That beats the library?! :o
I don't remember the library speeds, but they have a dedicated line of their own, so they're probably faster. On the other hand I can't go there and get online at 22:00 or get up at 04:30 and jump online like I did this morning.

I'm currently paying $35 for an interntet-only introductory plan, and will likely switch to a DSL when that expires. A little slower, a little cheaper.

Comcast here, about 25 mb\s down 4 mb\s up.

I do the same thing. DSL here is a LOT slower but it is "enough" and you gotta love the $$$ discount they offer to get you to switch. Pit them against each other. I do the same with Comcast TV and Dish.
Since I'm wired for both, it's painless to switch.

Yup, that famous Scandinavian internet! It really does put North America to shame.

In the meantime, here's the infamous Canadian internet:

And that's actually better than what I usually get, too :shifty:

[Jan Kyster]

... A little slower, a little cheaper.I would have lived happily forever with 8Mb/s, but the ISP kept upping it. :O:
You very rarely find places with higher uploadspeed anyway...

Since I'm wired for both, it's painless to switch.Yeah! DSL is more than enough.
Speaking of painless... switching ISP is certainly not - the email is (typically) bound to them. At least mine is... :shifty:
The number of places you must go to change your registered email-address is just horrible... :zzz:

Should have used gmail or alike from the start... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z15/subject_rod/smilies/badwords.gif

I had MSN Premium as my isp when I had DSL with Qwest. When Qwest and MSN went separate ways, I had the option of switching to a Qwest domain or staying with MSN Premium for an annual fee. I stayed with MSN so no matter what company feeds the internet into my puter my email stays as ****@msn.com which I can also always access at hotmail.

It is well worth the annual fee.

[Jan Kyster]

...I stayed with MSN so no matter what company feeds the internet into my puter my email stays as ****@msn.com which I can also always access at hotmail.

It is well worth the annual fee.A quick count through my favorites list says 93 websites, where my email is used for registration... :nope:



On the other hand, you pay every year.
I'll save $6 every month, get a 3Mb faster download and 15 times faster upload! :smug:

Wonder who'll win the argument? The cheap or the lazy Jan? :hmmm:

[RickC Sniper]

If you upload a lot which I don't I certainly see the attraction.

And.....did you just call me cheap?

What gave me away????
:D

[Geno_Mariner]

Epic fail

I'm leeching off mum's wifi though.... :doh: can't remember how much she's paying per month... I do hope to get my own by next year.

Some of you guys' speed test are so much better :-?

[antikristuseke]

580 seems incredibly slow, and yes, im still waiting on them to lay the damned fibre optics to my house so im stuck on this slow connection.

[Castout]

Ever wonder what third world internet is like?

http://speedtest.net/result/1508401394.png

Not too bad considering it's only less than 25 bucks for it excluding tv.

For 12 Mbps connection you need to fork 140 bucks. For 20Mbps a little more than 200 bucks a month.

Why are you testing via a London server though? :o That would explain some of that...

[antikristuseke]

Just figured I'd see what the free wifi at the bistro I'm having lunch at is like, concidering tis free, not bad at all.

No actually my sub is 1.5Mbps. I can get that even when testing through London server. Besides it's the internet. I primarily access sites worldwide. UK and US.
