Hey hey, dont confuse me :) Well I know there are two different measures for data.1012 byte = 1 kilobayt1000 byte like something = 1 kilobyte something.I think i made spelling mistakes. What I meant on my previous post is.We download with kilobytes. Do they advertise with bytes? No, then we should have divide with 1000. But advertised 1025 bps speed is equal 100 kps in actual use. Once again, Im s... read more.
8mbit/365. basically, 6mbytes down, 256kb up with the distance from the exchange.
Australia - 55gb/month download cap $125 / month (8mbit is expensive, and this family loved the internet >_> I so can't wait for adsl2 to be enabled here.)
I live in Kent, England. It goes to about 4mb because although I live opposite the BT phone exchange the providers quite crappy. and I pay £00:00 because the internet comes "free" with the phone service.
Oh and Ulimited downloads, or is it unmetered? whichever.
I live in Arizona, United States I have on average 60 kb/sec, it's advertised as like 128 or something like that, but I never get it anymore, half the time my internet is down, I hate my ISP and will be switching in a year when I finish building my new house, then i'll have like 1 mbit/sec, i'll be happy then.

Be patient, I hate my ISP too, I experienced many downtime like you too. But guess what! This is one of the best ISP (for personal usage) in my country! OMG.
2 mbps but i get 1.9-2.2 around there. Downloading speed is around 230 kb/s and uploading is around 20 kb/s so i don't know whats up with that.
Mine is meant to be 4MB/s and it is, but only for sites hosted in Brisbane. Anywhere else in Australia or the world I find loads at like a snails pace.. really weird. Downloads are generally slow too. Most of the stuff I download is from the USA or Europe so its slow to download. I am sure people in these places enjoy quicker downloads because they are downloading it from somewhere that is close. The new ALP Government were meant to introduce a high speed internet system for Australia. They were voted in like 7 months ago and nothing has been mentioned about it. Very disappointing!
I would love to have fast internet. But because Australia is a large country with spread out population, its going to be hard and expensive to install good fast internet. 
and i am proud to say that my internet speed is 18 Mbps . ha this is my speed in my college , and my college uses a LAN speed of 100 Mbps and the internet speed is 18 , so i enjoy a high speed internet in my college although it is shared . But the only sad thing is that we are behind a firewall and anyway we tunnel it by some how.
I probably shouldn't be encouraging people to just grab the speedtest image and post it here however I just wanted to share my results with you all
 I'm paying $30 USD a month and as far as I can tell I'm getting the best value for my money compared to the rest of you (not counting the ones of you who are getting it for free...)

Yeah, speedtest image provides clearer thing. But I'm just too lazy to copy and paste the link and wait for retest, hehe.. Yes, hell right! You've got the best value compare to speed. Hmm... my country's internet price is ripping! I have to pay around $100 to get 3 MBPS and that's the cheapest and unlimited personal ISP. All other ISP's price are higher. P.S. : 3 MBPS is currently fastest speed for personal usage (WTF! I hope, even once in my life I want to try high speed connection!) Latest Entries

Im opening another topic.
kb and kB are different
byte and bit 1 byte is 1 bit so 1.5mb is actually not so fast QUOTE(Janissary @ Jun 11 2008, 09:40 PM) Actully same goes with me too. I just figured it out with my connection speed. But weird, huh? Yours and mine different. Maybe you should open another topic about this. Why they advertise bigger numbers, are they talking about byts? Of course bits, I never see internet using bytes or kilobytes. Is there? QUOTE(ivantoar @ Jun 11 2008, 08:49 AM) Well I really do not have anything to say about this. Let's wait for another opinion about this. Actully same goes with me too. I just figured it out with my connection speed. But weird, huh? Yours and mine different.

Hi all,
This is my first post! I live In Spain and I´got a 20Mbit downstream and 1Mbit upstream connection. Depending on where am I connecting the download speed can up to 2MB/s. The price is 42 EUR, aproximatly 67 USD. It is planned to offer 100Mbit up/down in the following months but they keep saying it for years so I´m not sure when will be available.
