Re: What's your internet speed?

*sigh* The US is so far behind when it comes to broadband. hmm

But quick question: Is Mb/s megabits per second, or megabytes per second?

It's megabit.  Look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units it should answer your question.  wink

To the US at random:

Closer to home:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/928079828.png

We are paying 160$ (Argentinian pesos) a month for cable and 3MB Internet connection - about US $40/month

And we may be loosing it.  BIG anti Fibertel move from the government here.  Hope it works out for the best.
A friend uses TeleCentro, he hates Fibertel, and it's cheaper but we can't get it here.  mad

EDIT:  The US is NOT behind ... this is behind!

Compared to my other test on that older thread, I'm getting worse. Thanks Comcast!
I think my internet runs me about $40 a month. hmm

For such a small and wealthy country you'd think that GB would have some decent internet speeds!

Re: What's your internet speed?

Internet connection prices become over-expensive here, I don't know why! In Egypt, I used to pay 8$/month (45 pounds) to get a 25 MB/s! big_smile

I can only dream of speeds like that -- these last two years I was paying AT&T 30USD month for 1.61mBs.  My recent upgrade to Time-Warner's Road Runner is a big difference [for less money] but nothing like some I've seen posted here.  OTOH there's a new member here who's thrilled to finally get a dial-up modem!

I finally moved, so no more Dial up for me, even though I will miss the excuse to go to the coffee shop and download stuff there... It isn't the 30mbps advertised, but it feels like a rocketship to me!

Downloading/Seeding some torrents so I am sure that hurts.

Your upload is faster than my download. So you'll have this "Welcome to #! Forums" sucked out of my computer as soon as I hit [Send]  big_smile

And your download .... look at a file and think "download" and as your finger clicks on the mouse a window pops up saying:

Download complete!

200Mb/s - why that is just scandalous! --->> Send me 10 or 15 of those would ya.  lol

Again - welcome to #!

Do you even reach those speeds when downloading updates or anything? Im starting to drool at the thought of downloading at ~22MB/s.

I get 170-180Mbps from debian/other major distro mirrors. So netinstall and updating is really fast. Same speeds from webservers in finnish net backbone, funet. Other than that downloads drop to 100-150mbps. There aren't many web servers that can serve 200M connection at full speed.

Not brilliant but about the best I'll get considering the distance from the exchange over BT's ancient copper.
