What's your internet connection?

[N9ne]

I'm on a LAN Cable Modem; I'm in UK and I'm on NTL, the 512kb/s connection one (might upgrade to the 1MB connection one soon )

So what about you?

I must say if any of you really use the internet a lot and it's important usage for you, broadband is the way to go!

Also, what's your highest ever download speed?

Mine would have to be 290kb/s which happened yesterday

[Jake Bunce]

SBC Global DSL, PPPoe

max download speed: 1.4Mbps
max upload speed: 110Kbps

[rockergrrl]

US - Verizon - DSL

max download speed: 1.5Mbps
max upload speed: 128Kbps (but I can get up to 140Kbps for some reason)

$60/month

1 mb up/down

French public DSL service :

512k Down
128k Up

about 30$/mo

Cable, 1.5m down / 512k up => $60 a month

Upgrading to 3m down / 1.5m up soon tho

You got 290Kbps on a 512k connection? You sure? Mine maxes out at about 300 and it's rated at 3 times faster than yours...

[jrwap]

US - Sprint non-business DSL

1.5-1.7 Mbps Down

385kbps UP

Pay about $100 including long distance service.

When I had DSL I was paying $200 a month (between the telco and the ISP) for 1.5m up/down...Of course I had the business service so it had an SLA behind it which kind of factored into the price

[nuno]

Cable
640 Kbps Down
128 Kbps Up
$35 monthly

Midcontinent Communications Cable

Not sure what the max up/down speeds are, but the max I've ever got downloading was ~500k/sec from a website. I got 2mb/sec from an ftp once downloading a demo of some game...

I'm very sure that figure would be in the intial burst of your download, and not a consistant speed unless you were downloading a large text file or something which would account for compression. I know many people who use the same service as you on NTL - and that speed is not achiveable from their standard serivce.

I use BT Openworld (yuk) ADSL 512/256 at home

and Telewest Blue Yonder 2048/256 at work.

I have 1 384k/SDSL up and down speeds are the same $210 a month, same day service if line goes down, or if equipment coughs up

at my hosting facility i have an 3 OC12 lines, im not even gonna dare myself to confess to what the monthly fee is, but if that line goes down, its sla s backed by a 30min downtime

[DirectPixel]

I'm on cable here... capped at 2.5MB down, 256K up.
