I have offically lost trac of how many times this question has been asked :D but hey whatever,, I am a loser with dial-up the cable and DSL providors in my area are too expensive and they suck. That is ok though in a little while I will be enjoying the use of Fiber that is if the city decideds to pay the like 56million in taxes to install it, Well its mine and like 20 other cities.

BigPond Cable
10mbit downstream / 128kbps upstream

Nice and fast for me :)

Erm

2Mbit / 250 kBytes Downstream / 50 kBytes Upstream

SBC DSL. For $26.99 a month, I can download at 174 KB/sec and upload at 36 KB/sec. Not a bad price for such speeds.

can you tell me how much 250 kB/s down and 50 kB/s up would cost you?

Shaw@home cable internet.

not sure what the rated speeds are but i hit about 350k down on good servers, 65k up on average with a single bit-torrent running.

best bit torrent download speed was 205k a second. :D

costs $40 cdn a month i think? im not sure.... parents pay the bill. they are as adicted to high speed internet as i am. :D

WHO DOESNT enjoy having HIGH SPEED internet ^_^

i dunno.

the one advantage of canada right now, cheep high speed internet(in my area anyway) due to intense competition between the cable provider and the DSL provider.

cable provider is offering a new higher speed service actually. 5 megabits down, 1 megabit up. for $10 a month more than a standard connection.

i THINK current connection is rated at 2 megabits down, .5 megabits up. im no certain.

tele-fragd must be paying a big bill every month i supposed. even T1 don't go that high and it's about $1k per month. but man that would be nice to have.

hey Dahz....that's one good deal that i wouldn't refuse. especially for 2Mb dl for just $10. jeez i wish i live in Canada. damn here in US or atleast California charges $50+ per month just for cable and can dl maximum only up to 1.5Mb if the connection is really good. typical dl rate is just about 300-400k.

already made a thread on this awhile back =__=

i dl at 400kb/sec

upload at 50kb/sec

wheee :D

I got 1Mbit/s (115kB/s) down and 768Kbit/s (90kB/s) up. Seems that some internet service providers give lowsy upload speeds like that 10Mbit/s down and only 128Kbit/s up.

lol...Osiris....i looked in the spam forum and didn't see it. or maybe i might have missed it. so i decided to start it. but if this thread isn't necessary then go ahead and close it.

Nah that's not quite right....as far as i know there's one issue with TV/Cable Internet which makes it not possible to have the same UP/DOWN-stream
