Fastest Connection?

[atomicpower93]

ok people whats the fastest, biggest bandwith on the forum (obviously im gunna be pwned compared to the scandinavian users cos mines 8mb, but only 6.4mb comes through!!!)

[Chronos]

Could you rephrase that please?

[atomicpower93]

yeah sure, whats the connection you are paying for, eg 8mbps

[Kalub]

30$ 3.0mbps

[Mr Buckshot]

768kbps I think. We're using Telus "high-speed" internet.

[Kybo_Ren]

135 Mbps to the regular internet, 1Gbps to Internet2.
Limited by a 100mbps switch, and since the 135 mbps is 3 DS3s, I can only achieve 45mbps on each connection.

[Pooky]

It's sure as hell not mine :|

[Bodzilla]

1.5 mb/s $80 a month :downs:

No.

60 Euros = ~80$ for 360 kb/s down (getting 50kb/s download).

I won.

[Atty]

7/512 for $35

Used to run 15/2 at $55 but we lost that when we moved.

[Bodzilla]

Holly shit.

:fail:

[Syuusuke]

3mbps//768 kbps @ $30/month...more like 2.8/700, thanks Verizon.

Wow pat, that's really...really...ow
Bod, did another piece of you die?


Did I mention that my connection was really 2.8/700?

3.5mbit down (2.7mbit actual due to the awesome copper lines) and 128kbit up. Topped off with a 10gb cap for $60NZ. :-(

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I don't know what my dad is paying for the internet, but all I can say is, "he's paying a shit load of money for PoS internet in Mormon land. Every has to redownload the bible on sundays!!!!"

[Cortexian]

I supposedly get this:

But it's not true:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/192793358.png

It also dips a lot every now and then. It's not bad but I'd like a stable connection. In a perfect world I'd order this (even though the upload still stinks compared to the download):
http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsServices/Internet/Nitro/

And if I get another job I'll upgrade to:

[Kybo_Ren]

Monthly bandwidth caps? Eww... I uploaded 175GB in 3 days...

Took a few months of calling verizon and complaining until it finally stopped disconnecting randomly.:(

Damn, and I felt lucky when I got 750 kb/sec that one night. This is one of my speed tests from over the summer. Somewhere over the past few months, my connection has died. Don't know what happened.

Dude if you live in the LA area you definitely should be able to get a really high speed internet connection for pretty cheap. Level 3 and UUNet have *HUGE* backbones in LA.

[SnaFuBAR]

I was looking into FiOS, but Verizon says it's not available in my area :( I'll definitely look into these providers, though. Thanks :)

[Bodzilla]

Go snaf GO!

it's just not right to have worse internet then an Australian, i think it's illegal or some shit.
:cop:

That won't do you any good :P
They only provide >OC1 to other ISPs really. In LA I'd look at RoadRunner; they're generally decent.

[SnaFuBAR]

actually time-warner service here is pretty crap. :(

Well I live in the GTA so it'd be more practical to use the New York server.

Distance ain't no issue. :cool:

Its rated at 6000/384 I think, the rest is just powerboost. The upload is really terrible after the 5megs of powerboost turn off. 50 a month.

[atomicpower93]

Obviously i didnt win but i have around 5500k down and 400k up which i think isnt that bad considering.

[Kybo_Ren]

For everyone who has speeds above ~10 Mbit/s, you can't use the speedtest.net app as a reliable measure. Instead, do what I did and use an NDT server.

[someone]

2 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. I had to wait 2 months for it. That's the reason why I was gone up untill now.
