Jkay Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I pay about $50 a month in the North Eastern USA. It's a "premium" user subscription to Cox Internet. I ran a SpeedTest and here are the results. Last Result: Download Speed: 25265 kbps - (3158.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 2327 kbps - (290.9 KB/sec transfer rate) So it's at least 25 Megabit .. prolly 30. I forget. It's well-known that many countries around the World have better consumer networking than the US. I don't have Fiberoptic cable coming into my house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chudd Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 New york city, Cable internet, costs about $40 when you factor in the Cable TV cost (they are lumped together). I used to think it was fast but im not impressed anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg_r Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I'm also in the UK - Surrey but speeds here are good. We're in a village location but we're lucky in that the local exchange is very close and it's ADSL2 enabled, so we've got 20mbit down, 2.5mbit up. Paying just under £20 per month (discount deal with our cellphone provider). At work it's a lot slower, around 4mbit down / 800k up (fastest we can get - it's rather out in the boonies).

andy66 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 i get 6.5mb dl and 1.1mb ul.costs me £7.50 a month with o2 which is one of the better isp in the uk.we are like a third world country when it comes to BB in the UK.there is fibre optic BB on offer but virgin who offer it have a policy of throttleing your line. the good thing is im not fussed about DL speed,as long as its over 3mb.its my UL thats important cos i play online games and its pretty good.my ping is low aswell.

andy66 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Just a random thought. Would be interesting to know what kinda Internet access do you have @ home. Pls post your line speed and country/city. I am in Singapore and have a 100 mbps line @ home. what upload do you get on a 100mb line?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Generally downloads are in excess of 60 mbps and uploads are 5 mbps upwards (the throttle is controlled by the ISP). I don't much upload stuff....so works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblueprince Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) I live in the middle of nowhere, further from the phone exchange than Broadband/DSL is claimed to be able to work and where cable services will never be laid. My speed is measured in Kb's, not Mb's. South Korea has the fastest internet. Edited October 13, 2009 by TheBluePrince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
