Good grief!!

When I look at some of the speeds posted here, you would think I lived in some backward Third World country (possibly I do!).

Here in the UK, unless you are served by some small community local cable network (few and far between) or Virgin Cable (only in city areas) you have to rely on British Telecom's archaic attitude of serving up the telephone system via a network of the thinnest and cheapest copper cables up the oldest wood poles they can find.

The result is the best that can be achieved from a max of 8Mb/s is around 4-5Mb/s.

In practice, I average around 100kb/s. Combination of oversubscribed area and a bad router, since it tends to get worse in the night, speedtest drops as low as 5mbit (or lower) and downloads crawl.

Well Australia is finally progressing (or at least my ISP, Internode, is). I used to get 10GB per month with a 1500/256kb/s plan for $50 per month. Now I'm getting 50GB with the same speeds for the same price from the same ISP! My ISP is also building their own DSLAM near where I live so I will finally be on ADSL2+ (for no extra charge per month). So I should then be getting up to 24mb/s DL and 1mb/s UL. Probably more like about 15mb/s DL though as I'm about 2 kilometers from the exchange.

Soon i will get a 50MB Download - 10 Upload ADSL2 or ADSL3 connection

Looking at the results above, I guess my home connection doesn't score too bad:



PS. Yeah, I know, I'm bored

Yes, I knew it!! I do live in a Third World country after all. 

The UK comes 25th out of 66 countries when it comes to download speeds. Anyone thinking otherwise would do well to read this article from the BBC.

Verizon upgraded me when I renewed FiOS. Not as fast as others here, but certainly good enough for me

I just thought it could be interesting if we compared internet connections. If you want to post your speed in this thread, please post using http://www.speedtest.net/ and copy-pasting the forum link. Thanks.

This is what I am getting with an AT&T DSL modem.

They upgraded the cables in the street. It nudged my downstream up a bit. Yay!
