Im glad I have a decent upload speed. It helps when uploading to forums.

 

[StalkeR]

My connection is disappointing at the moment

getting rid of Comcast internet and switching to FIOS was one of the best decisions I have made

Man, when I can afford the bills I am upgrading my internet



And this speed gets better or worse throughout the day, apparently depending on how many people are using telephone lines :sarc:

EDIT: That is the nearest server to me. Check out one from New Zealand!

For 90 bucks a month I would expect more.

Oh i'm sorry, the 50Mpbs package is 139.95 a month, the basic service is 64.99 if you don't count those lame bill back options. I assume your only paying for the standard, if your getting a better deal then good for you. The price just seems kind of high to me considering I'm already getting over 25Mbps for 40 a month. They still don't have this service in my area.

FIOS is new in my area (had it maybe 3 months) the highest speed they offered was 35/35 so the bottom line is I was getting phone, internet, TV from Comcast cost me around 180$ before taxes and phone, internet, TV, and wireless is costing me around 195$ before taxes. So for around 20$ more a month with more HD and better internet I went with FIOS. If in 2 years Comcast offers me a better deal I'll go with them it makes no difference to me.

Competiton is good so keep an eye out when FIOS is offered in you area because that is the best time to get a good deal

Yeah, mi Internet sucks

Think you'd get better results if you tested to a closer or a local server? 1,950 miles is a long distance for data to travel..

Here you go!

New server, actually the one that is like, 2 ~ 4 miles away from my house... Exactly the same DL/UL speeds, only higher PING :huh:

I am aware that i only have a 1MB internet service so i can't complain haha

 

[gzt7d8]

Just got Channel Bonding today in mid Michigan, and my provider, Charter, moved me up to Ultra 60, how sweet!

New T3 lines are pricey but worth it

 

[kado897]

Not bad as I only pay for 10.

 

[kneel]

In ohio, the ISP we kinda "have" to use, increased our speeds and didn't increase our bill....lol....surprising huh?

It was 10 mb DL for like 60 a month, and 5 for 35 a month. Now, those of us that had 5 went up to 10, and the 10 went to 20.....I think. My brother has the fastest one we can get, and speedtest.net almost hit 20 with it.

I still cannot believe some of the speeds I'm seeing. Like, some right in PA, just a few miles from me. (The PA boarder is a 1/2 hour from where I am) and I HOPE the speeds are making their way over to MEEEEE!!!!

THATS THE PROBLEM WITH BROADBAND SERVICE IN THE USA!!!

WE WOULD NEVER STAND FOR THE GROCERY STORE SELLING US "UP TO A DOZEN" EGGS. Yet, we accept this pricing strategy from our telecoms and ISPs! These ISPs spend millions lobbying in Washington, but we pay higher prices than nearly every country in the world for Broadband! And our average speeds are lower!

Our country is severly lagging behind the rest of the world in broadband speed, pricing, and penetration... Something needs to be done before we lose our tech edge!

In the UK Virgin came out best on that measure earlier this year, probably because its internet is via fiber optic cable.

 

[Lunarpancake]

Called Verizon asking to lower my monthly prices and instead they upgraded me from 15/5 to 40/30 and gave me full movie package for same price.


SWEET!
