What's your Internet Speed?

[NICK ADSL UK]

i may get lucky soon to trial 100 mbps we will have to wait and see my guess is that the 40 mbps will suffice as the 100 is Mainly for business

Hello, are you from India? I sometimes get high-speed torrent connections, say 2.x MB/s, with seeders from India, is there a big difference on speed between cities?

P.S. I think it's marvellous you got 110Kbps for dial-up

Yeah I am from India. I connect to internet using my phone as a modem.:huh:

I remeber that I ever used dial-up years ago (1998-2000) and jumped into broadband from 1.5Mbps, 8Mbps (shared), 25Mbps to 100Mbps (present).

However, I think it's enough for me (you know, there are 1Gbps plans here and it's theoratical, surely) and I don't plan to get higher speed. It's no need or it cannot make use of full bandwidth 99% of time! It's only a number game...

I will also jump to broadband in 2-3 years. The dial-up is really slow and it sometimes sucks.

But why is your ping so high? how important is ping anyway

 

[StalkeR]

Ping is not so high. 23 is normal. ATM I have a lot of ping..

I use dial-up on the 56K modem, so putting an image up would be pretty much useless.
I bet you guys don't get many dial up users, do you?

Just updated by internet service.

I had up to 20 Mb/s Download and up to 5 Mb/s Upload before, but now it's 50 Mb/s Download and 2 Mb/s Upload for half the price.

I just can't go over 50 GB of usage per month now when it use to be unlimited. I currently only average between 20 to 30 GB a month though. Luckily anything downloaded/uploaded between 12AM and 8AM does not count towards the usage.

 

[StalkeR]

Woho.. Nice connection Shawn. I just don't know why people from other countries have slow upload speed. If I had that speed I'll need more that 300GB traffic.

 

[Brink]

It is tempting to download that much.

Guys, as I said before, ISP in my city can provide customers 1000Mbps FTTH residential service plans, here it is...

P.S. This test is done by my friend. He pays HK$158/month and I pay HK$99/month but the price varies by district as I know

you are making us embarrassed now it looks like rest of us are living in stone age

 

[Maxxwire]

P.S. This test is done by my friend. He pays HK$158/month.

What makes it even worse is that is the equivalent of US$20.33/month for these amazingly fast download and upload speeds!

[tkrojam]

Just quote a reference, this is the official page of my ISP and it's lucky they always give you a special offer if you actively query for a lower price:

@Maxxwire, the low price is the cause-and-effect by the aggressive competition among ISPs, they have recently announced a new round of price-down actions will be started soon

Could you possibly export some of that aggressive ISP competition to the United States where the our ISP's have mutually agreed to charge as much as they can possibly get away with for bandwidths that are a fraction of what you folks have there in Hong Kong?

I find your federal policies just state the target of getting speed of every residential line to be averagely 100Mbps as a long-term goal. I suppose the present uneven situations will be improved in the coming years if your President also concerns on the lag of Internet development between US and the Asian countries. You know, the proportion of broadband popularity in both South Korea and Japan are at the top of the world!
