For a broadband ISP, that's decent. But for Bittorrent, you could do a lot better (trust me I know ).

Oh yeah if you use Cable, make sure to unplug your modem (from a power source) every month or so. When it powers back on, if they upped your bandwidth the modem will register it.

How long should it be unplugged for?

I'm on Bell Sympatico DSL, [not the Lite version, one of the higher ones] and we're paying ~$30/mo. We have three computers running on the connection though, and my brother's almost constantly downloading stuff via torrents, so the meter might be off by a little bit.

I've gotten myself a new ISP since the last time I posted in this thread.



I pay £25 ($50) and the service that I get now is far superior to the one that I was getting. Torrent speeds aren't too bad either, I've had in excess of 600kB/s before today.

One minute is what they recommend, I was quite surprised when the increased my speed a few days back after I did this for an unrelated reason/

This is on Free Talk Talk Broadband. (Daytime)



I can't go higher (until BT upgrade their lines) due to living 4km away from the local exchange with poor copper wiring, they turned it up to 5000kps but I kept getting disconnected, so they set me to rate adaptive which checks the line and usually I float around 3-3.5Mb. I usually get around 350kb/s during the day and faster at night.

I know there has been a fuss with Talk Talk here in the UK but once you get it set up (took ages to activate my line) and the initial connection problems fixed using the call center in friggin India, its not half bad as its FREE I get a phone bill of about £35 which includes my internet and my calls. (I was paying AOL £25/month just for my 1Mb connection before this).

Oh when will the UK catch up. Face it BT is to blame for most of this mess.

This is from my home connection using a Freeola 2MB ADSL connection.



It is what you probably expect from being in an area that can only have 2MB.

I'm gonna try this at my university computer after the holidays to see what I can get since Virgin Media told me that they would be increasing my 10MB up to 20MB in May.

This is what I get here at college .

Here are mines

I just tried a few times with places far from me, and I seem to get better speed with servers in Baku, Azerbaijan or Tashkent, Uzbekistan than with the ones in Paris, Saint Petersburg or Moscow. Orders of magnitude better, in fact. Hell, I get better results with the server in "Torshavn, Faroe Islands", and I don't even remember invading that in Hearts of Iron II Doomsday, so I'm pretty sure it's a fairly unimportant place.

Comcast just cranked up my upload speed, so I was checking it out and got these results-



So, how fast do you guys surf these so-called internets, and who is your provider?

That's how I roll. I've also got Comcast, so I wonder why our speeds are so dramatically different.

Oh wait, you live near a technologically advanced city. I live in Alabama.

Edit: For kicks, I tested on the same server sprouticus did, and --

I'm using Cable. How is this possible!?



edit: Jesus, much better:

This was in someone's ChocoJournal too, only this time Sass' connection has been beaten by only one person.

Merged with the old thread.

And here are my current results:
