On smaller files, (say, below 50mb in size) my speed bursts to over 20mbps. I've approached 3 megabytes per second from some servers.

It would appear that I've got y'all beat so far. I'm using Comcast cable, and it's uncapped.

Not too bad, but could be definitely better.

ewww,

There are smiles as they erode and corrupt you
Of the great expectations you could never live up to
We are lost, we are lost, we are lost

This is where the fun begins.

mind you I was torrenting something at 20 k/sec when this was done.

I pay $30-something for this DSL connection. Before I had moved my upload speed was twice as fast as the one I have now (80->40 MAX). Havent gotten around to calling the place to see exactly what service I have.
maaa!

And this one is at my mom's house. A lot better. =D

Beat my previous best by a considerable margin.

SO HOW COME YOU HAVEN'T CALLED, BUBBY? YOU TOO GOOD FOR YOUR OWN MOTHER NOW? OH BUT YOU'VE BEEN BUSY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, ALL ALONE NOW THAT YOUR FATHER'S GONE. I'LL BE FINE. YOU JUST ENJOY YOUR FREE TIME BECAUSE SOON ENOUGH I'LL BE DEAD AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY A HAIR ON YOUR LITTLE KEPPY - THAT I RAISED, MIND YOU - ABOUT ME. YOU'LL HAVE ALL THE FREE TIME YOU COULD EVER HANDLE. YOU MAY AS WELL JUST PUT THE GUN TO MY HEAD RIGHT NOW, GET IT OVER WITH, IF THIS IS THE WAY YOU THINK I DESERVE TO BE TREATED.

Well, as you can tell by the little bar at the bottom of the image, I'm using a connection provided by the college I'm going to be spending a couple of months at for the summer. Got this sucker for free.

Don't know how restricted it is yet, though.

What sort of speed would you be getting from torrents and direct downloads with a line like that?

384 Kbps for downstream, and 64 kbps for upstream. I pay $25 for this (intially it is $75, but I share the burden with some housemates). Internet in my country is a very expensive commodities sadly.

You all think you got good deals, huh? Ha! You frugal and observant shoppers have more to learn.

None of that approaches this:

Allow me to share a track from this CD. Here ya go.

No surprise. My family had ordered a 2 Mbit/s ADSL connection and we got one.

What's funny is I download at well over 100Kb/sec fairly often over this connection.

(Currently on wireless in my lab.)

Edit: Just did it 10 seconds after my post to another server and got somewhat different results.

Much better than what I was expecting, but I have noticed an improvement in my download/upload rates lately, so I guess it shouldn't be all too surprising. Still, nowhere close to CHz's god-like speeds.
