What's your internet access type and speed?

[mrwho]

Im curious about what most of the people here have for accessing the internet.

I begin:

- At home I have cable, 60mbit download, 4mbit upload.
- At work, I believe it to be ADSL, somewhere around 6Mbit, although I don't know specifics.
-While traveling (or at a customer without net access) I have mobile broadband (the cheapest) with 2mbit download (it falls down to 128k when I reach 1Gb traffic, but it's more than enough for my mobile needs).

What about you guys?

What is this 'Internet' thing you speak of??

I've been doing this through morse code.

Yeah, I know. I've still got my old e-Pigeon for when this whole interweb thing gets turned off.

At home, I've got a 20 mb/sec cable modem.

At the office, a fractional T1, but there are so many flippin' users on it that you're doing very well if you get 2 mb/sec.

Only 8000Kbs at home, 24Mbs at work. Never get anywhere near the stated speeds. I am on a congested RIM at home so when the school kids get on at night I am somtimes reduced to little better than dialup. I wouldn't live anywhere else but our infastructure sucks ass.

I'm with you on both accounts. And ya, the office sucks donkey balls for speed....if I need a large file, which more often than not, I do, I just drive home...its on too many levels much faster that way.

If I need to download a file from KM's website I usually try to do it the night before. UGGGG Here in the State anything past 7:45am is a crawl!

We have 8Mb cable at home. fastest I have ever had out of it is 2.3Mb. Yhat day was heavenly. would love to have a faster connection but this is the fastest that can be offered in my area

[mrwho]

Guess I'm lucky, then - I went for the second-cheapest optical fiber service my provider has - they go up to 360Mb download, but it's way too expensive for me...

360Mb download!!!! that is possible? fastest I have ever used in the uk is 10Mb. fastest seen in uk is 20Mb.

[bilyahn]

360Mb what's that. The fastest I can get is DSL and download speed tops out at 154Kbps. We don't even have that speed on any of the local intranets!!!!! There are a few customers that have better setups but they are located in one of our metro areas (17K people)! Also have wireless internet but has issues when it snows, like today. Nothing in the mobile wireless range as my cell phone won't work in 70% of my service area, AT&T and Verizon say they have it, buuuuuuuuttttttttttt. HAHAHAHAHA

[mrwho]

Well, I don't want to be a dick, but apparently they even offer 1Gbps over fiber - check here, my service is the second from the left.
