Internet speed

[MikeTbob]

MikeTbob, can you tell me, how much you paid that ISP?
It's really fast connection (from my point of view).

In my country, I paid about $32/month for ADSL connection @384kb/s, and
the quota is 1000Mb. That's very-very expensive.

I wonder, and just want to compare the prices.

I have a bundled service plan, where I get Internet/Cable TV/Telephone, but it costs around $120. USD. altogether. So I guess somewhere around $40USD just for Internet

In my country, I paid about $32/month for ADSL connection @384kb/s, and

Indeed!!
Ok, I feel much better now, knowing I don't have a bandwidth quota. I could top 1000MB in just a few days.

Yes, I could eat whole 1000Mb in few days, but there's also unlimited quota
package, now cost about $82/month, previously it was cost $220/month !

That's a flawed poll. But I usually get about 250kb/s depending on where I'm downloading from, it's faster if I download from my own country than it is to download from say... Canada.

The advertised speed is 12 Megabits per second. In general, the speed tends to top out at about 6 Megabits per second. This costs US$50 per month.

However, I have observed speeds up to about 40 Megabits per second download speed when I first start a download from some servers, but it falls off to the 6 megabits per second speed after ten to twelve seconds.

And I can use a lot more than 1000MB quota just downloading a single distro.

At the moment I'm living in student appartment and we have 100 Mb/s connection here with no extra cost

I have a 3Mib/384Kib (down/up repectively) connection so that pretty much leaves me at 384KiB/s for ftp downloads. While you're all arguing about the difference between a Kilobit and a Kilobyte I'll throw a spanner in the works and remind you that Kilo refers to the order of magnitude 10^3, whereas binary values would be denoted using kibi - 2x10 ...

I just upgraded from my old 3 mb/s line to a 5 mb/s download (768 kb/s upload) line and so far, it's worth the extra $10 per month.

We run on 10MB up/download.
Since my dad didnt know how to setup his Torrents and it kept going slow =P
