How fast is your Internet?

currently 6.5 down and 4.8 up but it's 11am on a Wednesday morning & the heavy users on my local tower on the ISPs network are not home. :) I get about 4 and 1ish between 5p and midnight. I think the advertised max download speed in my area of the network is only 10.

I have wireless broadband from a local company and had to have a 50ft pole put on my property just to be able to pick up their signal. And we have data limits too. I think ours is 100GB. We've never some close despite my husband power watching old shows on Netflix & Amazon all the time.

It's better than Hughesnet which is my only other option. :(

Not very fast!! :D Currently 2.17 up and 0.45 down. And forget trying to do two things at once - I was watching Netflix, but had to pause it to be able to download a ct kit :p Unfortunately it's the best we can get in our area, and we at least have unlimited internet - which is a recent development round here!
 
Just tested, and our Fios speed is 15 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up. We can have 2 people using Netflix and others still able to use the Internet, so it's good enough for us. I feel like we pay way too much for it, but there doesn't seem to be a better option. All the providers want to bundle services, and our experience has been that if we refuse to tie tv to the bundle (DH has DirectTV and won't switch) we can't get good internet or internet/phone rates.
 
Husband cut our cable out so I lost my fast internet. Now we have Dish for tv and UVerse for internet. Only problem is that it's not "real" u-verse. Its some sort of DSL line so the max is 6 down and .7 up. And for some reason my outside lines/cables/wires in the area aren't that great so I have direct phone numbers to 3 different techs and 2 supervisors to call out when my internet goes down. After about 3 weeks of constantly calling, 2 senior techs seemed to have cleaned things up.
 
Been on fibre for a year now and it's really nice.

I did the test twice, in the evening it was 30 up, 30 down, now in the morning it's 41 up, 46 down. Being me, I can't remember how much it should be, but I think 50.
 
Got fibre yesterday! It is faster for sure. Not quite what I thought though -- it's actually 15 mbps download and 10 upload. (Apparently, my fibre tv uses 10 mbps download which was not very evident in the marketing materials.)
 
I seem to be addicted to this thread, lol :D I just tried the test at work and we are at 57 download and 71 upload -- not bad!
 
70.78 down, 22 up - that's the fastest package offered by my cable provider. I didn't realize how fast it was until I was at my sister's last week, and hers was SO much slower, even though she's on AT&T.
 
I only have Comcast's performance package, which states download speeds of 25Mbps. However I average 39 Mbps download, so I'm happy with that.
 
Download 0.1 mbps
Upload0.14 mbps

The worst part is that it works in waves and quits in waves. We try to stream music through our Sonos system and it only works half of the time.

These are bad numbers right? Like we should be calling the provider to complain?
 
We've got Fios... DH works for Verizon, so we get a discount, and I think our speeds are regularly higher than we purchase. Sometimes, I surprised how fast I can DL/UL. We pay for 50/50, but I think we get 75/75. They over over 150/150 in our area - crazy fast!
 
...I want to cry. We are at 3Mbps. Which is average 'round these parts.

A photographer friend of mine pays premium for--wait for it--10Mbps.

When the hubs and I were vacationing in Bangkok, we enjoyed 30Mbps in our hotel. It was heaven to stream videos! :D
