What's your Internet Speed?
« on: May 15, 2012, 11:33:56 AM »
I used to have 6 MBPS, then I got a new provider (Verizon) and now the best they can offer is 1 MBPS...If someone is on "netflix" then it goes down to below 0.50 MBPS...  :bhead
Talked to some squaddies and they said they had like 8, 10, 11, 15, ETC.  :(  :mad:

Not Fios right? I have Fios and my highest dl speed was around 4MB/sec. Depending on what server I'm downloading from, it can be as low as 100kb/sec or 4MB/sec. Steady internet, very rare when I lose a connection, though when I do (like once every 5 months) I just restart the router and problem is solved. I know Fios can handle more than 4MB/sec though. I can download and play online games at the same time without lag, so if it wasn't for the servers, I could probably get 15+MB/sec.

We've got DSL from Sasktel which is 2.5mbit/s down and 1.0 mbits up.  We've just ordered Shaw (cable here) with 250megabits down 15mbitsup.  With DSL I can get 500kps download max, but with the Shaw that they demo'd at our home for us, I should get ten to twenty times that.  It's 120 dollars a month or so, but well worth the insane speeds for what I want to use it for.  Canada has very cheap internet.  That's with no download limit as well for the dsl, and 1000 gig per month limit on the Shaw system, which I'll never touch, as I don't download 33 gigs a day, I'll only need a tenth that I'm sure.
