How fast is your internet?

Now for some real wailing and gnashing of teeth, people should post their stats pointing to a server in or around Austin.

How the hell does Ireland have that much bandwidth available to give you 205mb/s? Or are you paying out the arse for it?

No I'm not overpaying. It's UPC, they use their own coaxial network. I have it bundled with TV and phone. I pay €80 a month but that's their top end package. I could have opted for their cheaper offers. But I thought: 'What the hell go for it.'

The potato famine wiped most of them out....

With a little help from your lot, Swoop    In any case those of us here now are the survivors. The weak links died or emigrated. Survival of the fittest.

Exactly.

With only 300 people left in Ireland, there's plenty of bandwidth to spare....now every time you meet an Englishman you can thank him profusely for your extra fast internet.

I meet one all the time. He's over every bloody day using my broadband and drinking my coffee. The English eh? Always invading other people's space!  He does pay in beer though, that's something.

Since we bought a new building last year and moved, work decided to upgrade service.  IIRC, our old place ran between 1 and 4 MB so this is a much needed improvement.

Comcast  is the provider. We pay 55 a month for 100MB/S download speed and 5-10 MB/S upload speed.

So far no issues for almost 5 years.
