I just got cable and man is this thing fast.

you on the new opium online stuff gsurface??
lucky new yorkers....
Got CharterDigital cable 1.5/256k package...but all accounts are uncapped till March or soemthing (since last october) so download peaks around 3mb, and upload 256k.

Damn, I am still stuck with 56K for a week or two, but then I will get DSL 2048/256K

I'm stuck with a 64K connection at home.
I used to have a 2Mbit connection in the past.
Ah yes, those were the days (reminiscing).

stuck on dial up ...comcast jus up-ed theirs from 1.5 to 3mb/256up ...if i can afford it i'll get it myself.

You mean Optimum, not Opium, really guys, hes its a typo im not on Opium anymore, . I get about 4mbs Down and sometimes more, up is nearly 1mbs.

Shared T1, I just plug my PCs to a RJ-45 wall socket. Or to be more precise, I plug them to my hub which goes to wall socket.

Yeah, Sure G lol

Me, I use a pringles can! lol

check it G, i don't know why you don't go as fast as me we live so close

*Edit~
is you cable connected directly or is it split. That will improve/degrade connection speeds....

I dont understand, We live like 10 minutes away and you get faster downloads. Same service. The cable isn't split its connected directly.

people leachin ur connection in ur neighbor hood...the downfall of cable...if ur the only one who has it its great..

i live in the past, according to those readings .....
i have 768Kbps down and 96Kbps up
it will take time till good i-net connection will reach Israel

I think im one of the first to get it around here actually. cause it just become available in this area.

hahaha people leeching your bandwith with cable...YES this does happen..but how the fricken F can you complain with still 6.6mb download???? haha wow yeah its not 10mb..but 6.6 mb?? lol what kindda server you transfering files from that can actually shoot you the file faster

im lucky i guess, i have had cable for almost 7 months now and its still sweet, downloading files at 1-1.4..etc..
6.6 is really good but i get 10.8 and /g ur being "robbed" lol of almost 500kkbps

yea.. i can prolly smoke ya'll with my ultrafast 56K!

6Mbps ADSL(but 512kbps upload )
later will be register 24Mbps VDSL(Upload and download speed same)

Where do you live, who is your isp? Ive heard about VDSL, but I never knew you can get such high speeds in ADSL, Do yo own a CO or live next to one?

i live in hong kong.
my isp is netvigator.com

later will register hgc.com.hk boardband at another location for beta leecher

Nice, you can get fiber to the home, sooo lucky.

Not afraid to say... 28.8k sometimes lower then that 24.4k

i'm t-25 runing 1GB per second smoke that.............ok maybe not, i'm still ultra fast cable:)

I don't think there is a t-25.

no crap. i made it up. it was a joke. haha

Well I have SBC/Yahoo DSL and I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to check my monthly bandwidth. I've been told that most ISP's tell you on their site and SBC would seem like they would but I'm not seeing anything. Anyone know?

I got 384k to 1.5mb but I only get an average of 40kps.

HEY I'M NOT A N00BIE ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

I'm not sure what you're thinkin alex but so no one else gets confused its not my speed I want, its the bandwidth I'm using.

too slow
(6Mbps ADSL connection)

They limit the amount of bandwidth you use?

@Wiseman

Are you sure that you have 6Mbs DSL line? If so, run this test on dslreports to see if you can tweak your RWIN and increase your speed http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks

1 megabits per second

i founded that is completely wrong
other HGC boardband user said if you browse overseas website,it will slow as hell,even slower than 56K
lucky i still haven't register that boardband

Some people have been telling me they are limited on their monthly bandwidth, so I was just wondering if anyone knew if SBC did it. I don't think they do because I've been looking and have found nothing.
