I was just wondering, what everyone's connection speed is? I just want to know, if my ISP is being too generous or is my connection speed the norm now?

dn: 3143 kbps
up: 350 kbps

Sometimes, I can get up to 3500 kbps. And other people in my area can get up to 4000 kpbs with my ISP.

It's not the NORM, but you can get it a lot of places now. I get 3490 down, 297 up. Others with my ISP get 6000+ dn, 768 up. They're on a higher end plan though. Small business workplace plan.

Mine said:

4452 down
353 up

But I didn't disable everything in the background. It seems pretty nice though

Most of you must have Cable. Here in Central Calif. with DSL I get 1.2Mbits down and 300 up. The down is pretty typical for California SBC Dsl. My upload is about 2x what most of my friends on DSL get. I am not far from the Central Office.
