Mine varies a lot depending how I feel. If I am wide awake and feel good I can go 65-80. Otherwise it can be 40-60 WPM. I used to be able to maintain the 65+ more than I do now.

124 is the fastest I've been clocked at, but I generally only type at around 75 most of the time. I only type fast when I force myself to do so. Otherwise, I just don't feel the need. There's no urgency involved, so I don't bother.

Fastest I can do is around 100 wpm, but at that speed I tend to be a bit inaccurate (~85%) with my typing. Also it does depend on the keyboard - that is very important, if it's a nasty keyboard it slows up my typing.

Accurately, 70-80wpm seems to be my upper end, and that's with >95% accuracy.

If I am to stay accurate I max out around 70 WPM. Any faster than that and my paragraphs are full of jibberish.
