Your internet speed

Dang - Comcast advertises 6Mb/s here (8 if you go with their voice service), but it looks like quite a few of you are seeing well above that. Do you have the voice service?

We have that one packaged deal. Voice, cable, and internet. I'm not sure what speed we purchased though. I remember it being a little bit better before but I'm not sure right now if someone else in the house is downloading something.

Holy crap, I think I have the fastest internet here, lol... Comcast cable, advertised 6/1.5... I think I'm getting my money's worth! I also think I'm the only person in probably a 2 mile radius with cable internet... it's only been in my area about 10 months. I could probably get a better result by turning off the TV, too...

Yes, I've got Comcast digital cable HD/DVR, voice, and internet. I think I wait on the speed of the internet backbone more than my own connection, lol.

this is the server in bermuda

and this is the most local to me

why is the one in bermuda so much more faster. i did this like 4 times so its not just a one time deal. what gives.

Well...

I have the second fastest internet here...

here's mine

man i can spend hours on this thing. its so fun to see what the speeds are around the world.

I think it's fun to check out your speed vs. other providers. I know that I'm getting a good deal - Comcast is $10/mo. cheaper than the "other" company... but over twice the speed on average.

Indeed. We live pretty far away.

We are thinking about getting internet through dish network--but im sure it will lose signal whenever it rains or anything like it does with our dish--but still better than dial up, and at $50/month plus $25ish to keep AOL (its not up to me to keep aol by the way.....) its pretty expensive.
Anyone else have dish internet?

I've used sat-internet before. Download speeds are great, but uploads are slower than dial-up, and there is a slight, but noticable delay between the time you click a link, and the time it starts to load.

Nope, internet only. I barely use my cell phone so a landline is useless. I think it's $30 for basic cable these days in the city. My g/f pays like $30 and she gets some cable channels but none of them like TNT, USA, TBS. I think to get the normal cable channels it's $50. My relatives pay $80 for a digital package to get some HD channels. I don't watch enough TV to warrant another $30 added to the bill. $64 is plenty for internet a month!

To whoever gave me negative rep about my internet speed and wrote

"Absolutely abnoxious. Try contributing (for once).":

I apologize.
Actually i'm not sorry at all,
But im just sorry people can't see the lighter side of some things.
I guess next time someone wants to know the internet speeds of others-i'll just keep on scrolling by (at dial up speeds )
Loosen up-life is too short to care what others think.

Thanks for the info!
That is interesting how upload speeds can be even SLOWER than dial up, apparently its POSSIBLE! Wow!
But i do mostly downloading, not much uploading. So i guess its not a big deal. I do hope we end up getting this, i mean $49 a month is a bad price, but i'm not sure what normal DSL prices are either so i don't really have much to compare to.

I had a dream I had DSL recently......and then kermit the frog walked into my room while i was on MF and said "You wish Tanner" and slapped me and i woke up.
lol.
Don't know what to make of that.........since when was Kermit the frog evil in dreams? But he is right-i do wish. The dream was nice while it lasted....... Good day.

cwa - i had digital phone for a bit, but it was just to expensive to keep. now just the internet modem and digital cable/dvr. oh and two TVs that still just hook up tp the coax (no box).

Oops.. see below.
