What's your internet speed?

[vansmith]

This is truly humbling nbrowser. If you don't mind me asking, is this on Fibre Optic and how many of your hard earned bucks do you spend to get it?

My guess is a small fortune. The major telcos don't offer plans like that (at least in this part of the country). Rogers for instance has a 50mbps plan for $100/mo. If it isn't a small fortune, I might have to move!

Package price, $155,95 plus 12% HST per month.

You know, in the big scheme of things, your price is not a million miles away from our packages..£20GBP dearer nonetheless for all those mbps. I would hazard that all the multi-national media corps are rigging the market.

Thankfully though the company Shaw Cable, knows that someone with that kind of bandwidth is gonna share it on a LAN at home, hopefully by tomorrrow night I'll have my lil Mac Mini wired up to the LAN instead of using it's built in G wireless, so it can experience that speed when was done on my main Windows machine which is wired to the main router then to the modem via gigabit connections.

Mate...same provider as me and 8mbps less??

If I wanted to pay more money I could get a download speed of 80mb and an upload of 6mb. However, for me this speed is all I need for now.

SO much better than what I had before, as you can probably tell.

I've just moved from Cologne to Berlin so I had to leave my 64Mbit/s connection behind. Luckily...

This is the best I've had in the past 2 weeks:

First post. Hi.

 

[Chuckoir]

Woah.

Is that, fibre?

Woah.

No, it's balonium.

 

[borisdk]

I assure you it ain't balonium. New offices at work ;D

 

[darrylyoung]

Here's my new connection in my apartment in Berlin.

 

[Chuckoir]

Well, after 4 months and a switch of provider, that's helluva improvement and we're now only slower than 58% of the UK, instead of 60%. Main thing is, I'm financially better off for it.

Current speed test;
D/load = 13Mbps U/load 0.95Mbps

Ping = 67ms and Jitter 2ms

While we're at it, how do you capture and past the screen shots?

 

[Blazbo]

That didn't work either - I tried something but NFG.
