I have a 160-90k connection, and even if the download ain't very fast, I can download hundreds of MB in a short time, compared to my old 56k, it makes me happy

My upload usually sucks.... i can upload at a maximum of 32 kb/s.... my download speed seems about right in this test.

Greetings,

How I want to have a broadband connection. I hate my 56k
One day I'll go :mg: because of it.
But things are hard in Brazil, and most places don't have broadband access.

Live long and prosper.

Around 32 bucks a month. We also get a free tier of cable channels too so that why my parents got cableBB instead of dsl. DSL was offering a free webcam

We pay $29 a month. It's fun having DSL on a good BT connection I finished a 175mb file in 30 mins or less.

the fastest dl I ever had was 900kb/s. It was using a 3dgamer server to dl a half-life patch. I nearly pissed myself.

Those things are pretty inaccurate if you ask me. Someone of them tell me I have a 1Mb connection, and while I sorely want to believe them, I know that my connection is 600/128kbps

Use a proper tool like DU Meter (google it) to find out your connection's capacity

How is your upload six times faster than you download? That's really weird.

Verizon offered 2 different services, One for Home and one for Business. I'm quite happy with my service
