Claimed is 20mb down and 5mb up. I get close but uploads are kind of sketchy. Downloads are always contant though.

ummm... yeah... most the stinking servers on speedtest don't even reach my speed.  Bonded DOCSIS 3.0 FTW.  Love Charter.  Can't wait for 100 down coming in 2011.

I get regular download speeds of 80 kbs...my area is terrible and I can't get much better then that. The only good things about my internet is that it's cheap and I have no download cap.

 

It doesn't stop me from downloading though!

I am in the Yukon and here we only have one ISP short of satelite, Northwestel.   Here we have the second fastest cable package, it says 16 mb/s down and 0.75 mb/s up but realistically its aproxemetly 12 mb/s down and 0.5 mb/s up. Furthermore we have a "limit" of 60gb at $10/gb after that. We pay $83 a month! In their defense they cover 33% of Canada (by area) but only 0.0033% the population, serving nearly 100 comunities with half of them on satelite internet.  But by far the worst part of their internet is that there is only one fiber optic cable running down to central Canada, it runs right through the oil sands so anywere from once to 6 times a month the cable get cut and no credit or debit cards work for all of northern canada until they get the satelites online. Once they do the speed is 0.001 mb/s if that! All I can say is that im glad I dont live in Iqaluit were the top package is $120/month and its 1.5mb/s down and 0.4mb/s up with a 10gb "limit" at $25/gb after that!

I pay for 12Mb and get 4-5 on a good day.  During peak hours drops down to less than 1Mb.  When this happens TV goes with it.  ~$100/month for crap service for internet and TV.  Have had all equipment and cable replaced up to amp behind my house no change.  The tech has been out at least a dozen times but there is nothing else he can do on my end.

Road Runner Lightning from Brighthouse Networks in Florida's Space Coast.

40 Mb/s down and 5 Mb/s up. THE fastest service available in the area, by far.

AT&T is the only other option in the area, and their fastest U-Verse speed is something like 20 Mb/s down and ??? Mb/s up. You also have to have a contract with AT&T.

No contracts with brighthouse, no throttling, no download caps.

But it is $75/month, just for lightning internet service. Totally worth it though.

Here on campus in Green Bay, we get 10 up and 10 down (only on nights and weekends).  yes i know, crazy upload!  but its true.  gaming really sucks though cause the NAT is restricted, its a huge problem for everyone here, everyone complains about it.

Got comcast.   20 down, 10 up.  can't complain.

Now if I can get some money to fix my rig so I can do more than surf.  games and even flash movies tax my system and cause BSOD.  This was caused by a faulty vid card.  The card was replaced but the overheating card borked my MoBo so it still has issues.  Still waiting for a job so I can fix this.

Yes! I beat China! Take that! A country that is mostly rural but with some really large industrial hubs. I do however get sadly beaten by the world standard. I am located 25 miles from Seattle that may very well have a seriously good connectivity standard. I'm a loser. But I am better than all of China - YES!

Time Warner cable, Cleveland OH. Usually about 2-3Mb down and 0.49Mb up.

When I first got this, it was regularly 6-7Mb down, its always been 0.5Mb up. So that tells me the 'up' side is an in-built tech limitation, and the down side they are now capping. Incidentally, the FCC now class broadband as >3Mb, so technically they are no longer even supporting broadband. Worse, at peak times in evenings, the whole system slows to a crawl, often with long gaps and delays. So not only are they capping, at peak times, they don't have the bandwidth either, and its clear they are doing nothing to upgrade it. They advertise this as $50/mo. It's a complete ripoff.

I am seriously thinking of changing to AT&T U-verse. According to them, they have dedicated lines back to the head end, which has much higher capacity. I can get 7Mb from them or TWC, but I'm thinking that U-verse might be more stable. Having those slowdowns at peak times is just a catastrophe for the online games I play.

I live in a town of 700 out in the middle of the cornfields of Illinois. The nearst population center of any size is over 40 miles away. We can't get cable or DSL, but our wireless (not wireless phone service) internet service is excellent. It is somewhat expensive at $49.95 at month for 2 mbps but the only other options are satellite (yuch) or dial-up (triple yuch) so our ISP has quite a monopoly.

Most of my computer work is MS Office, doing online research, email, and occasional downloads. I do use one application for research that is cloud connected and receives/sends frequent updates, some of them quite large. But I don't have any problems with the speed and notice no hindrance to my work when updates are being exchanged. Our ISP does not restrict or limit the amount of data we can download in any way so that is a plus given what other providers do.

With Rogers (Toronto) according to Speedtest and Rogers' own test site.

This is odd, because my Express Plan should top out at 10 Mbps and I'm getting ratings closer to their Extreme Plan.

That said, that may have something to do with a phonecall I had with their Customer Relations (read Retentions) Department last week, where I mused on the idea of scrapping my wired home Internet (used at home on my notebook) with them for an 'unlimited' Data Stick Plan with WIND at less than their wired or own data stick plans. At the time, they were suddenly able to 'discover' a discount I could have applied if I stay with them - from $46.99 + $3 modem charge + taxes to $37, all in. Could be the CSR quietly boosted the speed (to Extreme @ $59.99) as a further incentive?

Consistently 6.75-7.0 up, 1.0-1.09 down according to Speakeasy, no matter what city I select.  Yes, I'm capped.

Have to use the Arris Touchstone cable modem because of the bundled phone/cable package; I'd probably go faster with my trusty old Surfboard SB5100.

I'm using FiOS as well (NY). The download speed is accurate but the upload speed is a little off. I've never been able to measure my upload speed accurately with any online test. From torrenting and using a network meter gadget I found my max sustainable download is 3.85 MB/s (30 Mbps) and my max upload is 3.0 MB/s (24 Mbps).

According to Speed Matters I get 11.7 down, 2.8 up.  Using Speedtest.net, and the server at Palo Alto, I get 12.04 down, 3.2 up.  However if I use Speedtest.net and the default SF server, I get 2.76 down, 3.22 up, so you have to take this stuff with a boat load of salt.  Speakeasy Speed Test shows 11.89 down and 3.23 up, so most speed tests agree.

I think that a few folks swapped download and upload time.  Typically, download times are faster than upload times.

Looks like I forgot to add that I have Comcast in Santa Rosa, CA

I called comcast and Qwest and asked if there was anything faster. Comcast told me sorry can not help you and Qwest say they are working on it. It has been 2 years with no upgrade in speed. It sucks and only 8 min away my friend has 20 Mbps down!

They also have slower and faster connection, from dial-up to 100Mbps. The only issue I have is the bandwidth cap.
