Not bad considering im plugged into a network with a 10/100 backbone... :D:up:

[slaveofconvention]

The scary thing is, my cable company just called and offered me that kind of speed for at home, albeit with "only" 10mb uploads.....

lol... im just happy about the ping... tomorrow its gonna suck again, but i'll enjoy it while it lasts.

This is off a Canopy Wireless system. I've been consistently pulling 8 down/2 up for the last month now.

Best part? My account is only provisioned for 2 meg down.

Here's my slow connection. The good is that it's only $30/mo and where I live is pretty rural, so that's not so bad. Also, Frontier has no bandwidth caps, which is something I avoid based on principle alone.

As I pay for 10mb down and 1mb up, I'm fairly happy with that....

I can play Eve Online but that's about it. Can't play any Steam games online.

Yikes!

...if I were paying that much to my ISP I would be getting 50Mb/20Mb...or I could get 150/35 for $200/mo. :twisted:

You're getting C grade, and I'm getting F/D grades? How???

[dr.walrus]

grade is probably linked to the average for your location

I suppose it's ok, but I really wish they'd drop the 50MB they have been talking about lately.
