What's your BroadBand speed?

Just a little poll to find out how the BroadBand situation is among AI members.

You didn´t hav my option: ridiculous high.

Last time I checked it was around 8-9 mbit/s.

$8/month. Would have been cheaper if the dollar wasn´t so weak at the moment.

Well, I'd say "around 8-9 mbit" is "> 2 mbit" isn't it ?

Is there an easy way to figure out eactly what you connection speed is? I am on a cable modem but I often wonder exactly how fast my connection actually is.

mine? i still don't know. the neighbors connection is damn fast, does that count if i use their bandwidth?

mrmister · May 6, 2003 3:50PM

Okay, I'll bite: where is that available, Anders?

shawnpatrickjoyce · May 6, 2003 4:01PM

812kbps apparently

EDIT: Now it says 1.4mbps.....

xionja · May 6, 2003 5:40PM

mines so bad, the webpage doesnt even list the speed.

and we pay 40 dollars a month.

evilly controlled market here in ithaca.

ast3r3x · May 6, 2003 5:41PM

haha i went through several and the one said 81,600kbps haha u should have see the chart...funniest thing ever

chilleymac · May 6, 2003 5:57PM

Mine said 2.7mb/s that's pretty fast. I thought my work connection seemed slow. I was right. We have a T1 at work.

serrano · May 6, 2003 6:10PM

Oops, voted wrong. Speed tests show 3mbit.

Only 247 kbps up, I remember my dorm had 1mbit up, man, that was nice. 247 is well enough to stream a little music and play a little myth.

jante99 · May 6, 2003 9:59PM

With Roadrunner and Earthlink I get around 2.2 megabits per second - T2 speeds. Quite fast.

buonrotto · May 6, 2003 10:20PM

3mbit/s here on a cable modem.

thegelding · May 6, 2003 11:24PM

ok, here are the results of comcast cable to snow ABS to iMac FP:

i can live with it...same as a T1 line at home...so much better than 56k dial up...god i hated that...porn took way too long to download....

My apartment claims to provide a shared T1 line.... but the speed is just crapy. Just last week DoS attack launched through a Trojan virus on a tenant's computer.
