What's your Download Speed Average?
I am not part of this speed obsession cult. My DL has 500 kB/s top. I am actually paying for 1 MB/s but got the speed crippled due to wrong setting on provider side... never bothered me enough to report for 3 years now.
It has it advantages aswell. My HDDs don't fill up too fast. With higher speed I would have to buy new one every few months (I am kinda hoarder).

Wrong setting as in, you have paid for 3 years for a higher package and never had them fix it?

Exactly. It's not like I could get any cheaper (around 8 $/month) connection here and I see no point in downloading movie/game in 10 minutes instead of 20 minutes.
Am I too weird not caring about connection speed? I know, pointless question on this site :)

True, but I'd still rather get what I am paying for.
As for connection speeds, I don't honestly care how long it takes to DL something, with my limited data cap, I can only DL so much a month anyway. I can't really play competitive online games with my connection speed the way it is though. I lag like mad in games like Rocket League.

I feel your pain. Up until last year, my max was 360 kb/s. (...and I downloaded GTA V with that connection, lol)
Now I feel like I'm living the dream with 5 mb/s.

went from about 1.2 to 5 recently
its p good considering that about 2 other people are also doing stuff constantly

$85 a month with a 150GB cap, 15mbps which equates to me getting a serge when the DL starts of 1.7 MB/s, then drops to 1.3MB/s then drops again to around 600-800kb/s for the remainder

Thanks, the SS Cake Factory is visiting my port.
Yeah, I really need to get a new ISP, but where I live there are only 2 in the area. One only offers basic 10mbps service in my area, the other (the one I have) offers up to 30mbps, but that's about $105 a month

About 6 MB/s - my provider is desperate for me to pay extra for fibre and get about 17 MB/s although I don't really feel the need...

Since I live in a dorm right now it's between 100kB/s on bad days to ~25 Megabyte/s on weekends and pretty much 25MB/s up all the time.

Oh, no, not this again... right now, thanks to a free ISP upgrade, it's around 1.7-1.8 MB/s (14-14.5 Mbps), it will last until the end of June.
Afterwards, it will revert to the base plan, around 850-900 kb/s (7 Mbps). Ping usually around 25-30 ms, 45-50 ms during high-traffic days.
Price: €45/month for the base plan (including the phone line, which is mandatory with ADSL), €5/month for the (currently free) upgrade.
We're currently looking to switch to a provider with a 4G-based solution, that would cost half since it doesn't include the phone (which we don't need anyway), and should have better speeds since it's not based on decades old copper - no fiber (or whatever you call it) option here.

It once showed a speed of 3.4 Exobyte per second
sadly that wasn't true 😉

12.7MB/s is my peak according to Steam, but I know I've seen it go higher. Highest Speed Test I've done was like 160 Mbps if I recall right. Currently connected wireless though, so doesn't go over 20 Mbps (Typically 1-2MB/s Steam Download Speed). Insane how much speed is lost doing wireless, even with a good Cisco Adapter. Costs me like $75 a month for net, and price will jump in a few months to like $95. Canadian ISP's are gold diggers.

Hum... that doesn't sound possible. Even on dial-up.

well a lot of the time internet is down & when it's up is often 1kbs :( currently at the very moment though am getting like 200kbs+ steam download :o internet HYPE!
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, okay. It sounded as if you had a maximum of 1kbs. :P
Your current speed is faster than anything I ever had, but at least my connection is extremely stable.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, pretty much. Unless you live in high population areas such as the middle of the city, then you get shit internet.
Here's a funny Canadian stereotypical article.
(Fun fact, that guy still gets better speeds than I do.)
Kevin LeGris has spent 10 years trying to get a reliable high-speed internet connection at his Ottawa Valley home. He tried to fix the problem by building his own antenna with a hockey stick. (Joe Fiorino/CBC)

5-10mb. I should get that much for as much as I have to spend.

As I'm reminiscing about my poor 400KB/s max internet, I was curious what other's have.
I'm also writing this as I wait for FFXIII to finish it's 3-4 day download straight lol.
55$ a Month for 2-3 Mbps RIP
