    Out of morbid curiosity, what range of up/down speeds do you guys work with, globally? Here in Brisbane, Australia, I've got decent download but comparatively terrible upload (due to severe ISP rate-limiting) http://i.imgur.com/rNF0q5A.png[^]

          88 Mbps is more than decent. I usually have 25-30 Mbps and I can work from home, have one son gaming online with his 360, and 2 netflixes all running with no issues. :laugh: But your upload is pretty terrible. I get about 6 Mbps.

              At home I have 7.5Mb down (DSL) and probably less up (I never checked it). At work I have 887Mb down and 831Mb up (I just tested it) so I am never going home again!

                Most results are quite meaningless, I get 120 D / 60 U to my own ISP (this PC connected to router through concrete wall via WIFI - wired would be higher - 1GB to the ISP). But connecting from here to say OG's ISP (Fasthosts Internet) I get about 10 - 15 each way - much more realistic usage rates as my own ISP has nothing that interests me - the rest of the world is where I look around. But the OP is correct, he has severely throttled upload. Why? Because that's Australia and that's the way it is there. (supposedly Aus has full open competition, except that Aus telecoms and it's 'independent' authorities are dominated by a govt protected telco that's about 50 years behind the rest of the world ... but to be fair they are catching up ... albeit slowly, really slowly.)

                    It so happens Frontier (the old Verizon) gave us a complimentary upgrade from 25 / 25 to 100 / 100 this morning, complete with a new router compatible with the higher speed. I do believe I see smoke coming from my browser when I surf the net. :laugh: Edit: I checked the speed: Actual upload is 98 and download is 105. Nice!

                      Back in Melbourne I get about 12 down and 1 up. It's rough. Here in Toronto I recently signed up for gigabit ethernet. I need to get onto them and give them a hard time about it because I'm only getting about 300 down / 100 up. it's really, really nice :)

                      cheers Chris Maunder

                              60D/20U Work from home and the speed is OK. Based in the UK, we're in the Lake District, rural, and about 3 miles from the Telephone Exchange and I'm still copper for 1/4mile to the street box. My friend on the other side of the street can only get 30D/12U max on a good day. There are 2 copper truck cables back to the street box 1/4 mile away. I'm one bundle and he's on the other. So I guess the quality and distance of the last 1/4 mile copper makes a big differences.

                                  Here in the countryside of Warwickshire UK, I get 31.3 Mbps download and 3.1 Mbps upload. I could double the speed by paying more, but it's good enough for me now that I'm retired.

                                    Norway here. At home I have 150 down and 25 up. Here at work I have 27.52 Mbps down and 41.16 Mbps up according to the Ookla speed test I just ran.

                                        Out of morbid curiosity, what range of up/down speeds do you guys work with, globally? Here in Brisbane, Australia, I've got decent download but comparatively terrible upload (due to severe ISP rate-limiting) http://i.imgur.com/rNF0q5A.png[^]

                                        Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A.

                                        4 Mb down, 2 Mb up, ~15 ms network latency. I work in Virginia, USA and live & work in a rural area. Connectivity is necessary for work, but for me the latency is the important number (not the down/up numbers). If I can't keep that latency low, I can't be remotely logged in to servers and writing code.

                                          1000 Mbps both directions using Google Fibre in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA (sometimes faster, sometimes slower). Fastest I ever saw was over 1200Mbps.
