Internet Speeds

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.

Lousy network we have here... results in "Page not found"... Grrrr this is why we can't have nice things!

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.

I'm at 40D/20U using CenturyLink DSL in Spokane WA. I could probably go faster if I wanted but the added expense isn't justifiable. The speed is enough, consistent and reliable. The downside with them is they block various TCP ports so it's a bit of a pain for me to run the servers I want on my internal network. Had to play some games to move my email server internal but finally got it working. At my old house in south eastern WA state I had Spectrum internet and got ~60D/30U and all TCP ports were wide open for me to do with as I pleased, plus in 3 years of using their service the IP address never changed. Guess I got a bit spoiled, unfortunately Spectrum doesn't offer service in Spokane. :(

Here at the office it is 367D / 745U [Speedtest.net by Ookla - My Results](http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/6415768527). First time my upload has ever been faster than download. These speeds are necessary because almost all our servers are on AWS. And still it isn't fast enough. I've got 100Mbit fiber at the house, but I haven't checked my speed there in a while.

If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Down73.09 Mbps, up 6.83 Mbps, and I was promised more. I started with a 300 baud modem. So I should be grateful. Right. Grateful.

226 Down 12 Up (!) Ping 26 ms In Andover, Minnesota (suburban Twin Cities). I suspect the disparity in up/down speeds is typical of internet service over a fiber/coax cable TV system.

I'm at 9 Mbps down and .6 Mbps up on DSL at a little after midnight and it decreases drastically during peak hours not to mention dropping out completely on a fairly regular basis. All of my friends are on cable and complain about the slowness of my internet when they're over, but the cable company pays the city I live in to keep the competition out (I really want FIOS), which angers me to the point I won't pay them for their services. So I pay more for slower and less reliable DSL...

168 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up with cable. (Paying for "up to" 100 Mbps.)

76Mbps down/20Mbps up. This is since fibre became available in our area last December (the best early Christmas present I've had!) - before that, it was 1.5Mbps down/1.5Mbps up... The only positive of the old speed is that I still marvel at how fast our fibre is...
