What is your guy's advertised internet speed vs your actual one and how much are you paying for it? I get 6 mbit down at home for $30 a month and something like 500 kbit up. This is road runner cable... |

Comcast HSI, 8Mb down, 1Mb up @ $59.95/mo. Actual speeds reach 22Mb down, 1.7Mb up. Can't wait for DOCSIS 3.0 to reach my area! |

What makes you think I run BitTorrent? ;-) I wouldn't know if I was or not, as I artificially limited my usage via my BitTorrent client so as to not 'suck up' all my own bandwidth while doing other things, and yet I still achieved decent up/down speeds anyway (well, decent for me). I hardly use BitTorrent as it is, so I usually leave my client shut off unless I need something. |

What is your guy's advertised internet speed vs your actual one and how much are you paying for it? Advertised: 53 kbps Actual: typically 38 to 45 kbps Paying: $16.95 U.S. / month ... Just thought I'd remind you that not everybody lives where broadband is available, and what a bargain it is if you need to transfer a lot of data. Joe |

What is your guy's advertised internet speed vs your actual one and how much are you paying for it? T-1, and I get the advertised speed, plus a pretty strict SLA. But it costs $360/month. |

What is your guy's advertised internet speed vs your actual one and how much are you paying for it? "Affordable" broadband. T-1 is available just about everywhere, at some price. |

Comcast HSI, 8Mb down, 1Mb up @ $59.95/mo. Actual speeds reach 22Mb down, 1.7Mb up. Can't wait for DOCSIS 3.0 to reach my area! That actual speed of 22Mb for download is the "power boost" which only applies for the first 10MB of a download. After that you will be near the 8Mb down. |

I download large files all the time and depending on the server on the other end, I get 22Mb throughout. One example is when I download the latest ATi CCC drivers, which are anywhere from 44MB to 80MB large, and I get the full 22Mb speed throughout. |

Verizon 7.1M/768K DSL @ $12.99/month, Sorry No FiOS in this area for a couple years. My speeds are really 6M/730K, But I can't complain and the emails great, But of course I don't use Verizons, I use that other one and It ain't Yahoo either. :) Oh and there's no throttling here either.

Wow, great deal! I have Verizon 3M/768k, 29.99/Mo. I've run speed tests here and there, get about an average of 2.8M/700k, using Speedtest.net -Dave |

Problem is one has to be less than 9000' from the Verizon CO nearest to You, If one isn't there's always 3M/768K still. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

I get this for free, but I don't where it's comming from.Perhaps a school down the block or a neighbor.Been getting it for over a year and a half, with no problems.But their is always the worrisome thought that it could vanish at any time.I have no controll of it. |

I can't remember what speed I am paying for (2M/256k?), but it is Business Class Road Runner for $85/month. Guaranteed 1 hour service calls. Nice for my business. I'll check my home RR also. Clk2HlpSetiCty:::PayIt4ward |

Not sure on price for broadband connection, just changed package as I get telephone line and cable TV, with extra box, as well. Total package is £50 ($100). Sirius, you might want to check with Virgin, that sounds expensive to me for 2Mbit, or have you been informed they are doubling speeds, soon, at same cost. Thats why I re-negotiated contract, reduced cost by £23, but don't get speed increase. |
