How Fast Do You Down?



Most of us know that the internet in the US is much slower than the rest of the world that has what we could call an equal amount of development.

Since the Telcos welched on their bargain to add those 200 billion (said with your pinky finger at the corner of your mouth) tax deferred dollars into the US infrastructure, we are behind most of the countries of similar status.

Here at the office I have a DSL by Qwest, it does OK and I regularly get about 2.5mbps down. This is not as good as the neighboring community who has a muni that offers 3 times that speed for a touch less than what I am paying.

So here's my question. What kind of internet do you have? Speed and ISP?

Get real Pappa Bear, like I would know anything about that except
1)This Cable modem is way faster than the dial-up or satellite was
2)Cable modems don't go out when the weather is bad

The technical stuff is what I keep the hubby around for! Love ya hon!

I'm on a cable modem through RoadRunner (Brighthouse Networks). My toolbar shows I'm connected wirelessly right now at 56kbs. I get pretty quick page loads..no complaints here!

I've got Comcast Cable high speed internet with 4.5mbps down. My speed is fairly consistant most of the time. I'm considering switching to a less expensive alternative though.

UK, Virgin Media Cable, 20MB down theoretically, typically it's anywhere from 8 to 17 down instead but occasionally it maxes out.

Our small town only offers slow internet... 768dsl is the fastest they have... and its awful compared to cable modems.
