1. There should be a law for people like you

The law should state that you're not allowed to have a faster internet connection than the rest of us.

My dl/ul was 3711/354.

23. You must be on a dialup! What is that, 900 baud?

WOW! :wow:

Seriously, though, are you on a T3 or something fatter? Is this a work connection?

[sir_captain]

29. Heh...I was at my parents' apartment

for a visit. It's a Columbia building with a direct T1 line--one of the perks of acadamia. ;-)

As for RATE, I am at about 3 megs down, 256k up Comcast cable. (thought I didn't use the utlity to check)

[BroadwayBrat]

It's good enough. Would be nice to have something faster, but not many options other than what I have.

[Ariana Celeste]

20. down- 32 kbps, up- 188 kbps.

I have a nice pc, but shitty dial up.

I feel so old...

edit: having read the other posts I'm guessing it's bad. I don't care. It's good enough for my needs.

[Blue_In_AK]

24. I have no idea what this means

but mine was 515 down, 61 up from Seattle -- but my guess is that there's someplace closer to or in Alaska. I have a cable modem.

[Orsino]

25. Okay, pull over.

Any idea how fast you were browsing?

[Orsino]

26. 2939 kbps down, 317 kbps up

This is very close to what I pay for: 384k up, 3M down.

28. My DSL speed is so slow I'm embarrassed to post.

:(

Now I feel so inadequate. Gee, thanks.

31. 2500 up, 350 down..

... which is bone slow compared to some of the speeds I'm seeing here.

But all of us slow-speed users take heart. Unless you are doing multiple simultaneous downloads, it don't matter. Because if you look you will find that almost no server of content goes faster than about 350.
