4096/400 NTL. It's fine for me and my two housemates.

NTL cable here. Just been added onto their 20mb trial it seems.

so now running 20Mb/768K. Probably overkill a little!

at home i have broadband free from work (uncapped, unshaped, DSL Max goodness ) and be* which is shared with my flatmates, end result is some complex access lists to make sure SIP and other important stuff goes over work DSL and bandwidth eating downloads annoy my flatmates...

work wise, i'm 3 (Gigabit) hops from our juniper edge router in telehouse, unfortunately i've yet to find anywhere that lets me download at anywhere near those speeds...

what speeds do you get at work then?

If he works in a data center it could be up to 1Gb I suppose.

Very nice! Wish I could get cable. What the hell is fragametation? Does it help you Frag?

or is meant to be fragmentation.

I'm on Max, 2500kps mid week, 1900kps weekends ?

Skiddley · 20 Oct 2006 at 14:30

Poll. 10Mb.

Not sure what I have, I think it's just classed as *ridiculous* (uni)

At home I have 4mbit/s NTL cable.

Ukonline ADSL2+

17mbps V
768kbps ^

Killajaz · 20 Oct 2006 at 19:57

ADSL with 20/2.2

jbloggs · 20 Oct 2006 at 20:49

ADSL Max, download speed 2400Kbps/upload speed 375Kbps, I am 5.8km from my local exchange.

Al Vallario · 20 Oct 2006 at 20:55

1024/256 (and I'm paying £24/month for it)

Looks like the whole world has spun on it's axis a few times without me noticing. People on 5/8/10/20Mbps? :eek:

joey1211 · 20 Oct 2006 at 20:59

56k dialup at home. Any downloads are done at work.

Well it's limited by where you're connecting to, there are no test servers that really measure it well, our on network tests give about 650-700 mbps usually, though thats really just a gigabit LAN for all purposes (with a few hops through routers and firewalls). Testing with the speed tests on adslguide etc gives slightly better than 30 mbps, which has to be a limitation on their side really or in the transit....

just goes to show that in general, a connection over 10mbps is almost certainly a waste at the moment as the backbone networks at most consumer ISPs aren't up to it.

Isn't that still a bit slow even for web-browsing though?

When I had to use 56k recently it was awful.

joey1211 · 21 Oct 2006 at 11:54

Yep, does get a bit slow, especially with sites now being designed presuming that your running a faster connection.

BenST · 21 Oct 2006 at 20:36

NTL 4mb, £12.50/month. Perfectly happy with it

CurlyWhirly · 21 Oct 2006 at 22:12

3 Mb download speed off a 3.5 Mb sync on Max.
