What download speed do you get, and how much are you paying?

[Moh]

Well I'm sick to death of my slow internet, so I was wondering what do you usually get?

When I'm downloading something, it downloads at 100kb/sec IF im lucky.
My mums paying £16.00 p/m for this.

Sadly, were only limited to one internet provider so we cant even change to another ISP.

So what download speed do you have, and how much are you paying?

[scottish]

10mb and dno

[Moh]

10mb and dno
When your ISP says 8mb or 10mb, it means Megabit. Not Megabyte.

So whats that in megabytes..

[Stephen!]

10MB internet = 1.2MB/s download speed peak

[Recursion]

8MB Internet = Recently been getting 1.2 - 2.0MBP/S from Rapidshare (using IDM so having 8 connections to them at once :P), I think we pay about £15

[Moh]

10MB internet = 1.2MB/s download speed peak
So pretty much, 10 times better than mine.

[Stephen!]

10 and a bit :P

[scottish]

Wot i pay for up to 10mbs internet n dno wot cost is.

[Decode]

I pay for 3.5MB/S and get 3.5MB/S. How ever with torrents its like pay for 3.5MB/S get 0.1MB/S. :@

[Blue]

Up to 8 meg, get about 400 kb/s from rapidshare, pay £7.50 p/m

[Nick.]

We pay for up-to 8MB and I get 250kb/s on downloads. We don't pay anything cos we're with TalkTalk and with TalkTalk, broadband is free ;)

If you have decent routers it shouldn't make much difference :S. When you load a website, that connection probably had 20-30 routers between you and the server.

I'm also using two routers.

[LeeroyJenkins]

411 kb/s is my downloading speed for 1000 pesos or $20

that's like the fastest you will get for personal internet

if i want to do computer gaming i'll just go to an internet cafe.

[GommeInc]

Orange

- I get about 6MB/s
- Pay for 6MB/s but they have it so we can receive 8MB/s if it becomes possible, with no extra cost.
- We have an Orange phoneline on the broadband line, so naturally the price is reduced.

It's about £20 or so.

[Pyroka]

I get around 5-6MB download speed, on rapidshare that is. I download on Rapidshare at a 5MB per second rate. Oh and it costs nothing.

I lie, i just use my college internet like a big *****. My home net is sky, its 5 quid and it's pretty fast but nothing amazing.

[Recursion]

Hardly any servers, including Rapidshare's, will allow you to download at 5MB per second.

Its not Megabytes, its Megabits, and RS still wont let you download at 5 megabits/s

[Stephen!]

I've reached speeds of 8MB/s through college from rapidshare..

[Recursion]

Colleges etc.. aren't exactly residential lines ;)

[Stephen!]

Yeah, but it shows their servers can handle it

[Recursion]

Mm.

I pay for 8mbp/s and this is quite good for the country side IMO.
