What's the fastest internet connection available in your area?

[JellyWorld]

What's the fastest internet connection available in your area? They have 25MB/s here but mine is only 512 i think.

 

[Harryz]

Are you trying to rub it in Smokes face?

As of my area, not sure. I'm currently on 512, damn Freeserve for no free upgrades!

 

[Anthraxxx]

Uh... 25 Mega Bytes? or Mega Bits? 512 what? 512 Kilobits?

It is possible to get a T1 or T3 in your home, but it's expensive as hell.

Current standard cable service here is 4 Mbit, which can be upgraded to 6 Mbit.

DSL here us up to 2 Mbit

and only n00bs use 56k.

 

[Fat Tony!]

hmm I think 2mb after the engineeers come in, I have 56k

 

[Danimal]

512k

However, I know a couple of people with 8MB, the only people in our area with Broadband 2.

 

[Lemonking]

DSL4000 is the fasted around here Avril.

 

[jimbo118]

im on 512k, broadband sucks here, highest available is 2mb afaik in my area, dunno about cable etc.

 

[Gray Fox]

8mbit down, 1mbit up

 

[KagePrototype]

2mb cable (which i have ).

 

[Shodan]

Some kind of strange optical connection, 3 Tb/s down, 1 up.

 

[The Monkey]

8 mb/s. Although there're people in other parts of Sweden that have 1 Gb/s.

 

[Ames]

I'm in New York City. There's bound to be some really high speed service somewhere.

 

[15357]

100mbps (VDSL)

^ mine.......

i think theres a laser-pulse fiber optic connection thing somewhere a few kms away though.

 

[xLostx]

10Mb down 5mb up

 

[qckbeam]

My connection is 5 mb/s

I personally don't know of any faster than that around here, although I believe Verizon is bringing out something new sometime soon. 50 mb/s or something crazy like that.

 

[h00dlum]

100mbit right now which im using now, 1 Gbit will be avilible next fall though...

Korea has like the fastest available internet connections in the world right?

 

[Qonfused]

3MB cable, Charter, if anyone cares.

It just came in, oh, 1.5 months ago. I switched from 56k so you can imagine how glad I am.

 

[Gorgon]

8MBit/Sec from www.UKONLINE.NET

Its super super fast.

 

[Dekstar]

1Mbit/Sec from www.Bulldogbroadband.com

It's not super fast, but it's pretty good for getting the job done.

EDIT: xLostx - I thought you were on 56k or something?

 

[xcellerate]

3mb down/1.5mb up

 

[The Monkey]

100mbit right now which im using now, 1 Gbit will be avilible next fall though...

[RakuraiTenjin]

Heh, Internet2, that won't around for awhile, seeing as some students were using the tests for filesharing.

 

[Steve]

I dunno. My college has a T3. How fast is that?

 

[Ames]

I dunno. My college has a T3. How fast is that?

Up to 44 megabits.

 

[Steve]

What's a megabit? Like, in inches?

 

[Ames]

What's a megabit? Like, in inches?

8 bits is one byte. Divide by eight redneckboy.

 

[h00dlum]

Where do you live? Stockholm?

No, but pretty close...we have a really developed broadband comunity here..

 

[iyfyoufhl]

i have not clue, i don't even know what's my connection

 

[Datrix]

Fastest - T3
I have - T3

T3 hellyeah!

 

[The Monkey]

No, but pretty close...we have a really developed broadband comunity here..

Where I live we got no broadband avability at all, just ADSL. A friend not 2 km from here doesn't even have ADSL, he's stuck with 56 kb/s.

 

[diluted]

As far as I know, fastest here is 7mbit (Shaw)...
I got 5mbit down/1mbit up.

 

[Shakermaker]

The current offer in the Netherlands: <LINK>. For those too lazy to look: 20 megabit/sec for a little under 40 euro's, including live football matches (proper football, not the American kind). I'm getting it for sure.

EDIT yay, 1.100 posts! :thumbs:
