    At home mine is 300-400 kbps.

    Here at school it's about 1 mbps.

    Better than Dial-Up, but with all the properties of Dial-Up, twice the cost, and half the speed! LESS IS BETTAR!

    I don't know how you guys survive. My parents have a 1.5Mbps connection and whenever I use it I get really impatient. I'm even thinking about upgrading to the 8Mbps connection my ISP provides.

    Same thing happened to me this weekend. I was using the free wireless internet offered at the airport, which runs at 1.5 mbps at most, and I felt like I was back on dialup. :mog:

    Having great speed sucks if there's a quantity cap so you can't actually use it. ISPs offering 8mbps with 1 GB monthly cap around here are jokers really 1mbps with 800 GB monthly cap is more to my liking (I'd have said 80, but I use somewhat more than that.)


    Also, there's no option for 1mbps in that poll, which is what I have

    Also, 10mbps duplex at work, soon to be upgraded to 100mbps with the 10mbps for redundancy

    3828.533 Kbps (478.567 KB/sec) tonight. My connection somewhat sucks though, since the cap is at 12000 Kbps or so, but I am too far from the DSLAM to reach that speed.

    And then there is Death

    100.0 Mbps, apparently. *shrug*

    I just went for the bog-standard NTL option.

    100Mbps is your LAN speed.
