I gather you people don't have a cable connection.

I never experience a slowdown no matter how busy the traffic. At least none that is noticable.

Anyone that gets over 1000k UP is lucky as anything!!!
And i saw one person ON DIALUP get 339k up!!! (While they only got 22k down) They ran 2 different tests also on that page!!
Thats the first time i have ever seen that on dialup! (If its not an error,he is very lucky!)

3456 down 345 up
4700/300..
^It is simply not possible to truly transfer that amount of data through regular dialup though!

Thats because you live in Ireland :)
3274 / 231
Anything over 500 is super fast, of course the faster, the less you wait on downloads if the pipe feeding you is big enough. Streaming video takes about 150
My cable connection is advertised at 4000, they offer an upgraded connection at 9000 which I think I might get just for the hell of it

Yeah, how'd you miss the 382 letters and 723 emails notifying you of the change?

Lionel & Vile, as usual, an excellant point. I should have saved the paper, installed a fireplace, and just heated my home with the notices this winter. Additionally, AT&T had to replace my delete button on my email page, I wore the first one out. I'm not usually against change, I guess I'm just in denial. Thanks guys, you made me laugh.

Woah Borg, you have a really fast connection! How long does downloading a movie take you? Around 350 MB? I'm guessing around 50 minutes?

Your upload speeds are faster than download - very strange.
What type of connection is that?

Probably a T3 of some sort. My working theory is a downstream cap implemented via the router, but no commensurate upstream cap.

Probably so. It's one hell of a connection that's for sure.
