How fast is your internet?

This is what I get here, which feels pretty fast to me! Here in New Zealand you get "unlimited" speed but you are capped at 5, 10, 20 or 40 Gb usually. You people whining that you are going to get capped at 150Gb - :eek: - have no idea how good you have it compared to the third-rate service we get here. Shit, I wouldn't even know what to do with that much bandwidth!
 
Remember when I was talking about how good Open Range is? Yeah, I take that back. After 30 days, this is what I'm getting:



And that's on a GOOD day.

That's pretty pathetic. What is that, wireless? I assume so do to the insane latency.

You think that's insane? My wireless has a latency of 200-250ms! Lucky for me I don't do any online gaming. Not that I'd want to try with my max speed of 1MB/s.

I can top that! Wait till I get to my parent's place out in the middle of nowhere and run a speedtest on their mobile phone network based connection.

And while I do that, I'll be shouting Robert Maxwell's name at the top of my lungs.

Bring it on. I live in Australia, so our whole country is the middle of nowhere! :lol:
And my wireless network is actually a generation behind the mobile phone networks, although I do have a steady connection with the maximum speed I'm paying for, so I don't generally complain about it. I could get faster speeds if I go with one of the mobile carriers, but they have much lower bandwidth allowances, and usually charge you for going over the cap, and all seem to have 12 or 24 month plans.
 
Since I fart around online at work more than I do at home (thanks taxpayers!), this is more accurate to describe my mpg (miles per Googles)

However, according to my saved Speedtest results...my last Comcast test in March pegged me at a meh 18.05 mbps download/ 4.23 mbps upload.
