What speeds are you getting from your provider?

[Johnny Vinyl]

I subscribe to Bell Canada Sympatico's "Fibe16" service for about $57 (tax in) a month. I'm fairly happy with the real download speed I'm getting, but the less than 1MB upload speed is almost unbearable.



What are you getting and paying for?

Using your test (Speedtest) I get 16.81 Mb/s download, 2.95 Mb/s uplink, Comcast with a Linksys modem, about $50 USD/month. At least it's way faster than dial-up. - Don

With Speedtest I get about 20 download & 5 upload speeds. I have Comcast as well (package deal for $139 that includes cable TV, internet and phone). I am thinking of downgrading the cable TV though, since with Netflix we don't watch it very much anymore.

Comcast Business class here at 50 down and 15 up. Included in phone, cable and internet with static IP, it's about $120/mo.

Time Warner in NYC. With AOL, 11.4 down and 0.43 up; with IE 16.4 down and 0.49 up.

Hmmm...ran second time and got 13.1 down and 0.43 up for AOL; 18.4 and 0.49 down for IE. Third time got 10.7 down and 0.43 up for AOL ; 19.7 down and 0.49 up for IE. Just to be anal, fourth time yielded 10.3 down and 0.4 up for AOL; 19.6 down and 0.49 up for IE.

And Google Chrome is slower-only 15-16 down and 0.49 up.

Mine is supposed to be faster, but I live out in the sticks (not far out, however) and share with the neighborhood. Or so they tell me.

I use Comcast and have been pretty satisfied with the speed:

Although the download varies considerably, depending upon the test server, with lowest ~15Mb/s.

I pay for 10/2 via FIOS and I think the monthly is about $35.

I was told yesterday by Bell Sympatico that for $5/mth I could have the upload speed improved to 7mb. Not sure if I want to do that as I don't upload that much, but it might be. We've got a group of guys starting to upload some vids to youtube and I must admit it's a lot of fun.
