Internet Speed

**TheDA** · 12-18-2009, 02:21 PM

Your upload speed is probably faster than the majority of European downloads

**Robbie** · 12-18-2009, 02:27 PM

I thought Europe had super high speed broadband? Talking about Western Europe...

**TheDA** · 12-18-2009, 02:33 PM

I think a lot of the Eastern European countries are faster than a lot of Western European ones.

With the exception of maybe a couple of the Scandinavian countries, I don't think they are anything near the speed you are getting at the moment.

Of course, I could be completely wrong.

**slowloris** · 12-18-2009, 05:48 PM

Well that is surprising, the country with the highest average speed in the world is Latvia, followed by Lithuania and Romania.

I think that's because there's only 2 people in Latvia and they both have broadband.

I have 100/100 fiber in Sweden at $30 per month. I live in a village 25 miles from the nearest "big" town (70,000 inhabitants). I have a hard time believing that most eastern European Countries has faster average speeds than us?

**dallasnovelty** · 12-18-2009, 05:56 PM

i usually average 19-21MB D/L and 5-6 U/L using Verizon FiOS

That is a great price. We get bent over and ass fucked here in the U.S.
Of course that's for everything we ever get here.

From prescription drugs to internet service. At least our gasoline is "only" $3 a gallon (should be 50 cents in my opinion)

This is mine with the Cox preferred bundle.

**Zorgman** · 12-18-2009, 11:36 PM

Fucking Australian Internet sucks. Waiting for ADSL2 to be in my area.

Yes. Call Cox cable and get hooked up!

**TehKinkyHotness** · 12-19-2009, 05:00 AM

Comcast in St. Paul MN, I am on the 22MB package, $62 a month or so.

**nation-x** · 12-19-2009, 05:05 AM

My cable sucks but I have 10/10 fiber at my office

**Socks** · 12-19-2009, 05:09 AM

They have a 50mbit package from rogers now, but you need a new modem, and it's $99 a month.

My package is 10mbit down (around 1.3mb/s) for $59.99 a month.

For an extra $10 a month I could get 25mbit now from them, which I'll probably do. I think you can get that without the new modem.

I tried out their 20mbit service a while ago, when it was $99, and I got around 2.3mb/s max. Problem was most places don't send to you that fast, and I found it was fairly rare to see speeds above the old 1.3mb/s anyways.

Historically South Korea has had the fastest internet, along with Sweden and the Netherlands.

**Roald** · 12-19-2009, 06:19 AM

ok for home use.

**FlowerKid** · 12-19-2009, 06:21 AM

In western europe you can have super fast internet connections, but they are also super expensive in most countries.

omg I want that upload speed. I get 20-30mb download but my upload is still just over 1mb. I don't get why they can't increase that with download speeds here in the UK.

**Matyko** · 12-19-2009, 06:30 AM

Microwave internet @ no man's land where I live for $180/m

Not sure about other eastern european countries, but in Slovakia you can get the same speed like you have, for the same price. But it will really be as fast, not just in theory.

Actually you would be suprised...probably more people in Latvia(%) have fast internet connection compared to the states.

Because they don't want to have to police everyone trying to run their own webserver on their home computer... that is the ONLY reason why they cap upload.

Problem with Canada is we get fucked with the price but also are given insanely low caps. Such a piss off.

Yeah, better ping is good.

Sometimes people say I lag in real life.

**gleb** · 02-23-2010, 02:31 AM

Just upgraded from cablevision boost to ultra.

**VladS** · 02-23-2010, 03:37 AM

This is in Romania, the package is 15 bucks per month. Not bad at all.

**Legend Status** · 02-23-2010, 03:40 AM

Bellsouth AT&T

best package available.

Kiss my ass.

**CurrentlySober** · 02-23-2010, 03:49 AM

In the UK...

**MrMaxwell** · 02-23-2010, 04:04 AM

I have cox, too, and I'm only getting 30/5 for $60/month
Is there any way in the world to get them to open up some upload bandwidth for me? I even asked them if I could have more at off peak times, of course they can't do that, but five really sucks. I understand that this is just the nature of the cable system. They've got to limit upload speeds.

What ever happened to fios? It was going to be 30/30 and up...
