Speed of connexion at home ?

[Akka]

Just got a new, cheaper, faster connection to Internet.

Made me suddendly wonder "hey, but what is the typical speed connection of the average CivFanatic poster ?".

So, here comes the poll ^^

PS : it's only for internet connection AT HOME. Not at work.

 

[Dogmeat]

0,5 mbit adsl.

 

[hawai_74]

56k at home, but i never (or rarely do) post there. At work we have T1

 

[Hitro]

768Kbs ADSL.

 

[Turner]

It's advertised as 3mbit cable. I haven't actually tested it.

When I had RoadRunner in Kansas City, I was supposed to be getting about 3mbit, but would routinely hit 3.5+.

 

[WickedSmurf]

10 mbps

 

[vonork]

10 mbit (we actually got two 10mbit lines into our home if it's ok to brag

 

[Dell19]

512kps at home but 10mbit at Uni

 

[Perfection]

56k, w00t!

 

[Akka]

Doh, I was including 10 Mbps lines just for being exhaustive, but I didn't actually believes there was really people with this kind of connection at hom

 

[Suppersalmon]

512kps at home

 

[Grisu]

that's it let's invade sweden. it's just not fair that they get connections like that

anyway, my connection is 768Kbps ADSL

 

[HannibalBarka]

Akka, I am waiting for my Freebox (1mb I think). You have that or something else?

If you live in the right place, you could get 26 Mbps VDSL for app. 40 euro per month.

I got 512 kbps cable myself, and pays 30 euro/month. My friends think I should move up to higher speeds but hey, I actually made a small profit by going from modem speed to cable (since I could cancel my subscription for telephony). There's not much I would need more than 512 kbps for.

 

[Speedo]

Are you kidding? I can't even get cable TV.

 

[Ankka]

I have 256 adsl, got it yesterday...


But for some reason it's almost as slow as a 56k...

Yup, Freebox ^^

Theorically, 2 Mbps, but in practice, it's more 3 to 3,5 Mbps (average download speed with DA : 450 Ko/s) ^^

Here's a link to the company offering 26 Mbps:

Bostream

It's in swedish, but by reading the numbers you'll get the picture..

1 € = 9,26 kr,
$1 = 7,57 kr

 

[Akka]

Ok. Time to invade Sweden, that's it.
