I've got business class cable. Up to 6 Mbps down/384 Kbps up, the ad reads.
Of course i'll never see anything close to those speeds, but it is damn speedy anyway.

** for 35 a month.

A pair of OC22 lines...

...shared between 3 major state universities, behind a router that filters my packets (and adds 180ms to the ping times).

I've had better preformance from dialup. /glare.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":glare:" border="0" alt="glare.gif" />

6mBit down and 768kBit up. Costs me 45 euro with flatrate for both data and phone. I love downloading stuff with 720 KByte/sec. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

2Mb/s up, 512 Mb/s up (starting nov. 3rd, dialup for now) for 150 PLN (€40, $30). And it is concidered bloody cheap around here. Sometimes I hate my country...

P.S. 6Mb/s costs 240 PLN (€60, $80). And we earn 1/8 th of what UK ppl earn... Go figure /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

10Mb/s down, 384Kb/s up, cable connection for £35 a month. If i download from a site with decent bandwidth, usually get speeds over 1MB/sec.

10/10Mbit Ethernet, half duplex. Pay around 180SEK ($25) for it a month. Sadly I had to add the latency of a trip over to USA for most servers.

You mean 10/100Mbit Ethernet, and that's your LAN card specs, not your bitrate or throughput.
Unless I'm greatly mistaken.
