Your fastest Broadband Internet access at home: DSL, cable, satellite, ....?

Haha. You would think. The guy who hooked me up with it did a double take when I requested it. He's like, 999 gigs isn't enough? Do you really need all that? I'm like, yes, I do. And even if I don't, it's there for backup.

 

Had Comcast. Very fast. It would randomly die and a tech had to drop by to fix it. You know, Comcast 4 hour window and all of that. Switched to ATT. Slow. Reliable.

 

FTTH, in a rural area.

 

I've had Uverse for three years. Internet only, no TV or phone. 16down, <1 up. I have 50M cable at one office and 100M cable at my other office. Thinking of switching at home to cable company for Internet only. Always amazing how many people think you have to get TV to get internet from cable company.

Verizon FIOS Dallas/Ft Worth Area

 

Very happy with my Verizon FiOS. One technical issue in 5 years -- a power surge fried the power supply, apparently a known issue with that vintage power supply. They came out and replaced it and gave me an updated modem while they were here.

 

Just got a free upgrade from 30 to 50 from Virgin Media in London
Fibre optic

 

Just for fun...my phone. (Sprint 4G LTE)

 

My Time Warner download speed is 100 Mbps! And of I wanted to pay more, it goes up to 300 Mbps.

 

4 Mbps download, 1 Mbps upload.

 

Here in Yorkshire we have overhead aluminium wires.
Even so I can download something faster than I can watch it.

 

Sky Fire Optic in East London:

 

my line got a bit faster recently

 

Does anyone know what this "ookla speedtest" does to your PC when it fixes "problems"?

 

wow!

Pretty happy with mine as well!
129.32 Down, 23.26 Up

 

Honestly 600 Mbit/s is overkill for me, but it's the slowest speed in my ISP plans. The only person at home who can properly use the bandwidth is my son, when downloading games from Steam. What I'm really happy with is the upload speed, sending back documents to my customers is lightning fast.

 

My cable service:

 

Google Fiber here...feel the fiber!!!!

 

My speeds increased since this thread started and I posted in 2012
Download: 28 Mbps
Upload: 5 Mbps

 

'Only' 24mb/s via fibre & 7 devices connected (~29mb/s with only 1 device connected).
This is plenty fast enough for downloads/uploads/streaming

 

I have DSL but I hope to switch to Verison FIOS soon. The problem is Verison, they got a huge tax break to install broadband. They wired the whole area and then refused or stonewalled everyone on hooking it up. I can't figure it out. Allegedly they are going to provide us with service soon. The lineman confirmed with me that it is on the telephone pole 500 ft from my house. I know it's there but Verison is stalling.

 

Wow. You guys all have SLOW data service. Cox Communications GigaBlast. One GIGABIT!

 

Just had fibre installed this morning:

 

Just sayin'...
