What speed broadband conenction?

Hi

What speed broadband conenction do you currently have?

Anyone got 20MB

I'm running on 8Mbit/s (according to stats, I've never bothered to really check on this... don't need to!) but 8Mbit/s is more than plenty for me really.. I just hope in a few years I can move work life into an office at the datacenter Then I'll never have problems getting in touch with my servers.. where as now I can sometimes get quite a bit of lag through the likes of SSH, not a huge problem though most of the time!

Give this a go: www.speedtest.net



I don't think that result is too bad for here

I'm looking at hosting a server in Manchester for speedtest.net, next year - 2008

My cable company claims they offer 8Mbits..But sometimes I don't think that I'm getting quite that.

My phone(mobile phone) gets much slower connections than that.....I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 128 to 256KB on average. There was a thread on another webmaster forum claiming that a lady in the UK was receiving 20TB of bandwidth....But I don't think that has much truth to it...You could watch several movies, listen to several songs, and download several GB of data simultaneously over a connection that rapid.

Hmm 20TB each month in traffic seems to work out around 60-65 Mbit/s... possible but very odd, especially for residential areas.. ie connections for the home
