Mine supposedly is 15mb/s but I'm finding that it more like 5 or 6. So, yeah I'm getting ripped off.

Im the one getting ripped off! I pay a enormous amount for just 128kps (this is a fastest you can get right now), this is because I live in a remote area in central America! I am supposed to get 2mb next year for $120 dollars a month, which is very expensive, but I am looking forward to it.

I had 30mb/s down 3mb/s up then moved and now get about 10mb/s down and 3mb/s up. Paying about $50 a month for it.

11Mb/1Mb ADSL connection local in Hawaii. Speed test to CA averages around 3-6Mbps.

We need to lay another cable across the pacific again

I can play WOW without any trouble thank god!

I get 10mb, but it's Charter, so I only have a connection half of the time.

10Mb up and 1Mb down, and i actually get that speed with cable since i live in the country and no one around me has it as well, $50/month

I get around 22mb down and 7mb up

I pay $55 for 8mb/s and its usually pretty close to that.

I have 4Mb/s connection speed and 512kb/s download speed for 15$ a month and with free home and mobile phone subscriptions, it's from RCS$RDS.

I live in Romania.

7mbs down and about 750kbps up. ISP is Videotron (Québec) and I pay 40$/month

University internet, we have a OC 48 line coming in but I only see speed in the 5 - 10 Mb/s. Wish they would open up the throttling a bit, ping times are great though.

15mb/s down and 5mb/s up. Time Warner Cable, Southern California

Verizon FIOS here 20Mbit/20Mbit bundle TV HD + Tel for $150 a month including taxes w/ 3HD boxes and Movie package.

I have a 12Mbps cable connection. For the first minute or so, it peaks to about 18-24Mbps, and then stays at 12Mbps constant. 50Mbps service is available, but at a ridiculous price. So atleast the cable infrastructure around here is good for 24Mbps, proven.

I know that I'll be moving in the next few months, and it looks like FiOS is available in most of the apartments there. Only real advantage over cable is the upload speeds -- 2mbps versus cable's 768kbps. But I don't upload, so the extra 3mbps from FiOS (15mbps) is just an extra 25% bonus.

One last thing -- in the US we tend to have unrestricted download amounts. Comcast's 250GB/mo cap is one of the more notable, but still is an awful lot of data (on mere principles, I reject the notion of a 250GB/mo cap but that's another story). You'll find many of the superfast connections in other countries have pretty strict data limits, ones that you could exceed in a weekend of downloads. Just a general rule, though, I'm sure someone can find a non-US ISP with fast connections and 250GB/mo or higher data cap (or no cap!).

I don't have internet access at home. Sooooo, zero up and zero down! And it's free!

I'm getting 7.5Mbps down and 512kbps up, but supposed to be upgraded to 15Mbps down by the end of this month for about $43 CAD

At&t U-verse. 6mb down, 1mb up. It runs pretty close to advertised rate (except the upload, runs closer to 640kb). Probably pay about $35 a month before taxes. I wanted true Fios but verizon is not here (Ohio) yet.

If you're in the US the answer is not fast enough

I'm running 5 down more like .5 up

I have a 15-10 mps connection and a 3mbs upload for around 45 bucks

I get about 650 mbps down and 1.5 mbps up.

I use Cablevision and get 30Mbps down and 6Mbps up - I have never had any slow downs and never loose connections.

All for about $45 per month.

Speedtest.net reports I'm getting close to 6,000kbps down and 500kbps up. My connection is supposed to be up to 8.0mbps down and 512kbps up, but compared to others in my area with a similar plan, my actual connection speed is actually pretty fast.

Subscribe to 10/1 service at $60/mo (currently $40/mo promo price until summer), but being Charter Communications I really typically get 4/.75 service with frequent slowdowns and "hickups" (where the connection drops momentarily).

I also pay for cellular broadband, $60/mo for dialup to 2/.5 service (depending on signal) less a discount. Only 5GB/mo but it goes everywhere for me (and I have unlimited from the smartphone browser).

Do I feel ripped off? Yes and no. I am buying a luxury product and it has a luxury price, so it isn't a rip-off (especially compared to $40/mo phone + $20/mo dialup as the only alternative). However, I feel since speeds are not guaranteed and data caps are involved, the cable companies should drop all pretense of speed regulation and go to data volume plans. Throttling could be used when you hit 90% of your bandwidth and the price you pay would reflect the product you buy.

I have two lines one with a static ip at 32Mb paying 10$ a month and the other at 4MB at 6$ a month. Central Europe, Romania.

Download = 10Mb/Sec. Get anywhere from 60 to 98% of that typically.
Upload = 1Mb/Sec. Pretty much get all of that all the time.

ISP = Charter
Region = South East USA

We have had some incredibly long outages. It seems if I have nothing important to do, it won't fail. If I have something I HAVE to do via the web, that's when it'll be down. :0(

Occasionally changing my DNS settings on router will help.

10 down and 1 up with cogeco in Windsor

I'm in a rural area and have one option for cable and one for dsl. Cable is regularly $42/mo and my download tops out at 180kbps (1.5meg?). I think that's terribly for the money. DSL is no faster and costs more. I wish there were more competition around here.

They called me with a survey about a month after my connection was activated. When she asked for my general opinions I told the lady that I felt the speed:cost ratio was poor and she immediately got defensive. I guess they have no plan of improving.

I am in northeastern Pennsylvania and my supplier is Penteledata through Blue Ridge Cable.

Oh, cost on mine is right now about $55/month for web, basic cable, and a digital cable box (gives access to "on demand"). That's just a particular deal I locked in for about 12 months...

Time Warner 6 Mbs

12Mbit/320Kbit subscription, syncs at 9Mbit/320Kbit because of distance to DSLAM.
(Belgium, Flemish part)

Any users commenting that are on an ADSL/ADSL2(+) or VDSL network should state the speed they sync at, this degrades when increasing the distance to the DSLAM (meaning, total lenght over RJ11 copper telephone wire)
