Who's got a faster internet connection?

[Keyboard Cowboy]

Lets just all show off out e-Wang just to see how has the fastest internet connection.

Seriously dude, big deal.
Some people are still on dial up.
There are some people (like myself) that are in remote parts of the world. Like Australia only have 3 (4th by the end of the year) submarine cables going out of the country to the rest of the world.

I had dial-up when I was smaller and didnt have my own computer and i was fine with it since i was using it for cartoon games

now i have 4200kbps download and 380kbps upload and they just added the 6mbps (the fastest we can get for residential) but im not getting it since im moving soon

im moving to katy, houston, texas in august and i went their once and tested the connection speed. it said it was Comcast Cable but it was from another company that we got the plan it was wierd. max i got was 20mbps and i think average was 15mbps and i didnt see a difference with the 4mbps and when i went their before i left they added the fiber cables and probably im going to get it depends on how much it cost with the current one

I have a theoretical max of 24mbps but get anywhere from 4 to 8mbps.
Anyway seems like your gloating, and getting yourself beaten by faster intraznets peoplz to add to it. lol. In fact, i think i have like 3 or 4 times your upload speed. (I usually dont say stuff like that but since you started it... lol)

24mbps/1mbps, will upgrade soon to 54mbps/2,5mbps...

I have the same connection as you (Greece). I get about 12-16mbps and on torrents even 22mbps, the upload is just fine (1mbps).

i'm still rocking the 768kb/s dsl line! WOOT

[surgeVel]

16mbps down/2mbps up. Soon to get FiOS for 15mbps down/15mbps up! CRAZY upload speeds!

so we can have a "who has the best 3dmark 06 score" thread but not a who has the best net speed thread??
some people cant afford nice computers but that doesnt mean its not ok for them to brag about their 3dmark score

some of you are getting your panties in a bunch over just a friendly little competition thread

There is no problem with a friendly competition. But at the same time it can turn ugly real quick with posts like #3 where someone says stuff like "Your just jealous" when in fact they cant get better.

It is the same with the 3DMark. I dont rate on there so i stay out of there. I made it well known that people are still on dial up in my first post. So how can they "compete"?

Just a warning. This turns ugly it will be closed.

I have a 1.5 DSL connection. I would like more speed, but it works. Cable would [theoretically] be double the speed for double the cost. Hopefully they will have the upgrades in place by the end of the year so I can move up to 3.0 DSL for $5 more a month. But if AT&T goes with the charging by the usage my bill will be skyrocketing...
