Do you have real highspeed internet? I mean HIGHspeed internet, 1000 kbps up and down - or better.
In the local area (Utah) only one service offers true fast internet although all are touting they are faster than the other guys.

| 15 mbps on Verizon FIOS. That's their slowest and least expensive plan. |

According to the Speakeasy speed test I just ran:
22mb download
4 mb upload
Blazing compared to the DSL I used to have.

Oh the joys of living in the Hicksville state. Do you know how much I would enjoy 35 mbps up and down?

I had posted the following results, as determined by Speedguide, and was beginning to have feelings of inadequacy:
1.25 Mbps up
4.7 Mbps down
But everybody else seems to have been using Speedtest, which gave me these results:
so I'm feeling a little better now.

| Back home, 10/10mbps is pretty much standard. Here in the US, we've got something closer to 10/1. |

Sorry, just wanted to give you an idea of what you guys are missing out on in the US. Here's mine, monthly cost $44 in Sweden:
Limited by my wireless router, service is actually 100/100

19.4 Mbps Down, 4.6 Mbps Up with Comcast in Portland. And I am literally a couple of blocks from another company's FIOS service which is 25 up AND down but I can't get it to save my life.
I've just learned to go do something else when uploading large files.

My Cablevision "Boost" service states 30Mb down / 5Mb up... today is a good day and it's performing to spec:

Time Warner caps their uploads for residential class at a ridiculous 700 kbps so I pay a hefty premium for the best business service I can get, which still isn't that impressive. Oh how I miss U-Verse.
