Comcast top 'o' the line. We pay like 60 a month for everything but we got a REALLY good deal. Without that I'm sure it would be like 120 for everything.... ugh.

well, after exceeding the amount up/downloaded limits on campus too many times, this is what I'm stuck with for a week:

Download Speed: 23 kbps (2.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 23 kbps (2.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

So, I probably won't be around much, and the SMx Stats page will be very slow.

Some of you guys think you have it bad. Try this for size:

We only have ONE telecommunications company in South Africa. Naturally, they have a monopoly. They have just launched a home and business DSL 1024. Yes, that's no typo the fastest speeds we have here is 1024 and that was just launched last month.

What do we pay for these breathtaking speeds you may ask?

R400 installation. R680 monthly line fee and another R256 to the internet service provider who then provides you with a 3Gig shaped monthly cap.

At a current exchange rate of R6.40 to 1$ that comes to about $146 per month and a $62 once off fee.

I am using the new Verizon Fios "Fiber" I have the 2nd best package! rated 15dwn and 2up... i really wanted the 5up but as it sits now I need to make a bit more cash to afford that connection.

I pay $48.89USD per month right now for the 15dwn and 2up

to get 35Dwn and 5up it cost about $179.00USD

the reason Cox is so good where I am is CT and RI are on the same network and Cox is competing with FIOS in RI. Thus speeds better be good or all the RI customers would go do FIOS. I know quite a few people who have Cox and thiers it just as fast. Also, one must keep in mind this Cox system of three towns was orginally a different company with great cable modem speeds, so the network was already good when they bought it, thus requiring less money to get it up to DOCSIS 2.0.

I can tell you right now that the network here doesn't act like that. I wish it did, but pings in gaming hop from 20-235 all the time. Very frustrating.
