I'm on: 8Mbps down, 2.5Mbps up. (Annex M, ADSL 2+.)

I can switch it to 15Mbps down, 1Mbps Up, anytime I need faster downloads.

Or, if I am gaming with the Americans, throw it into Low-latency mode where it removes interlacing on the line where I achieve 5Mbps down, 1Mbps up, shaving off 30-50ms can make a big difference with overseas players and servers. :)

All in all I pay $140 a month with 1.2 Terabytes of data.

Still can't want for 100Mbps fiber to be rolled out in the next year or so where I am and finally be able to ditch the crap copper.

I can't do anymore than that.. and my plan goes upto 20mb/s depends on my location.

This is what I get. what is that crap limit download you talk about? what happens when you reach that limit?




Around the Network

Vast country where the rural alreas have significantly worse internet.
I bet the internet in 90% of Russia is just as bad.

Yea, is internet slowed quite a bit on wifi versus wired? I don't have a wire to test mine, I was just curious if I would see even higher results if I was wireed.

You should certainly see a boost.
Also some wifi connections are capped at 65Mbit/s.
