I pay 35$ (US dollars) for my 30MBps speed with around a ping of 15-18ms and 0% time out rate at all times and can download a full length movie (800 MB) in roughly 2-5 minutes. I assumed that in today's day and age that was pretty much the norm, and anything less would be unacceptable. This is 2011, after all. I know my speed is acceptable at 30MBps but some of your speeds far exceed mine, and that is awesome. Although what about the people below 10? or even below 5MBps? Ouch... |
While my 1 mbps internet right now is a little slow, the 5-8 (I've seen as high as 15 or 16) mbps internet that my college I am staying at next year has is more than enough. You have to realize that a lot of areas don't have access to super fast internet. Our internet is literally the ONLY fast internet provided in this area, and that only came around about 5 years ago (Only option before that was dial up).
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
