What's your Internet speed?

[Matt193]

I have 3G Verizon wireless here. I don't have any cable or DSL available where I live, so my three choices are wireless broadband, satellite, or dial up. Yes, there are people in my area still on dial up! My d/l speeds are typically 1-2 Mb/s depending on what time of day it is and upload is always the same. Supposedly we're going to be getting 4G by next year but I am going to keep my grandfathered unlimited 3G plan to save money.

I use my Razr Maxx as my modem and tether wirelessly to our PC's as the 4g is fairly quick here.

This is a lot higher than I see normally -- almost double. But it's a standard internet tier connection from Cox. I've always been pleased with their service, including four phone lines and HD cable. There are three dual interface computers in the house that have this connection on the second interface (prioritized for non-local traffic). All computers have a 3Mb bi-directional wireless microwave link as well which serves as the primary connection. The Cox connection is just on computers that also have higher download needs (audio, video or project files). The wireless link costs close to 10x what the cable connection does. Go figure.

Using Fios and paying for an intermediate residential tier, i average 24M down and much lower up. But it is more than sufficient to stream HDX movies on VuDu. When I had Cablevision as a service provider, I was paying for twice the bandwidth i have now and i had constant buffering problems, partly due to the fact that the bandwidth was 'shared' by others on the same street and partly because they claim bandwidth using static tests, and not consistent demands made by something like an 85 minute long movie. When I worked with the techs at the streaming service they could see bandwidth drops way below the norm which, while lasting briefly, were sufficient to throw the stream into a tizzy. So, I'd place stability of the signal pretty high on my list of priorities, apart from bandwidth claims made by providers. Nonetheless, some of the speedtest results here are pretty impressive. I hope they have fios in Austin.

No I think they still use smoke signals down there

It's faster than the entire country when we started the first commercial ISP in Singapore in 1994.
