Lot of cable companies have been doing speed upgrades..

[GT2000]

Cox is pushing hard to upgrade their speeds in their systems with Verizon's FIOS hitting the market in certain areas (it's operational in a few parts of this region). I finally got my upgrade over night, it's 15Mbps down and 2Mbps up...very sweet indeed...

Here's a test off this one site running a Gigabit network, very good speedtest page.

I need to go download something just to see how it goes....

[GT2000]

Just downloaded something off Fileplanet, peaked at 1.40MB/s, yeah, I'm diggin' this. My upload should peak at around 250KB/s now.

Not bad for a service that would run a non-discounted customer/employee $54.95/mo.

Well, that's pretty standard still really...before the upgrade (and I've been on the premier tier for a year now mind you), I was getting 5.0 down and 768 up. Heh, I could pretty much dump hosting and run TTT off my home server if I wanted now.

shitty cable

My up at school used to be incredible, close to 450 kb/sec average for most of my uploads ... and then the network crashed one weekend and ever since then, it's been like ... literally 9kb/sec up. Blows my nuts.

you lucky philly suburbanites

[GT2000]

Yeah, I remember you mentioning that sharkz...I was seriously considering FIOS until they upgraded the cable speeds here, I'm fine now. Although in one locale verizon has offered the 30/5 Mbps line for 55.95 or whatever it was, if they were to standardize it....THEN...it'd be a possibility.
