2.0 mbps. Slow, but free. Larger uploads can be problematic.

31 down, and I hate that people still measure bandwidth in bps. What else do we use bits for? It's not like we size games in bits. Accepting it as a standard just means the ISPs get the illusion provided by bigger numbers.

Been on 20Mbps for 5 years, and actually just today got an increase to 60Mbps with Virgin Media here in the UK. Everything loads pretty quickly now and I'm not sure I'm used to it yet!

25 down, 4 up. I can get up to 100 down but it's just my girlfriend and me using it and we'd almost never take advantage of it. We're rarely maxing it out and big downloads that come close tend not to be things that I need immediately, so I'd really only be saving a few seconds here and there.

I was initially a little surprised to see 5-8 mbps as the lowest in the vote considering in the US that tends to be the top tier available for DSL. However, it's also usually around the same price point as low tier cable, which is faster, so I guess people who have both options go with cable, especially with a TV bundle.

Getting proper fiber in the building soon. The cable I have now isn't bad though, but it only supports up to 100 mbit. Can't wait to get 250 mbit!

At home I have crappy 2Mb. Here at Uni it's 100/100, so I love it.

@chavtheworld: Because I have 100/10. I can get 200/10, but it's not worth the cost. In a month or so, I can get 250/100 via fiber instead for a couple more bucks every month or 100/100 for the same price as I have today.

Mine is like 5.71 Mbps, so I just chose the first option. The sad thing is that this is a really, really good download speed for me. The American South sucks for internet speeds.

And in my country ( Romania) 12 Mbps is pretty bad. Funny how the world works...

Mine varies wildly according to the time of day. In the early morning I can pull 110 mbps, but in peak hours it drops to around 1.7 mbps. Of course, like everyone else, peak hours are when I actually have time to use the internet, so I rarely benefit from the crazy-high 5 am speeds. I'm in an apartment complex with cable internet, so I end up sharing the 'pipe' with everyone else. It's enough to make me want to just go to bed at 6 pm after work and wake up stupidly early to reap the benefits of surfing the web, downloading games, etc. while everyone else is asleep.

My upload speed is a very stable 5 mbps, though. Not super fast, but at least it's consistent.

15-20 mbps down depending on what time I decide to check it.

1.62-1.72 mbps up

Where I live that is about the best I can get. Would love to have something faster but it can usually do what I need it to.

I've officially decided that I need faster internet. I think I should be able to get 30 Mbps without paying too much more than I'm paying now (at least, for a year or so). I'm hoping the wife is on board.

Back in Poland it was about 30Mbps and it was pretty cool. Now I'm down to frickin' unstable 2Mbps while I'm in China. I need to find good provider around the area where I live.
