The title says it all! My dsl connection was updated from 4mbit and 20kb/s upload to 8mbit and 40 kb/s for free, just a few days ago. Well what about you guys?

Mine's cable internet at 8mbps down / 512kbps up. Equates to somewhere around 1MB/s and 64kB/s.
I want me some FIOS (or other fiber-optic service) 20/20 internet
Too bad it's not available in Ohio (yet?).

Anywho, I've got 512/196 kbps (64/24KBps)

Here is my home computer with Mediacom internet in Illinois, USA
Supposed to be 10mbps down and 512kbps up. I really don't think this reading was a fluke because I ran the test several times.
This is my work computer...The internet speed has a cap at our local server for each computer. Take into consideration that we have over 40 computers that all should be able to run at the same speed.....maybe.
And yes we do already have the same thread running in the Polls section.

I am confused as to why you say that it equates to around 1MB down and 64kb up?
With my internet I really can download at up to if not more than 10mbps...I have confirmed this several times before.....Maybe all of you guys are getting ripped off?

kbps vs kBps ; bit vs Byte
Internet speeds are specified in bits-per-second, but files sizes are specified in bytes, so we typically quote bytes-per-second for how fast we can transfer files.
1 Byte = 8 bits
So, if your internet is 10Mbps, your calculated max transfer speed is 1.25MB/s.

Wow..I don't know how I could have miss that...Thanks for the info.
Strange this is...I have downloaded at 9MBps using multiple computers on one modem. I guess sometimes Mediacom has it's freak moments.

Yeah, that 75Mb/s (megabits per second) would be about 9MB/s (megabytes per second), which is very impressive!

75 mbps is not possible on a home area network. The fastest i know is Verizon fios which is max Download up to 50 Mbps / Upload up to 20 Mbps. How much are you paying if you get 75mbps ?

My provider advertises 15mbit/sec down, 1mbit/sec up. In reality it's closer to 20mbit down, 800kbit up.
I've seen my downloads go as fast as 2.5mbps, which is enough that I'm satisfied for $35/mo.
PS: I'm purposely using a lowercase "m" in "mbps" and referring to "megaBITS per second" as "mbits" because goddammit I'm sick of seeing deceptive marketing practices trying to redefine a standard to suit their agenda while pushing nonsensical words like "mebibyte" to cover their deception... I'm taking it back; The term "mbps" means megaBYTES per second, regardless of capitalization. If you need to say the speed of something in megabits you should use the term "mbits". </rant>
