Whats really no fun is that most Australian ISP's cap you to 64/64kbps (kilobits), and the largest quota most of them offer is 200GB

Wow... that really royally stinks. I talked to a number of techs at my ISP, and there is no official quota in place at all.

Unofficially the cap for regular/lower tier home service like I have is 250gb/month, combined for both up, and down.

Even if you reach it though, they throttle, but do not disconnect, or charge more.

I've never actually experienced the throttling... even though I've gone over 1TB in a month I suspect that if there is no congestion on the network where you are, my ISP really doesn't care too much. Although they do artificially cap the speed to 2.5up and 15 down.

Tech just came by, and installed new modem. Honestly I would have rather kept the 20, and done it myself, but apparently the general public is too dumb to install a modem on their own, so that wasn't an option. Instead I got to sit on my hands for nearly 6 hours waiting for them

Still... there is improvement:

Wow. It's sad, but the wifi at FermiLab is piss poor. You'd think that at a National Laboratory, you'd need high internet speeds for transferring large files, but nope! Not on Wifi, anyway!

Going to go do a speed test right now (sitting on the wifi here).

Ping: 65ms
Download: 1.01 Mbps
Upload: 2.83 Mbps

Now, when I'm on wired connection in Wilson Hall (the main center of FermiLab - right on the accelerators), I can get upwards of 100 Mbps download and ~60Mbps upload. THAT'S nice

Usually run at 5mb DL/1mb UL and around 25-30 ping.
Had this speed for about 2 weeks though, Cheers BT!

Very big difference for me... in China office, my connection is a 2MB Line, which can run at around 300MBit per sec, for the place I stay in Hong Kong, there are two lines, one is 100MB, and 300MB.

Anyway, I uses wifi most of the time, so it won't run at it's maximum speed.

At the moment:

Download speed is limited by wifi performance though, if i plug in an ethernet cable i get quite close to the advertised 50.

Dutch ISP, costs 52 euro a month including basic tv and phone connection.

No data limit. Just a fair user policy. 500-750GB/month is acceptable.

It really does take quite a bit to go through those kind of limits on a regular basis. My highest total in a month was ~2TB, and that was with downloading, and seeding almost non stop.

This is about as good as mine ever gets. Around ~$70 per month for a VDSL connection.
