40 Mbps WideBand, and they are working on 100 Mbps; not sure when that speed will become available, but it's blazing fast now.

That's what I get.

Wayne I thought you got high speed?

Yes - I pay for broadband.

Problem is, we are SO rural, nodes are scarce, so if I go online at 3:00 am our time, I get nice (somewhat) performance, but 10 bucks says I am sharing one line with this whole valley right now.

Verizon has one of those square boxes about 5 feet wide, 4 feet tall, 3 feet deep on a concrete pad 75 feet from my house, so when DSL finally gets up and running, look out man! Fiber optics to within 75 feet of the house, hell yeah.

Mind you, that test was done with 3 other people on the internet, my upload has peaked at about 90KB/s before :)

100GB/month ... Although it does cost $130/month :(

Mine can go ~50Mbs on a hard wire, but for some reason I cant get over 22Mbs over the wireless. Any ideas?

HOT DAMN! That's insane! For some reason I can't harvest our 100mb speed. My dad said its 1gb, but we can only use what will get through, and that's 100mb, which I don't even get! I get like 15 down >.<

Also I just checked my history, I have 3 tests available, the locations are kinda odd....

5/24/2010 1:23PM-15.87Mb/s-3.9Mb/s-51ms-Aurora, CO-~50mi
4/13/2009 4:29AM-14.79Mb/s-3.02Mb/s-129ms-Tampa, FL-~1500mi
4/13/2009 4:28AM-9.19Mb/s-4.01Mb/s-20ms-Denver, CO-~50mi

These locations confuse me, especially the one in FL...wtf? We used to live in Florida, but NOT in Tampa! Huh...

Can't believe we pay $70 a month for 12GB at these speeds.
Apparently we'll be switching to a good Internode plan soon though. And then when we move we should have broadband.

That speed is over wifi too :p I've yet to try it wired. Router isn't in a spot where I can put my PC either :p

Heck we got the verizon package phone/internet/cable for $70 a month :p then it after 6 months only goes up to $100 unlike comcast who STARTS at $100 :p and there's no bandwidth cap :D

Most of the time it is around 20 Mb/s up and ~1.3 Mb/s down.... Still not bad for $35USD a month...
