What is your internet connection speed?

andrewProgrammer said:
I have a fiber optic Internet connection. I get 100Mbps download and a 100Mbps upload with a 2ms ping. My actual speeds have been around 99Mbps down and 85Mbps up. I could get a Gigabit connection, but it costs $300/mo, and I only pay $60/mo for my current speeds.

Do you have a bandwidth limit? :eek: $60 is a steal for those speeds! Insane!

I have a bandwidth limit at 1TB. I've talked to their technical support a couple times asking for a way to see how much data I've used, but they always tell me that they can't monitor it (even on their end) until they get some technical issues resolved with their infrastructure. :evil:

I have xMission. They are part of the UTOPIA Infrastructure. Their customer service, speeds, and reliability are all superb.

Edit:
The sad part is how rejected it has been. There is so much controversy over UTOPIA, but it's because city officials are confused on what it really is. UTOPIA merely provides fiber-optic connections to the business and home. It costs the participating cities quite a bit, because it's funded through grants, but it's a one-time cost that turns into an investment for them. The value of the city and all its structures rise. UTOPIA isn't an ISP in-and-of-itself, but rather ISPs can purchase and resell bandwidth on it. Comcast has even tried talking bad about it in the city meetings, because they're scared, too. It's complicated, but I'm just glad that the area I live in has it. :)

Edit #2:
The best part is described right here from the UTOPIA FAQs, "You own your UTOPIA, meaning that when using UTOPIA's active Ethernet infrastructure, you never lose speed through a shared connection with other homes or businesses." For anyone familiar with the OSI Model, it means that you get a direct connection to Layer 3. :D

Edit #3: I work for an ISP (not xMission). That's why I'm so passionate about this sort of stuff. The ISP I work for, however, does fixed wireless service. They serve mostly suburban and rural areas where cable Internet isn't available. Networking is a pretty cool subject.

Nowadays there are lot of sites available to check your internet speed.Recently I checked my internet speed at Scanmyspeed.com .I got accurate results.
My Results are
