Tier-1's actually only 1.54M-Bit, so you're above it.. for download speed anyway

What are the speeds for T2 ? Am I at the same level (I connect at 2.4Mbits/s) ? A little under ?
Before my isp upgraded my dsl line, I had a classic 512/128 connection. Now, my dsl connection is seen as LAN connection, though my pc is a standalone one. Only way to disconnect is to unplugg the usb modem from the phone line. I find it a little amazing for a home internet connexion, but it works like charm, the pc connects to the Internet just a few seconds (4-5) after XP finished loading.
By the end of the year, I'll get a Voice over IP phone line (no extra charge) and tv also (which means they'll broaden my dsl connexion to 8Mbits/s, 2.4Mbits for the Internet and the rest for phone+tv).

Is there such offers in other countries than France ?

Look at this, Isin't it fast?

ermmm...that 100mbps is what your network adapter is connected at I think....go to this url... ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test64 ...and let the file start downloading until its about 50% done...then look at your download rate....that will give you an idea about your speed

 

[SPeedY_B]

Heh, connection (to your connectivity device) is so misleading
I'm connecting to my modem with a gigabit ethernet port (although I think the modem will only connect at 100mb, plus I'm only using CAT5, heh) and yet it's only utilizing 512k of the connection.

Recently (2 days ago) got upgraded to 4Mbit down and 3MBit up from mangosurf/bulldogdsl - 'tis v. sweet downloads are lightening fast.. much better than when i was on 512/256 line.

I think I might switch from this crap cable internet connection to DSL soon. I get like 3Mbit down, but only 256Kbit up

I’ve had BT Broadband (576/250) for a month now. It seems average enough when compared to my old 56k connection. Download speeds of around 50kb per sec are the norm almost at any time of the day. My problem with this service relate to the high cost and almost hourly attack by various viruses and Trojan’s. This peaked when I was configuring a new XP PC and using my normal BT connection without my firewall and virus checker (by mistake) to update XP found that within less then ten minutes the new machine had been infected by more than eight viruses and three Trojan’s. Surprisingly XP had recorded this in its log files. Norton Internet security refused to install and I had to re-partition the hard drive and start again.

I would like the option to be able to change my IP address at will as I’m sure that this will confuse the attackers. Anyone know how to achieve this when you have a “always on connection”?

How can you be happy and sad at the same time?

If you really want to know your Upload/Download speed go here and test your connection:

My proof, im gettinga bit slower than my normal 900 KB/sec, as some lamer on a node here is uploading and downloading at the same time at full speed. He is going to get disconnected tommorow though, as its all warez =).
