ISP=Internet Service Provider

I think it would be interesting to see what internet speeds we get in different countries and how much we pay for that.Your answer should be like this:

1.ping
2.download speed
3.upload speed
4.customer satisfaction
5.price paid

I recommend using http://www.speedtest.net/ and just sharing the result here then go to a online currency converter and convert your local currency to euro/dollars.

Whoa, wish my ISP is that fast, but sadly it can only happen in my dream, heh
Here's my result:
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/2963896302
I paid about 5 USD for 1 month with that speed
When i reach 2GB usage, they will lower the speed to something like 128Kbps, meh

Edit: it's actually a mobile broadband, and i'm quiet happy with it as for now, it's more than enough for my university need

arr..

[mupralsh]

I feel jealous to your connection speed, hah
Am i the only one around here, with that low speed internet?

What kind of connection is that anyway? Looks like mobile 3g speed, and the 2GB cap is usually applied to internet usb modems

it's LAN speed...
my ISP just have a crazy idea which build the whole Hong Kong network into a very large LAN....

since it's centralized by fiber.... the in house wire can just reach the top speed of normal CAT-5 LAN cable.. (100M)

most ISP in Hong Kong also provide 1000M speed, but i don't think it have much different compare with 100M in daily normal use...

[GuilhermeGS2]

OMG! My internet speed is 10Mbps, but I get only 3Mbps more or less

I don't know how much my father pays only in the internet. But he pays about R$ 250 (about USD$ 125) in internet + telephone line + 3 mobile phone line.

Hmm...seems like the upload speed of everyone (except ritori) is lesser than the dload...

[Ritori]

All i need to doing is wait for my net to full speed kinda pain for 3gb for 1 month

[cloud1250000]

Yes, it's actually a 3G mobile broadband, heheh

So it's pretty decent. But it's expensive. I'm currently paying £30 a month for it, but I want to have it downgraded so that it becomes £25, on a student budget that £5 makes a difference.

Price is jacked up more because I don't have a phone line installed. Virgin Media is the only provider in the UK that doesn't require one.

I forget the technological reasons why, but generally upstream is always lesser than the downstream.
