    My home connection is slow, because it is just a cell phone modem, but right now it is especially pathetic for some reason:

    I think I've now got both the highest and lowest reported speeds in the thread.

    As a side note, I'm pretty sure Tacoma is not <50 miles from Portland.

    I don't think I could cope with those sort of speeds. My internet was recently throttled to 5000kbs up and 1meg down -- it was unbearable.

    It depends on what you do - I mostly read/send email, and post here. Neither requires much bandwidth. If I needed to look at a lot of porn, though, I'd have to do it at work.

    Yeah I get way more than what I'm supposed to get. I think they have it as 12M/3 or 4M.

    They've also been very good, whenever I had questions, etc. I run two computers on this now, plus phone through internet (lot of intl calls), and also iptv to catch 25 channels from my country. (all through internet)

    Lot of times all are running at the same time and speed stays the same. Also ps3 online now. lol
