2 years ago in Sydney, I had the same cable speeds as Dave posted.
Since my move to southern Tasmania, I have ADSL which can reach 8Mbps on a good day.

I do a lot less computer stuff than I used to so don't really miss the speed, except when downloading a new release of Linux.  :)

My results are not notable.  Using Orcon ISP in New Zealand.  NZ$75/month.  Is naked DSL, but with a VOIP phone service that has free national landline calls.  :=\

I decided to give a hand and sent a post into social bookmarks. I hope the popularity will rise in.
I'm not going to lie; I literally have no idea what you mean.

mine is '100Mbps' Virgin Media...... never seen it reach 95M+  :(




This is what I'm getting in my parents house in China for 80 RMB (~8 GBP/12USD)/month atm. Half of the internet outside of China is 'harmonised (blocked)' by the authority. I have to use the VPN I set up back in the UK to gain access to FB and Youtube etc.  |O

From what I've heard - they apparently have already got the infrastructure to provide much faster (ie. >100Mbps) through cables (most homes have cable TVs these days), but they don't do it so they can make more money?? :-// Anyway the fastest broadband one can get in non-major cities is 8Mbps :< which doesn't make much sense

Someone told me that they started to block VPNs also :-(

From the network I manage:



and from my home network:



I've had to resort to blocking certain YouTube servers at home in order to get it to fall over to backups which are much faster.   It appears that I share servers with too many other people.  My downloads are always fast,  but YouTube is dog slow if I allow them to use the servers they want me to.
