Who has the fastest internet?

[blm]

Verizon went to my moms house in south jersey and wired her house for free. they spent like 3 days digging in the yard and wiring shit up in the basement. they did it for the whole town. anyway, her internet is fast as hell. but the only time you can tell is when you are downloading big files etc. in terms of internet browsing and stuff like that, you cant tell the difference between 6000 kb/s or 100000000 kb/s. both load pages faster then you can blink. in other words, for her, it was a waste because she only goes to sites like yahoo and check her email. lol

True. In terms of basic browsing the typical speeds are very comparable. The big difference is when you actually use it or for something demanding such as downloads and online gaming. They offer and are capable of much higher speeds, with consistent ping times and lower latency.

Hell a large percentage of customers down here are seniors and they have 20 and 50Mbps packages. They have no idea what the difference is between either one, but the soulless sales people convince them it's necessary.

lmao at redback. is that supposed to be high speed bro? are you supposed to be getting faster?

So, I download at appx. 8803 kbps, but it can't test the upload speed for some reason.

Is that for cable and Dsl?
Over here if your on cable and exceed your usage you get slowed to dial up and then charged 15cents a meg, well with my provider at least.

[NewbieChris]

Comcast is unlimited. I think it couldn't read my upload because of the way my roomie has the router configured. He whores out our entire connection 'sharing' shit, so each computer is limited to a certain upload or something like that. I don't know, I got lost when he was explaining it to me.
