What y'all downloadin' at?
Turnarcades:
Bit of a random question here, but one I'm really curious about. Living in the UK it's already a given that we get ripped off, so was just wondering what speed internet is the norm where you come from. In the UK the average Joe is on 1 or 2 mb broadband, high users are on between 4 and 8 mb, whilst the top end is 10-20mb, which is around £40 a month for true unlimited downloading.
I'm on 20mb myself, giving a 2.5mb down/768kb a second upload speed, or at full speed, a DVD in about 30 minutes if you like. (Very handy for games, ahem!)
What you all using, and what's the norm in each country?

I just upgraded from 10Mbs cable to 20Mbs ADSL. Amazingly, the price is going down from 40 euro (£27) a month to 20 euro (£13) a month (and no it's not short promotional tarif).
I have no idea what the norm is in the Netherlands. I'd guess somewhere between 2Mbps and 4Mbps, but I could very well be completely wrong.

Just hit pcpitstop for a recent measure:
2595 kbps download
586 kbps upload
56 ms ping
It's ADSL (what they advertise it as.)
I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio.
bvicarious:
20mbps down
10mbps up
ping is anywhere from 10 to 80 ms average
