What's your Downloading Speed?

At least thats what they where trying to offer me with their supposed FIOS. 10Mbps down but 384kbps up. I told them if its FIOS, then their upload should be faster. I already get 768Kbps up with DSL. They told me their FIOS doesn't go higher. I told them, how is that possible, it fios!? They're like, "sorry." So I told them, once you get it faster, call me back.

Cable FIOS isn't. They try to call it that because their backend is fiber optic, but the connection to you is copper. Crap! I have Verizon FIOS, and the fiber is run right to my house. I get 20Mbps down and 5 Mbps up. For $20 extra a month, I could make it 20 up and down, but I don't need it - my connection is fast enough...

I voted 500 kbps because that's what one test said, but then this test here says I'm over 5000 kbps:

Edit: Well late last night/early this morning I was getting 40,000 consistently, so I went back to try today thinking that it would be less during the day, wrong. Now I'm getting 60,000+
I would think that my location (the sticks) I would be getting less than this, I'm signed up for a 10meg broadband connection from Charter Communications.

I'm waiting for Wi-Max or something like it in the near future. In the meantime I have DSL. Not sure what as I thought I had 1.5mbp down and 500k up, but testing just showed about 4mbp up and 650k down. I can stream Netflix - full stereo or surround - no problem.
