So tell us, what is your Internet speed?

Here's mine:

[Aaron]

56k here

[.John.]

7Mbps DSL

Blows you ALL out of the water...

[giggsey]

512K here, although I wouldn't say no for 2Meg.

Not bad for $4 more then dialup with unlimited bandwidth

Holy crap, can I borrow some of your download speed?

DSL > Cable

DSL is constant, as Cable fluxuates.

Sure, you are capable of higher speeds than me - but not most of the time.

My speed is the EXACT same 24/7

Sure, would you like it via Air Mail or First Class. You can pay for the handling and shipping though.

Actually, I do not have the normal cable package that is typically offered like the TV ads. I have the Comcast Workplace - Enhanced package, and it is as follows:

Download speeds up to 5 times faster than a T-1. It is the ultimate high-speed service.
• Connection Speeds: Up to 8 Mbps* downstream and 1 Mbps* upstream
• Features: Business E-mail, Firewall/Router
• Options: Static IP addresses, Web Site Solutions
• Priority Business Class support

So, while it may or may not be as constant as yours, it is better than most...

Okay, maybe you beat me martin at peak speeds (although not constant), but I'm sure you pay a hefty penny for your internet.

While, I pay - nothing!

That's right, free DSL!

You're correct, mine is not free but as a business, I wouldn't expect it to be. I demand dependability for my business as my income depends on it. I am curious though, as are others, how you are able to receive DSL free. I dare not make an assumption of pre-judgement without knowing all the facts first...

[.John.]

My Mom works for SBC, so we get free DSL.

Along with discounted cell phones (and service), satellite TV, long distance, among other things.

I sort of figured it was something like that...

Yes, that's on the short list of advantages of still living at home.

[weatherlover427]

I wish I could have done that when my uncle still worked for SBC. And received the speeds that you did (mine only went to 3mb/sec).

[.John.]

Well, my Mom is the Engineering Manager for all of Cleveland and the surrounding area.

So, she's pretty high up the chain, due to her like eons of working there (like 25 years) - so we get free/discounted stuff.

Most SBC employees don't get any free some, and most still don't even get discounts.

[weatherlover427]

When my uncle worked at our local SBC headquarters, he was sort of systems engineer (he helped design load-scalability and redundancy systems or something like that for our area here in southern California). He was also in a bit on some pre-testing that SBC was doing for "extreme DSL" that would have the speeds that Verizon FiOS currently has.
