Seeing Ireland and Eastern Europe mentioned specifically in news articles.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

UPC/chello is also giving me a flat rate here, fortunately.

It is pretty much the norm to have caps here. Lack of a cap is the main thing I look for in my broadband supplier.
Which at current is Rupert Murdoch.
Sure I have unlimited broadband but...at what cost. :unsure:

Cybercable/Noos/Numericable was capped in Paris at the turn of the century but then I got broadband in 1998 there. Numericable (linked to Syt's UPC I believe) has not been capped in years.

Yes, the speed test connected me to a Brno/Brünn server to test the connection.

I'm not aware of any ISP in America that provides downstream speeds that high... :hmm:

There isn't.

We're lagging behind because the Telcos spend money on mobile infrastructure instead of the Wired infrastructure.



this is my work internet speed. It is 5 times faster in dl then my home dl speed. The UL speed is 100 faster then my home UL speed.

LOL. And here I thought mine was pretty OK, 5.3 down, 0.6 up, ping 70. Apparently.

That's basically what I have, though I've throttled the download speed down a hair as part of running QoS on my router.

To be fair to America the internet is still new and exciting over there. It is not yet a routine thing that people just expect to work.
