What's your home net connection these days?
Here in Straya the government's official position is that the Internet is something exclusively used by terrorists and paedophiles, so net speeds are a bit of a political football.
I'm very fortunate to live in an area where network upgrades had already been irreversibly scheduled before the last election so I'm on 100mb/s fibre. When nzg was born I think I was on 28.8k dialup. What's "normal" for nzg these days? |
Connection and throughput are fairly consistent @ ~30/10Mbps.
|
what tech? over copper?
|
Speedtest gives me ~13 mb/s over copper (Forrest Hill / Milford - AKL).
(Scheduled for fibre upgrade after June 2016 and before July 17.) |
10Mbit ADSL. Tried to get 50Mbit cable, but Vodafone couldn't find my new flat in their database, even though the cable from previous tenants is in the lounge ready to be plugged into.
*randomly terminates the cable with various loads and 9V batteries to piss off Pimp-X* |
rural alberta canada
25mbit/3mbit fibre repackaged from a small ISP in town over coax could upgrade to 50/5 for like $20/month but havent really been using the net a lot lately so meh 100mbit/10 fibre is avail but i need some electrical work done to get it edit: this time last year was dodgy as shit 10mbit cable that dropped out all the time thank you telus for hooking up fibre across rural canada :D |
Fibre options for me with Telecom/Spark is:
30/10 100/20 200/20 Auckland Bigpipe (another ISP, part of spark) offers 200/200. Could be an option. If you're in Dunedin and you have fibre, you're able to get 1000/500. |
We've been on cable since the Saturn days - currently on 50/2 Unlimited and after some recent upgrades are back to getting fullspeed downloads at peak times (9pm etc).

105/20 cable in Oakland, CA. Well that's what I'm paying for, I don't think I'm getting that, but I don't care enough to check

Vodafone: $99|80GB|100/20Mbps Inspire: $100|100GB|100/20Mbps ($85+voip) - plus a waitless/menuless helpdesk Vodafone do an unlimited plan for $10 more, Inspire's is $5 more for 500GB, which is more reasonable IMHO |
Clarification: I was looking at the VDSL plans that are pretty much at the same pricing or more as most other ISP's unlimited, for a paltry 50G.
|
might be saying something about that technology

This is more a reflection of Inspire's lack of buying power I feel. *Actrix is still around, lol |
|
I'm on fibre. 100/50, unlimited through Orcon.
|
VDSL
36/10 |
60/10 VDSL. Very happy.
|
UFF Fibre 200/200 here. Had to be some reason to live in the tron...
|
Vodafone naked VDSL here. Speed test consistent 35/10 regardless of time. Unlimited data for $79 a month. Fibre is laid in the street but I'm flat 5/6 and it's not worth the effort. My work is 600m away and we have spark fibre 100/50 consistently 95/25 on speed test.
|
100/50 Fibre with 2d~

100*/20/unlimited with orcon, fibre
goes good. *actually get 105 |
Well after 4 months of 2Degrees not delivering what I was paying for and being impossible to get to the support desk I moved to MyRepublic 200/100 Gamer plan and saved approx $20 a month.
All good after a week or so. |
Just put in a 55/30 vdsl connection at the bach before Xmas.
|
workmate's bach is on a beach with only a lowly rural wireless option should he want data. he's found that spark *just* maintain cellular signal out there whereas with vodafone there's nothing (but magically allows you to 'drive' a call out there and as soon as you disconnect you lose reception).
it's a funny location yet doesn't miss the usual beach going visitors and isn't far from civilisation. he's considering putting up an antenna for his phone ... but then keeps flipping back to how he actually likes to be incommunicado out there. |
*sigh* Fibre rollout pushed from midyear to 2018.
|
My first home PC had a 14.4k modem. I think I had upgraded to 28.8k by the time Bloodrain 1 started.
|
Sigh... but I do live in the French Alps so relatively speaking it's amazing. |
We have pretty dire ADSL at about 3Mb/s down and .8Mb/s up. Looking at the fibre rollout map we are not scheduled until at least 2018.
But wait, the house over the back fence has up to 200Mb/s fibre available now... I wonder if they would be willing to share. |

Yay ! |
Jelly of speeds in Dunedin. 1Gbit/sec is easily achievable there. Its crazy.
Some older mechanical hdd can't keep up apparently. |
yes, all we need now is to go back to the days of dc++ and set your ppp credentials to jetstream/jetstream and randomly get full speed, unlimited, national only traffic
