I have fiber optic internet here in Japan and for about $50 USD per month it’s a pretty good deal for how fast it is. It’s cheaper than my old Comcast cable modem too. Sometimes it seems lightening fast, other times sites from the U.S. load slow but it could be on the other end and not the fault of my ISP. I tested my internet speed today and here are the results. My ISP said it’s a 100mbps line and I’m only getting 25 so I might change my provider to see what other options are like. Click the image to test your speed and feel free to post the results here!
Cost me 50$ CAN + taxes so 10$ = 60$ or so per month in canada for 10mb/s downlaod and 5mb/s upload Theorical.
My real speed on speedtest.net is 12mbs Download and 4mbs Upload.
My provider is Bell.
Dynamic IP.
Email Server Ports are blocked but not WebHosting Ports.
They throttle the Speed for torrents at night when everyone try to download in same time.
I got 75gb limit per month…. sumthing like 2.50$ CAN (2.75 $US) to a max of 60$ of extra + taxes….
So to be “Unlimited like” it should cost me 110$ + taxes = 130$ CAN (135 $ US).
My isp offer 30Mb/s max speed but for muth more money….
An other ISP (Videotron) offer 130mb/s download and 0.8mb/s upload.
They block the common servers ports (25,110,80,443,etc) so you cant even host your own website at home and they give like 100Gb limit per month with no Extra Fee Limit… so if you downlaods 500Bg for the month $$$$$$ bill.
I’ve Got comcrap, im paying $59.99 a month for 17mbps dl and 6 ul, and i barely get 1mbps wired dl when it works,i used to have verizon but then they “accidentily” had their philly HQ/offices burned(comcast raised from $39.99 to $49.99 within that week)i’ve called their douchreport offices(if i can get a english /spanish/ italian speaking person then im ok) but they have mostly out sourced to india where they dont even have electricity(Im talking remote/Rural areas where they still die of child birth remote D:) trust me comcast as a isp is a big no no
Hello, from Brazil here… i have cable internet with 5mb for around 30 dollars (70 reais) the speed and consistency is good but here we get low Upload speed… my connection gives me 512kbps of upload and its really awful for uploading HD videos on youtube. there is no download limit but for me the upload speed is what actually would make a difference.
I’m in Aichi Prefecture near Nagoya. I’m getting 16.3 Mbps download, 20Mbps with the test run on the same site you did yours. Paying about the same too but unlimited up/downloads.
Here in India we have barely 1.5 Mbps at homes for $30 for 20GB.
Wow! well here in Costa Rica you pay for a 2 Mbps about $40 to $80 per month, depending plan, most people stay with 512 to 1 Mbps for $15 – $30, higher connection vary between 5 Mbps for more than $100, to 10 Mbps for more than (crazys) $400 and isn’t quite good enough for that price.
My connection is 3G I pay $20 for it (Unstable and reaching 1 Mbps)
i pay £47 a month for net+phone its supposed to be 100mbit up i get around 98 and 10mbit down i get about 9-10
here in Romania I pay 12 $ for fiber optic, real download speed is 10 Mb\s and unlimited.
I have Comcast. I pay $49.95 mo for the 16mb blast service, I you use a D2 modem your speed is going to be around 8-16mb/s. With a D3 modem, which I purchased myself and saved on rental fees. I get 25Mb/s down and 4.5Mb/s up. I also had to run a new RG-6 line from the ground block to the splitter and home-run to the modem. Also make sure all connections are tight anywhere in the house or you signal will leak causing slower speeds and will cause your connect to drop completely. If you have old obsolete lines in you home, and complaining about speed/phone/video problems, upgrade the line from pole to house (Request a new drop from you ISP). Also request that all connectors are changed to pressure seals (Crip-On connectors leak in the digital world). Those old lines where designed for anolog not digital, use only RG-6 shielded cable or better. This is the biggest problem in most homes, and in most apartment units the lines can not be upgraded (Pre-Wired) unless the management get up off a lot of money. Never leave an unattached cable dangling (leakage #1 problem) from the wall or all your service(s) will be suffer. Hope this help…… ie Cisco Certified Tech.
