I have 20 MBPS fibre optic the fastest possible in my area as of yet, I bought a $100 DSL modem, and the monthly ISP bill only costs a mere $5.00 more per month than the snail paced 3 MBPS I used to have so my bill is $39.95 per month. Anyone still on something frustratingly slow call your ISP to see what it would cost to get a speed boost it may be more reasonable than imagined.
I can't use SpeedTest.net, I have Adobe Flash Player disabled on purpose.
Came across this article. So that maid me wonder and worry how bad are our internet really is.
I've seen on a few forums over the years about South Africa having Internet that's on and off. One member on a forum complained about that, he also complained about electricity doing the same. However here in the U.S.A. during the thunderstorm season in the spring which begins in just one month having the electricity go out is common.
DSL for $25 a month, terrbile customer service, terrible speeds, and no other ISP reaches my neck of the woods. There was talk about higher speeds being available but bears must of ate the line workers or something.

If CenturyLink is available in your area look into them. Note that you'll probably pay more than $25 per month but your speed will be much better.
I envy anyone with upstream/upload speeds over 1 Mbps, according to CenturyLink the fastest upstream speed in my area of Iowa is at 0.896 which is really slow.
I can only dream for the Fiber, will most likely cost an arm and a leg added a kidney
$70/mo for 1000/1000 uncapped,
$120/mo for 1000/1000 uncapped + TV service
I can't complain much about my internet (other than it's not fast enough for my browsing habits) because Cablevision is actually a good ISP, compared to TWC, Comcast, et al.
Should be interesting to see what happens with the TWC/Comcast merger.

Let me put it in simple term, South Africa has "10mb/s" lines but IF, IF you are lucky you will get 3 - 5 mb/s.
That being said, we aren't CLOSE so that speeds nor cable, Fiber isn't even available to public and will not be for a long time.
