My upload speed is godlike. The server in Saskatoon is crap. I get way better results from basically any other server. It has a 100+ ping while the Edmonton and Calgary servers are 40-50.
I tested all 4 Bay Area servers, just to see what my ping would be to them. They never calculate it right, I get 25-35 ping on the PC Gamer TF2 server.
Upload is pathetic. Adding insult to injury, they offer 6Mb up/1Mb down for the same price now, but mine still retains the old speed. I haven't bothered mentioning it to them because I'm going to switch ISPs soon anyway.
Usually I get better d/l and u/l speeds than that, but I think I have some stuff going on in the background. Plus there's about 14 other people sharing the same connection in my house, it's better during some off hours.
I live in Florida. For this area, and most of the USA, this is actually a decent broadband connection. That's so sad when you factor in places like South Korea, parts of western Europe, and Japan. The biggest problems with the USA getting better broadband for everyone are (1) the size and geography of the USA and (2) cable and phone companies are reluctant to lose control and money to the internet. Hopefully things which Google are planning will spread to populated areas of the US. Then again, they have to anyway, whether the media/communication giants want them or not.
wow, that's impressive speed stats. the usa sucks and is quite laughable in comparison. i don't even know what i would do with such speeds like that at my disposal.
I always wondered why people have such nice download speeds yet absolutely pitiful upload speeds. "
There are various reasons like infrastructure cost, DOCSIS standards and also trying to prevent people from running servers using consumer priced broadband.
It's a great service though, reliable speeds and it's truly unlimited (no enforced FUP). All for £35/month.
TBH I barely ever notice the upload speed is so low, even things like small TF2 and Ventrilo servers run fine. The only annoyance is when I need to upload massive images and InDesign files to our work FTP server - that can be frustrating.
It's also getting upgraded to 100Mb down and 10Mb up in September, which is nice.
@BaskervilleManor: I live in central florida slong the space coast and i have Road Runner as my ISP and i get higher, but then again we are also paying for there "Turbo service". Do you have Brighthouse for cable?
@BaskervilleManor: Yeah, there reaches a point where most of the speed is wasted. As nice as it is being able to download full movies in a minute or two, it's really not necessary. I'm certainly not going to complain though.
Here's mine
And here is my ping

I pay £15/$23 dollars for this.
however my bandwidth is not so much of a win.........
To be fair, I was torrenting something plus downloading something else on the side, but...

it's usually 25/25.
Not great, get a peak download speed of about 900KB/s though which isn't bad.

No sir, that's fucking gargantuanly intensely amazingly awesome.
