    my friend keep bragging about his 30 mb down with comcast.

    My dad pays 35 bucks a month just for internet.

    Depends on what country. For the US anything less than 6 Mbps would be slow.

    Could be worse. You could be on 1.5 mb DSL.

    I have a 50mbps connection with 5mbps upload.

    It's sufficient and I get it at an extremely reduced rate so I have no complaints.

    I'm tired of your stereotyping and english hating ways. Even if I cut grass during the day and played world of warcraft while managing my investment portfolio later in the day.

    Who is your ISP?

    Mine is 8 Mbps. :( I live in the country so my provider feeds off the main city's ISP where they get up to 30 Mbps.

    Relative. When I lived in Central Asia, 512 kbps was considered very fast.

    My speed sucks.

    15-20 mb down and 1.5mb up. I live in Nacogdoches (and am stuck with Suddenlink)....so I wouldn't expect too much faster unless I'm on campus.

    I don't want anybody ever talking about how they have slow internet. Here is my internet right now:

    It really doesn't matter as long as it fits your needs. I have 6mb down and .75 up. It fits my needs.

    A fair speed to base it off of is satellite internet. Nearly everyone can get it. There is a satellite provider that offers 12 down and 3 up, but its limited to how much you can download during the month.

    I can't remember if I'm paying for 12mb or 15mb.

    That's the speed I have and it works for me. I don't do a whole lot though aside from YouTube and browsing forums.
