_sigh_ 4.94 Mbps down, .70 up. Central Victoria, Australia. When the NBN (National Broadband Network) is available at this address, speeds “up to” 100 Mbps are promised, even in its neutered form. We’ll see - we’ll certainly jump on it as soon as it’s available. ---

About 15 MB down, 20 MB up, from my laptop on wifi, in Northern California. We are paying for 18/18; I figure if I was on the desktop that’s directly connected to the router, I ought to get at least that. ---

2 megabit down, .3 up. Verizon DSL in rural Virginia. Best connection I can get but at least it’s unlimited. Netflix works fine. Downloading big files takes forever. More than one person can’t do anything bandwidth intensive at once. ---
