My upload varies on what server i select... Ft worth vs dallas.
dallas was better over all though.
I only have a std cable connection and modem.

Just got Verizon FIOS installed two days ago. These speeds were from a laptop on my 802.11g network. My old provider, Optimum Online (Comcast) had extremely varying speeds after ~10pm. My ping would jump to over 1000ms, and dl/ul speeds could be anywhere from 0-500kbps.

Must be nice to be able to get some sort of broadband with some sort of good speed at a somewhat fair price..........
Your UL speeds are faster than my DL speed, I guess that's what I get for wanting to live out in the country.

Nate, how in the world do you have such wicked upload speeds? That is beyond drool-worthy.

Well, I guess Fiber Optics are pretty fast.
Verizon FIOS is currently offering three different internet packages in my area:
DL: 20mbps
UL: 5mbps
$52.99/mo <- what I get currently
DL: 10mbps
UL: 2mbps
$42.99/mo
DL: 20mbps
UL: 20mbps
$64.99/mo
Frankly, I'm more impressed with my ping. 20ms from a wireless laptop is great, and my main machine (connected directly to the router) pings NYC in 8 to 10ms. My pings climbed to over 1 SECOND in the evenings with Optimum Online.
From what I hear, Verizon may start offering TV service over fiber optics in my area as early as next week. Competition is a great thing.

Those prices aren't to bad really, I'm paying $50 a month for only 512k/128k with extremely limited bandwidth (7.5 gig rolling 30 day period) with my satellite service.
$65 for 20Mbps upload?!?!?!
I pay $45 per month for 7Mbps down and 512Kbps up. The most expensive package is $100, which ups the speed to 18Mbps down and 1Mbps up... complete ripoff.
Kudos to Verizon. I wish something like that was available in my area.
sbrehm, your internet speeds make me want to cry.

It does hurt.............
, but that's the only option we have out here outside of dial-up...............The bad thing is that less than a 1/4 mile from the house is the main fiber trunk line that runs between the 2 towns out here and we're not even on the planning list to get any real sort of highspeed for the next 5 years.
Greg is in a somewhat similar situation... it sucks. He's a little further than that from town, but there are close neighborhoods that have at least cable I believe.
WiMax needs to succeed, I think.

I hope that something positive comes out of all the 700 MHz auction stuff that the FCC is holding, it looks like it might be about the only solution for us folks that live way out in the country.
There is another new tech that Japan is working with here lately which would be nice if it was brought over here to North America, they put up a new type of satellite a few weeks ago that can offer true broadband to their part of the world, they are talking up to 1.2 GB download speeds. I'll see if I can find the link again.

Well, working for the company that provides the service is a plus, I pay 3.00 a month, that's just for the modem rental and it also has phone service on the same modem VOIP.
It's nothing like vonage, vonage is voip over the entire internet, My VOIP is only in the network to the phone ring, one single network, no over the other tracerts that vonage has. so there are more problems with the V company.
