Just out of curiousity (and boredom) how fast is your internet connection? You can get a free test here: http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/
Post your speeds and your connection type. 
High speeds will be applauded, low will be ridiculed. 
My speed: ~2.4 (over 3 tests) (faster than T-1! Wow!) Connection: Cable
1.1 Mbps That’s wireless 802.11b connected to comcast cable modem.
Meh…148 kilobits. Thats a wireless connection via pci to my toshiba cable modem, which hopefully explains the reason that my internet is much, much slower than average connecticut cable.
(802.11b)
Heh. I’m still stuck on 640k/180k DSL. Same price ($50/mo) and same speed since we first got it 4 years ago. It’s a rip-off… but there’s no competition.
I got 2.4 megabits per second. This is through a SMC router then through my Motorola cable modem. This was all hard wired, I didn’t have any of my laptops on to go through my wireless cards (802.11b) and my D-Link base antannea first before going to the router.
I used to have either 1.6 or 1.8 Mbps for $40 per month but that was only a trial and now I’m at about 300K. 
I’ll be switching to 1.6 Mbps DSL for $30 per month.
1.4 megabits per second for a DSL, pretty good.
I love my DSL, i just switched my old slow and boring dial up, i am glad i did. LOL
Wow… And I thought my Cable Modem speed was slow… I guess not.
3.2 megabits per second
Communications 3.2 megabits per second
Storage 387.3 kilobytes per second

Subjective rating Awesome
Side note: I tried this test at school a few hours ago, and I got an error that my speed was either too fast or to slow to determine…
I’m guessing too fast!
1.8 mb per second
comcast cable isn’t so bad.

3.4 megabits per second… not bad, considering I’m on a 802.11b connection to a crappy Linksys router, which is connected to a Motorola cable modem.
this is embarassing… I’ll have to redo this at my place:
this is Jack Flash (epix) DSL wireless 802.11b netgear on an old modem

Very good, considering I pay for 1.5 Mbps (187 KB/s) , which means I’m getting 98% of my advertised line speed.
544.4 kilobits per second…and thats me bootlegging 3 giant 4 gig games and downloading 6 full albums
