Some of you had mentioned that you had limits on your internet. I was always pleased to say I don't have any limits.

On the day after my birthday, AT&T is going to give me 150GB max per month. Nice (late) birthday gift, assholes.

Please share your internet's rated down/up speeds, actual down/up speeds (http://speedtest.net/). how much you pay, and if you have limited bandwidth...

You have the fastest download and upload speed so far; you have the most strict download limit at the same time.

I think if I had good speeds like that, I wouls use up 20GB in like a day

Then you would have to bear with the 64Kbps download speed for the rest of the month, if you were in Australia.

According to "speedtest.net", my internet is 239 times faster than 56k dialup.

Kong, thats a really good deal!

TalkTalk are really cheap, and they give good deals for home phones too i.e. if you stay with them for a certain amount of time, you get free caller ID.

Nice! I'm thinking of starting a web host (yes that means I need fast internet lol)...but I'm only going to do that when the 2yr hosting of this site is over!
