Yes, my Internet is terrible. It's worse when I have to share bandwith with my grandmother when she watches her (ahem) soap operas.
Besides the sucky DSL, the only other option where I live is Comcast. COMCAST. Where they charge people ~$65 for 20Mbs download.
The fact that Verizon and Comcast have a duopoly that would be in blatant violation of anti-trust laws back in Theodore Roosevelt's time really angers me. Add in the fact that I live in the state with the highest average Internet speeds, sandwiched between two of the US's biggest metropolitan areas, and the general frustration of waiting an hour to watch a thirty minute Youtube video, and you get this:
I dunno, but with my luck, my jurisdiction probably outlaws any new ISPs.
EDIT: For some reason, I couldn't even VIEW others' Speedtest results. WTH?

$65/mo for 20mbps isn't horrible at all... I was paying $120/mo for 7/0.7 + home phone until May, when I switched to Mediacom.

Any bandwidth caps? 75mbps must be fun to have at home.
I know you weren't asking me, but it hops up into the 150s sometimes when I'm downloading stuff, like games on Steam, and so on. Dunno the cap 'cause small business line
Relatively fast.

150mbps on a cable line from boosting alone over a 20-30mbps baseline speed?? WUT. If it isn't sustained for at least a few seconds, it's not a real result, I've seen a similar issue with Steam at lines.

It's odd, but sure. And no, sometimes it's for a few minutes on occasions.
Oh. And Hai Battle! XD. Haven't seen you on Bukkit recently... Where are you hiding? >:U
Hmm, probe results look normal. Quite a bit of your upload speed is burst though (but you have a large limit on said burst size).
Bukkit's forums are boring these days... And besides, I have over 5x the amount of posts on MCF than I have at Bukkit. And there's more stuff to respond to here. The amount of posts created every day on Bukkit is pretty low right now.
Edit: I posted on Bukkit, just for you . I'll start visiting it more often, although at this point I'm checking 5 forums on a daily basis.

I have to pay 110$/mo for 20up/3down and only end up getting around 10mbps, 65$ would be awesome to pay...

1) What state/province/region do you live in?
2) You do realize that this is Comcast, right. They have a tendency to do this, alongside being trolls with customer service.
I am quite happy.

My school speed
K95 RGB / Logitech G502 PS / Alienware AW3418DW / ViewSonic XG2703-GS / Sennheiser HD 598
God. I should switch.
My Jaw hit the floor and I don't think it will ever come up again! My lawd, those kind of speeds aren't even possible in my entire country
and, now for my pathetic link...
Take a look at these results if you want your jaw to hit the floor.
