What type of internet connection do you have ?

Cable: 10M/512K unlimited

Recently upgraded from a 5MBit line to an 8MBit line, and the difference is amazing.

I have a question. I am guessing most of you live in America (or other than NZ anyway). Do you guys have a limit on your connection. As in for my connection i can upload and download a max of 10GB and then my connection is slowed down to dial up speed. Is it like this where you live?

It really doesn't work like that in the US. When an ISP sets a bandwidth cap, it's more of a scare tactic, more often than not the connection just keeps on going at the same speed and rarely you're contacted about the overage, and even more rarely the client is repremanded.

Normally the caps are set pretty high for basic internet users anyway, around 70GB or so. 10GB is rather tiny, considering you can download that much in a few days of playing Half-Life 2 DM or UT2k4, those maps are pretty hefty files sometimes.

Thanks for the answer.

You know for a "First World" country, NZ has a really crappy internet connection.

Oh well, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I think in December NZ's internet gets upgraded to unlimited. Well I sure as hell hope so or else my ISP is gonna have one very angry customer to deal with.

Cable 5.09mbs the highest test score I've gotten. Anybody got any stats on comcast rental modem? I was thinking of getting my own if that would help my speeds.
