This is somewhat random (for me) but i've just been involved in a chat with a friend of mine (we normally discuss lots of random and unrelated stuff, have since we met each other 8 years ago) and the subject of internet connections came up, the speed of them...
So, I ran mine through Speed test. The result was:
Downlink: 22399 Kb/s
Uplink: 624 Kb/s
I'm on an Assymetric connection, so the Uplink is always slow.
However, on the upside, i'm edging close to 3 MegaBYTES (not bits) per second on the downlink. I regularly download at 2.5 MB/sec, so this is not too surprising - being close to the exchange (it's a DSL line) probably helps lots though.
So, which category does your internet connection fit into? And what speed is it? Also, is it reliable?
