My Work (horrendous!):
My Home (MUCH betta):
I have Fios as well...though only pay for the basic 15mB service.
How much is that running you?

Too Much!!!
Mines bigger...

Thought I'd Share
This is at my work on a normal running day.

These are my speeds at work. I think my home connection may actually beat them. How sad.
Home is a little faster down and slower up, go figure.

Whoa! Now that's some band width!

My company uses XO for our network and it works pretty well.
Do you work for XO or do you just use them?

Worst than this one no exists...
I bet that any other country in the world gives you that bad service and expensive!!!
I pay monthly $40US dollars for this sh.....
If anyone know a trick to have more power...........
Cheers

Holy Moly.... Don't ever try and Upload anything, ever... Damn.

Mine's in my sig, it's what I have on internet sharing, not very high, but works quite well ! Especially considering the cost.

mine is also utterly pathetic.
The one i'm using right now (not at home) is 11m down and 2m up, but my home connection is 3m down and 350k up.
I need more upload for my youtube, and more download is never a bad thing.

Hmm...and here I was thinking that I had this really fast connection...
...Guess not.

TPG ADSL2+ 150GB (40GB peak, 110 offpeak) AU$69.99/month
Australia's got some pretty crap internet connection - mainly upload wise.. so expensive too.
EDIT: second attempt:

You would think the server closesest to ya would give the best results. I live in the Dallas area, and when using the Dallas server I get....
Using the server in Houston, the results are.....
Using one in Canada has these results....
This is to be expected since most of their infrastructure up there is still tin cans and string.

Your Kaiser and your spermies

Recent article on CNN I'm sure you all saw:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/09/18/cellphone.sperm/index.html?iref=newssearch
The article says cell phones left in talk mode in your pocket can affect sperm quality significantly. As if nerds needed any MORE trouble breeding.
Anyway, nobody leaves there cell phone in talk mode while its in your pocket unless your using bluetooth. You do leave it in talk mode next to your head as well. If the radiation affects your "gonads" then surely its affecting other cells as well, including our brains. Obviously telling our cell phones to poll our email servers and bring in new messages every x amount of minutes while there in our pockets uses the radio as well, probably equivalent of leaving it in talk mode.
How much radiation does our Kaiser, or any pocket pc, put out compared to an ordinary cell phone?
Should we put away our fancy toys?
Discuss.
Since 'no' is too short of a reply I've been forced to write this out explaining that 'no' is too short of a reply, in any case, no.
Marvel has proven that radiation does anything but weaken the human body.
It explains why women just SEE me using my phone and get themselves pregnant.
I always knew those brass ones would come in handy someday...
I belive most handsets are/can be no more then 1/2 a watt.
Mine were swimming in circles anyway. THC FTW.
Well, mine checks email every 5 minutes. My wife and I are 4 months along LOL. I dont think you guys have anything to worry about
Unless mine are just superswimmers to start with
It's how buster got his
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Gonad
=-o Really?
SO.... I will put my Kaiser to RecyclationBin
No. I'm kidding.
BTW: Do you know as phones "sending" microwaves?
So... Wih more than 2 phones you can made popcorn :-D
Mine are just fine....

We don’t have a icon for beer in our forum, but can have a thread now.
Will start with mine:
Kingfisher Strong
Jeva is pretty good
dam a favourite that for me is pretty hard but have to say Asahi has to be my favourite or czech budweiser. One of them.
Always had a taste for Heineken or selected micro-brews, myself. Or when I was poor Coors Lite

Chris, Normally beers at my place will have alcohol contents in range of 4.5% v/v to 8% v/v. I dont remember exact content of Black Fort but it used to be some where neer 10%. It had a very watery taste, didnt like it. Only thing is that it made u high quickly

Register it!
Very funny....but thinking about the i-junkies' tendency I highly recommend to register all the i-names to make money without moving our a.s.s
I personally want to register the trademark, i-pee.....it is the upcoming catheter all the i-junkies would be using when they get enlarged prostate.
You people have any of your own?

Poor Iran. They get to watch jpg's built line by line.
I'm at the average for the states.
good day.
I'm not even in the chart LoL
Damn, my connection is below average... It takes me an average of 9 minutes to download a new ROM haha!

Wahey I got over double the average
Sent from my hd2 desire
Oh yeah... i guess you got virgin 50mb 2 mile wide band!!!
Lucky!
I think I'm doing good then.
0.01 above average!!!!!! Woooo!
7 mb above the average was always lucky, cosmos love me
Almost double the average now.
Nice to see that my connection speed is only beaten by the Koreans. Heartbreaking to see so much of the world still struggling with below par connections though.
Read somewhere today about some community in California getting gigabit connections. I think it was 1000mb/s down, 100mb/s up for $69. I dont even know what I would use that kind of speed for.
Hmm, can't see Norway on that list, but i have 20Mb/sek
Well my work connection speed is way below average but at home I get 27mb max and I've gotton 10mb upload
Woo! I have FiOS so I pay for 50mbit up 50mbit down. I normally get 55mbit down and 47mbit up.

Low activity on xda: no wifi at Parent's? :)

Everyone at parent's home for the holidays?
People would rather spend time with their children/relatives etc., its more important than XDA. Who wouldn't?
Always with my parents, still a high schooler.
I know right! Christmas eve is over! Get back to work people! (With work, i mean XDA!) I'm sooo alone
