Ok, first of all, i put the answers this way because most people wouldn't know otherwise.

The fastest i've ever downloaded something on my connection was 2.4 MB/s, upload is around ~700 KB/s i think. And basically what ever game i play (gears, TF2 ect) i have a pretty flawless host.

I think it's about time people upgrade their connections instead of complaining about lag.

I work for my local cable company (not releasing name but...) our standard internet as the potential to get 10 Mb/s download & 1 mb/s upload

I average about 3.5 - 4 Mb/s dwn, not sure of the up speed

Ok, quick question, midly off topic, but I don't want to make a thread about it.

Is a 614kbps connection fast enough to play Xbox Live on? If so, is it quick enough to play through a wireless connection?

is that how fast you've downloaded something or what your internet company told you? If that's how fast you've downloaded something than that's fine. I first started playing XBL when my download speed was around 250 KB/s. It wasn't great but i had no problem enjoying it.

It's obvious why most people put "2001+" ... they don't know the difference between a bit, and a byte.

8 bits = 1 byte

EX: 5000 Kbps = 625 kB/s

I have DSL, and if no one's on my Internet connection, I get about 650 kB/s download. It's not Verizon FiOS, but it'll do.

Lol, the poll's fine - it's just some people aren't aware of the difference (bit vs. byte). Speed tests, like speedtest.net and others, give primary results in Kbps.

And wow, you're lucky - Canadians get absolutely milked. We have pretty slow connections (generally), and the faster packages aren't really that fast, have ridiculous caps (like 60 GB/month), and cost insane amounts of money.

My Internet alone costs $55 CAD for the speed I mentioned before.

Correct me if im wrong because im not very educated in this department. But i usually download demos in about 2 mins and movies in about 10. does that seem right.

I have 10MByte/s upload and 10MByte/s download. On average I get a download speed of 750-1000 kb/s, and an average upload speed of 600-900 kb/s. Planning on getting 100/10 very soon.

I live in Sweden.

thats only because of turbo/speed-whatever-boost. its only active for a few mb's then it goes back to normal speed... just enough to "trick" the speedtests, oh well.

You people have insanely fast connections, which in Canada, would probably only be available if you're willing to pay $200/month. Wow, America wins again.
