Survey - What Is Your Internet Connection Speed?

[Link]

This is another quick survey to see what kind of internet connection speed ArchiCAD users around the world have access to.

If you have a spare moment would you please visit www.speedtest.net and select a pyramid nearest you to begin the test. It's quite a cool test and after about 30 seconds it will display your download and upload speeds.

If you could reply with a quick post in this format:


City:
Country:
Download Speed: xxxx kbps
Upload Speed: yyyy kbps

I would much appreciate it. If you have multiple locations (eg. home and office), please feel free to include them all.

Thanks for your time!

Cheers,

Think I need to move to Christchurch

[Laszlo Nagy]

My new net speed.
It is kind of nice.
Costs about 15 USD/month.

For the future, it would be interesting to see how much net costs in the various countries.

Not funny. $70US for ±40 Dn 4 Up

[Karl Ottenstein]

Also very jealous of Laszlo. I'm now 7 down, 0.8 up for $30. (Another site in town is 40 down, 5 up for $20. Go figure.)

I was really impressed with internet service in Hungary when visiting earlier in the month - every town we visited, and the cell service, was all higher speed than is typical here. Not just the information 'highway', the roads were even better than most Montana roads. 😉

Of course the speed reported by user costingh for 10 euro/month is really astonishing. Time to move to Romania? 😉

[Laszlo Nagy]

Actually, that 1000 Mbps Internet connection he mentioned is provided by a Hungarian company both in Hungary and Romania.
That speed is pretty insane, my sister just ordered one for her home. I tried it once when I was visiting her and it took less than one second to download a 40 MB update to an app on my smart phone over WIFI. It was literally a blink of an eye.
Too bad it is not available everywhere yet.

But I think this is one case where being a small country is a huge advantage because building out these networks costs a lot of money and the US is a huge country.

Funny you say Hungarian roads are good. They are normally the subject of public ridicule. I guess Hungarians have never been to Montana.

Actually only needed to move to Cambridge, not Christchurch.
