Download Speed: 16.81 Mbps

Upload Speed: 730 Kbps

Roadrunner/Time Warner (Northeast Ohio/Northwest Pennsylvania)

I was told that within a month, my speed will be boosted to 50 Mbps download. :)

Should be 100Mbps (accorded to the subscription)

On subscriptions, don't they say "Up to"? That is an awesome speed either way! :)

Shaw just updated their Extreme package to 25/2.5

speedtest result is pretty flimsy.

kubuntu torrent download is fluctuating between 2400 - 2800 kbytes/s

bandwidth cap is still the same old 100GB/mo (ugh) but so far they don't enforce it... my usage this month is about 3x that :p

Let's find out what how much we are either getting ripped off or rewarded!.

ISP - Sky LLU

Sorry, but before we even start this, we need to be clear about 'Caps', you say yours is 'unlimited', but is the FUP been enforced on people with high usage? Because it's my understanding that it is. Also, make sure you say 'MB' and not 'Mb'.

ISP - Be*

Caps - Unlimited (FUP hasn't been enforced on any heavy users, yet)

Price ?18

"Mb" is quite right when measuring internet connection speed.

MB = Megabyte

Mb = Megabit

You have a 24 megabit internet connection, not 24 megabyte.

ISP - Virgin Media

Speed up to 50Mb down/5Mb up (getting ~40Mb down/5Mb up)

Cap - unlimited. No FUP as far as I'm aware.

Price - ?35/month.

The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information storage or transmission with two different values depending on context: 1048576 bytes (220) generally for computer memory;[1][2] and one million bytes (106, see prefix mega-) generally for computer storage.[1][3] The IEEE Standards Board has decided that "Mega will mean 1 000 000", with exceptions allowed for the base-two meaning.[3] In rare cases, it is used to mean 1000?1024 (1024000) bytes.[3] It is commonly abbreviated as Mbyte or MB (compare Mb, for the megabit).

Haven't read of any enforcements on the LLU service, and you better inform the majority of ISPs that it's MB, not Mb.
