What type of Internet speeds do you have at your home?

We moved into a new home two years ago, and one of the few complaints I have is that we're only able to get ATT DSL as a high-speed connection.

As a result, we're limited to about 5.25mb down/.65mb up!

I'm curious to see what fellow wooters are getting at home for internet speeds. What kinda geek doesn't like comparing numbers =)

I'm currently using Time Warner turbo boost or whatever they call it. I receive up to 15 Mbps down and up to 1 Mbps up. But really I get about 12 Mbps down and probably 600 Kbps up.

As of right now, I don't have too many complaints (other than cable+internet costs over $100 on the "promo pricing", I wonder what the non-promo price will be).

Speedtest.net tells me I'm getting 24.36 Mb/s down and 3.79 Mb/s up having comcast.

Same company as @hackman2007, Time Warner with their fastest option available. Getting 29.32 Mb/s for download, .9 for upload which doesn't matter to me a whole lot. All in all, I'd say not too shabby, considering my last two ISP's were Norlight (slower than molasses in winter), and dial-up.

Verizon FiOS 35/35 plan.

According to Speedtest.net, my bandwidth is 43 Mbps down and 12.5 Mbps up.

I love my FiOS.

300 bps, maybe 480 on a good day.... ;-)

Actually 6 mb/s.

U-verse, 6 Mb/s. Fast enough to stream in HD, plenty fast enough for gaming and web browsing. Not a heavy downloader. I actually upgraded from 3 to 6 a few months ago, and can notice the difference with streaming, but I'm not sure that a similar increase from 6 up to 12 (or whatever the next tier is) would be as noticeable.

@djp519: Exacty same situation. U-verse doin: 6 down 1 up, seems to be barely enough to stream HD content

@durkzilla: FiOS? Never heard of it - and just looked it up. I guess that's like Verizon's version of U-verse eh? Looks awesome, but super limited coverage... Bummer woud've liked to explore that option

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
