I'm on Bell Sympatico with Hi Speed Ultra -- this test confirms it sucks.
They advertise 5 MBps download / 800 kbps upload.

I get:
Fastest Download:
1934 kb/s
Fastest Upload:
662 kb/s
Average Download:
1160 kb/s
Average Upload:
583 kb/s
 
Can someone test their "Robbers" connection and post how fast it is?

It is a potential max of 5 Mb but also depends on your actual physical connection of your unit. I used to get the 5 Mb in my old place. I have moved since then and now max out at just over 2 Mb. On the Bell site you can do a test on your line to see if High-Speed is supported and they tell you the max you can get. At my current place, it said I was limited to 3 Mb.
 
Speed changes with time of day and distance from the testing server... among other things

I don't think most people know the difference between Kb/s, Mb/s & KB/s, MB/s

I am not happy with my speed.. it is not what was advertised!

8649kb/s down & 965kb/s up

What service do you have. Thats actually good numbers for any service. Why you think it's so bad?

It is supposed to be 10Mb/s down & 1Mb/s up with a 100GB cap


I have Shaw Extreme.. I am thinking of upgrading to their new "Nitro" 25Mb/s service with a 150GB cap

You can have 1000 mb down but you're still dependent on the seeders upload speed
when downloading movies.

It'll do you no good if the other guy is on 500kbs
 
I am smoking along at 40 kbp/s. Gotta love living in the boonies where you can only get dial-up. Anyone tried satellite internet?

I have no complaints on my speed but my brother says I am much slower than his computer so I will have to check his speed when I can.
