I usually download my regular TV shows and on uTorrent, speed is around 10 MB/s on average so only if I add like 20 files I reach the top speed.

What's your latency and speed when you need to connect to a server that's not in Singapore?

My girlfriend is Singaporean and I like to remind her that her country is smaller than the village I live in... doesn't take much to operate all that infrastructure. ;)

I'm not saying that I should be paying how much I'm paying. I'm just saying it's cheaper to operate a service provider in a much smaller country.

AT&T Gigabit. This is almost always what I pull. I hate them as a company, but their gigabit is super nice.

I use Vodafone Fibre for my home internet connection, and EE for my cellular.

Gone are the days where I had slow connection speeds.. (fibre was introduced in my area in 2014)

Nice! Hyperoptic isn’t in my area :( fingers crossed one day lol.

Do they own their own infranstructure? Like Virgin, etc?

Yeah I think they own it all. They tend to wire to apartment blocks and then hook cat 5e cables into your place to pipe gigabit goodness.

My internet speed on a very good day.

More than 10 times what I was getting 5 years ago, before they installed fibre in the neighbourhood.



Using a mobile broadband connection that offers "up to 7.2 Mb/sec". Not even 5% of that. Neither phone nor cable to my apartment building.

Cloud computing, streaming movies, downloading Mavericks, etc….. forget it.

Today, for about $US 200 a year (with unlimited data), this is what I am getting:

What the ****? I’m on cable and I get gigabit for about $200 (with phone & TV!)

You’re getting scammed and you don’t even know it, sad!

When I can get on my laptop I’ll tell you my bill and show a Speedtest.net result

Perhaps consider his location before passing judgement on what he is getting vs. what he has to pay for it.

I turned on a football game yesterday. Wow. During huddles my download speed must have been 2, but just as the qb started his pass it went to 1.
