Depends on where I am. When I'm at my city place (SF) it's 55Mbps down, about 10Mbps up, for $35/month! But when I'm at my country place (in the bonnies) it is slow, usually 2Mbps down, a little better up. BUT, it can and often is much slower. The ISP has a weasel clause in their contract:"up to", so they say TS! And, it's $69/month, and they don't allow streaming. The owner of the service believes streaming is amoral, not green, and thus bad for the planet because all those server farms consume too much energy! If you break the rules, you risk being cut off. His business motto "WE DON'T WANT ANY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS-IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE." Unfortunately, there is nowhere else to go.
