487810 2006-09-28 06:28:00 The other poll ["What sort of internet connection do you have?"] shows the majoriy of PF1ers having broadband, but this can be anything from 256 kb to 7 Mb. This poll gives us the range of broadband speeds (theoretical, not measured / actual).

Edit - sorry, did not include 128 kb upload speed so we could compare 128 vs 512 upload users. The EDIT option does not allow me to add this to the poll.

487812 2006-09-28 06:48:00 3.5 Mb (download speed) & 128K upload speed.

FYI: I see that a mod has added the " 128 KB **UPLOAD SPEED** (yes, you may vote twice)" option, I would of tick that, but when I voted it was not there

487813 2006-09-28 06:51:00 3.5 down, 128 up (theoretically). In practice its usually pretty close to that (Slingshot) Myth (110)
487814 2006-09-28 06:58:00 I get the full 3.5 Mbps locally but there is fat chance getting that from overseas HTTP or FTP.. gibler (49)
487815 2006-09-28 07:14:00 3.5/128 national and international
Peak 3.3-3.5 Offpeak 3.5+

I thought, of course, that all options were included. Fast Telecom was 7 or 7.5 Mb, according to what I last read here on PF1. Did not know Paradise had faster speeds - they must have changed recently.

Thanks to Jen or other Mod for including the other upload speed.
