I don't even know how fast my Comcast is supposed to be. I think the theory speed is 25mbps. The fastest downloads I see are from Steam or Origin...maybe 4mb per second, usually drops down to 3 after a while.

I noticed the same fastest downloads i can get are from them and on my 10mbps all i can get is 1.2mbps download speeds, and wierder yet when i do those online speedtests shows i get 7-8mbps so i dont get this at all.

That is overkill for home users. I'm sitting on a 1gbps connection in romania (100mbps up) for 12 eur. I need an ssd to get to those speeds. I would need 2 ssds in raid to get 10gbps. This is aimed at businesses, it's unfeasible to get that kind of an internet connection on a regular pc. Hell, I consider 1gbps to be overkill for regular users. But when you only need to pay 4 extra euros to jump from 100mbps to 1gbps (seriously, I pay +4 eur/month compared to my older 100mbps connection) AND you get a free wireless terminal (not exactly a router) included you simply say 'yes please' and never look back.

It's depressing that USA can't reliably give 100mbs at a reasonable price. I can't even get 50mbs reliably.

Yes, you can get reliable 100Mbps broadband in the USA for a decent price. I recently got upgraded from 30/5 megabit to 200/20 by Time Warner Cable for no additional fee. Had I been a subscriber of their faster 50/10, the boost would have been to 300/30. I pay somewhere around $60/mo i believe since I currently have a package containing the internet service, home phone, and HDTV Premier Package, along with 2x HD-DVR, 1x HD Converter, 1x Modem + 1x phone modem... and pay $146 before taxes. (every 3 months they try to raise it back up to ~$190 but i always renegotiate) http://www.speedtest.net/result/3855456744.png

In Spain it's possible to get 200/200 Mbps + unlimited landline calls + unlimited cellphone calls + 2 GB of cellphone data for 60 €/month. I currently have 100/10 Mbps for 42 €/month, but I'm thinking of getting the bigger package so that I can have a decent upload for OwnCloud purposes (although I've tested OwnCloud and I was very unimpressed by its performance and its huge amount of bugs, so... I might wait for some time until there's an interesting solution to this).

All fun these speeds, but what good is it if a website you're downloading from is limited to 50 kbps...

Some people don't use their bandwidth to download files from websites.

I know, i don't. Just saying 🙂

You sound jelly. "No one should have a faster internet connection than ME!"

9,90€ month for 100mbps here. Dont really need faster, 350mbps would be 19,90€/month. No download limits.
