We currently pay for 1mbps but it's actually about 1.2mbps. That is currently the fastest I can get in my road. However soon i'll be upgrading to 2mbps which is the highest I can get in my area.

I use dsl/adsl.. planning to get a 2mb connection this year (owe my ISP ?200.. so until I pay that I can't switch to a better ISP with faster speeds.)

I use Tiscali, 256kbs.. originally had 128kpbs but they upgraded me the week after they said they were going to ban me for not paying up lawl.. I still havnt payed up. Hopefully I will soon (really, I would like to.. but it's kinda hard when a.) You have no money b.) They don't allow under 18's to pay and c.) You don't have a debit or credit card )

5/384

Speed tests put me at about 3 mbit, but real downloads put me around 4.9.
