over here we hear quite a bit about how good your internet connections are
thought lets test this http://www.speedtest.net
I have an ADSL 2 plan however due to living 7km from the exchange i don't get the best speeds could be worse though
also where we cop it a lot I am paying $69.95 for my connection that includes 50gb of data per month if I go over that then I get shaped to dial up speeds ( happens every now and then )
Three miles from the host is nothing. The data cap is insane, it ridiculous. In the Land of the Free, I've never seen a data or time cap for ten or fifteen years since dial up, we've got unlimited internet usage. I'm paying 40 bucks, for a 7 down, 1.5 up. I've got, at home, a 24/7 server box that constantly runs; file version control (SVN on https), a FTP server, Teamspeak, and various internet game servers. I transfer OUT data constantly, I couldn't even begin to think how much that server box takes in.
