Kilobytes : is how you measure a 1/10 of a MB so 100KB/S = 1/10 of 1 MEG : 1,000KB/S = 1 MB is the average Premium Service of KB/S in upload domain In Canada and also several place in usa like more then half of the usa people don't get more then that 1MB/S upload : but they can get from 3MB/S to 30MB/S Download for The Average Paying for Service's after that it go in heavy price
Canada is in the top 5 Worst MB/S per dollar for both upload / download we are so overtaxing this stuff it a gold mine for service of internet like Bell Canada / Telus / roger A&T / Videotron and that all because the Current Law allow them to tax that high on it but some measure are trying to be done so that it become more Fair so that we can have a Great Internet Speed Like most of American which is 20MB/S+
for the price we pay : i mean we pay from 49.99$ to 74,99$CAD Expect in FEW BIG CITY and we get from 7MB/S to 16MB/S big max and that with not them respecting the 16MB/S band with = they give you 9MB/S for 75% of the time : Example : Bell Canada Sympatico MAX Internet speed 16MB/S ok
my Friend as done a Speed Test more then 10 Time from over All Pyramid in north america what result it give ? 9,400KBS to 11,000KB/S of 16MB/S Pretty Bad eh ? he called bell And they don't give him more speed they even denied of a problem with the Internet connection
Because if you look the price of 30MB/s of Roger A&T It cost you an arm : and if you want 50Mb/S it cost you and leg : 130$:? CAD Per month and that not a Duo / Trio / Combo Deal that does include ur TV and telephone...
And here in quebec It cost around that 130$ Per month to get all : Internet Extreme High speed 10MB/S 900 KB/S Upload + Cable telephone + HD Illico 8)
For what id pay i should have at last 25MB/S if you compare to other nation but we don't specially form a such low population we are from a province to another it like Stealing unlike you The United State are 300 Million so it could be normal to see some place having bad Internet and slowdown from a overloaded server :
anyway this won't lead to anything it just a Economy fact.
What is a good internet speed?

lol higher upload than download....odd but u must be a godly seeder
Thats a pretty good speed.
oh like i said several net broadband can't offer what they say and thus is called illegal representation thus is illegal in Canada not in USA tough not on the same level it up to them if they make the server able to respect there Internet like if they say they give you 35MB/S and end up only giving you 30MB/S for 90% of the time it a fake representation as Bell Canada Sympatico & There Sympatico Total Internet MAX 16MB/S you get usally 9MB/s to 11MB/S in any speedtest done from any hour of the day
There some that respect there engagement more but in the end you have less Download Bandwith such as 20GB Download per month to 70GB Combined = You can have 70GB Of combined upload / download to 100GB Combined Download from Other Internet Brand
but what i know of Roger In canada if they say you have 7MB/S from roger Canada : they give you 6,760KBS to 7MB/S in there speed test and you get what you pay for unlike some place i know that i have few friend in usa who have like 9MB/S they do speedtest in there own state on speedtest what they get ? some 7MB/S to 5MB/S depend of day
as for my Videotron Extreme High Speed go as this test show it 
for a 10MB/S download / 900KB/S upload and it cost lot i hope they change it to 16MB/S or 20MB/S soon but that all up to CRTC to make it happen
Can't tell more i don't know much more but either way you should look up if it ethernet cable and you'r missing Up to 2MB/S+ of what they suposse to give you that not good stuff
My speed
Compared to you guys, mine looks slooooooowwwwww.... New Zealands still got copper for the most part though.
You Americans are so lucky, in the UK most internet not near a huge city has the standard capped 444kb upload, probably 90% of us are like that, sucks. Download is ok though, got 7000kb download, 400kb upload.V4LENT1NE
Its the same here in Ireland. Unless you live in or near a city your screwed. I live in the country this is the best package I can get.
Well at least is doesn't have a download cap
time to update my speed here the thread as being Resurrected thing changed within a year and now im happy for the price i paid it finally make sense

La Puente, CA. Just moved here a little over a month ago, when the owner told me FIOS was available, I got a big smile. I'm only on the mid-level plan of 25/25, they have a 35/35 or 50/20.And the ping is great, with an SSD hardrive and this, when I click on a link, it completely loads the page in less than a second most of the time.
The upload is gimped, decent download is actually half of what you see 10mb/s, but websurfing is speedboosted.
This. But here are some real results.
Cox Communications DSL
My IPS agreement only entitles me to 10 MB/s, but I've always gotten over 20. :)
