Default 1 Mbps!
Guys, my provider upgraded my 384kbps DSL connection to 1 MBPS! I even checked my upstream with Cnet, and, sure enough, they weren't lying. Upstream, which is obviously generally slower, was 789kbps!

And the best part is it's still only $49.95/mo.! Cool or what?!

Meh, my cable has a theoretical maximum of 10 MBits (which of course it never hits) for about the same price...

For that same price we are supposed to be at 1.5 MB, although as more people get on it does slow down a bit.

I'm on 512k at home for £25 a month, I could pay £35 and have 1MBit, but don't currently need it. I believe they are starting a 2MBit service for £50 a month, but I believe I would need new hardware installed for that (however they do provide it for free).

At work I have a faster connection. The video conferencing system I run (accessgrid) has been known to put out 30Mbit of multicast traffic.
