TimeWarner/RoadRunner Southern California, $44.95 a month, not too bad I think.

I had Verizon DSL a few years ago...it was pure awful. Stupid 768kbps package (88kb/s down, 15kb/s up) was like all they had, crappy. Went to cable after that (first Charter, 3 or 4mbit) and then moved and had to switch to TimeWarner, been pretty happy with it...except when it goes out because of fire damage. :X

Verizon isn't too bad over here East side, many ppl very pls with them, great technical support i don't even remember when was the last time i talked to them, maybe i should start thinking about moving up my speed, the only time it slows me down is if i travel out of US kinda annoying sometimes :)

Telus DSL (from Speakeasy):

1240 kb/s down

525 kb/s up.

It's not great, but not too bad. But it's pretty cheap.

My connection is always 11.0 Mbps. Pretty fast though. I was wondering how I would get T1 speed. I hear it's the fastest connection speed ever.

T1 is slow compared to most broadband connections.

You are already running at the equivalent speed of 7.3 T1 lines

For future reference.

T1 - 1.544 megabits per second

T3 - 43.232 megabits per second (28 T1s)

OC3 - 155 megabits per second (84 T1s)

OC12 - 622 megabits per second (4 OC3s)

OC48 - 2.5 gigabits per seconds (4 OC12s)

OC192 - 9.6 gigabits per second (4 OC48s)
