Mine isn't so great, but I'm still using DSL. Still as I don't play games, don't download video or audio files, rarely download anything but relatively small program files, can view videos online without delays, rarely get or send e-mails with large attachments, and rarely if ever upload anything except a small file here or there to SkyDrive, it's perfectly satisfactory (though I admit I'm envious of some of the numbers I've seen here purely from a "I'd like to have a better performing PC" perspective).
I believe my ISP offers higher speed DSL options (for more per month of course), but even still, it would be comparatively slower than cable or other options. i still can't believe I saw 90+MB/sec download above (and there may have been others higher I didn't notice). I'd have to be using my laptop quite differently before I would ever pay for such access - I can't imagine needing or using so much. I mean, it's VERY impressive, but what does someone do on a laptop to require that kind of speed? Does it really help that much with games or do you download large files (like videos) that often to justify the expense (because I suspect that kind of speed must cost quite a bit no matter where you live or how it is [legally] obtained).
Ok I know you all have really fast rigs, but to help me optimize the site better, and to satisfy my curiousity, can you let us know what sort of speed your internet is?
I'm running a true blue gigabit system (CAT6 ethernet to a gigabit adapter, hosted, if you will, by a DOCSIS 3.0-compliant cable modem, an Arris.)
PS - below is a bundle: It's here in Indiana (unlimited local, long distance, 12 features for VOIP phone + 16 Mbps internet @ $49+ [before taxes, surcharges, which are a far cry LESSER than copper wire phone company])

Other Info
Gigabit LAN. Tight network security. (Hopes of getting a Linksys 4-Port Gigabit Security Router with VPN!) Disabled WiFi/Wireless hardware; don't believe in the concept. If I did, would use draft-N adapter.
