My download speed is 24 Megabits per second but unfortunately my up speed is only 1 Megabit. Thats the type of account I have anyway. So you could say I have the good and the bad.
I must add tho I dont actually get the full 24Mb as my phone lines in the street are a bit faulty. ;(
I will be moving house soon, and I will be closer to the phone exchange and will also be in a newer developed area so the phone lines will be in good condition, so I 'should' be able to utilize the full speeds.

D'Oh, 64k inet here :P
I'm very satisfied with it, sometimes I'm a bit confused by the georgeous transfer rate I have during download : 8KByte/sec ...
Argh ! What a pity... lol

I get 10/2 for £35 ($50'ish?) here in UK, but they are planning to use new docsis systems in time for 2008 for 50mb lines.
