At home I have a small 8Mbps down 844Kbps up ADSL connection.
At work I have 2 x 622Mbps central pipes.

No, I just chose one of the lower ones. We're on cable internet in any case from NTL. I don't use the internet for downloading music, videos and wot-not. Most of my internet traffic will be from visiting devnet, using svn, connecting to servers over SSH and some more adult stuff. If I had a 10Mbit line it would be wastedimpulse() wrote:Are you a sufferer due to distance from your BT exchange?d11wtq wrote:2Mbit Down/256Kbit up at home

2mb/256k at home.
Work is slower.
My old office had 2x4 bonded 20gb lines, 4 'live', 4 on standby. Trading bank so communication is vital for them.
The UK get shafted for DSL, cable not too bad though. I'm in London. My Exchange is sub 1 mile away yet I'm only able to get 2mb.. If I got cable I could get 20mb or higher (20mb is currently the highest 'home' service iirc.)
The Japs, last I heard, have a free 100mb net connection in every home. Japan is like a giant LAN/WAN.
