    I would consider anything below 3 mbps to be slow

    When you're in the Philippines, the internet "speed" is really SLOW.

    people with comcast need to realize that those speedtests are not indicative of actual sustained speeds. it's powerboost.

    This is absolutely true. I'm familiar with the cable industry and they use traffic shaping technologies at most CMTS locations at the local headend.

    Most of your internet speeds make me green with envy :(

    I'm getting 6mbps which is the fastest i've personally ever had
    I can't really stream rockets games that well so i rely on downloads..

    It's risky business coming onto the this forum after a game to get the download file.. should my eyes wander only a little bit it could all be ruined

    The only nice thing about google is they offer free service....and their data plans are cheap. Outside of that, its nothing special. I can get a 100mb duplex at my house for $150ish and I live in a small town out in rural GA.
