What is your internet speed at home?



This is mine. Cox Cable bills it as Gigablast or:

COX GIGABLAST INTERNET with speeds up to: 1000 Mbps download; 35 Mpbs upload.

I am not getting the full 1000 Mbps down but my upload speed of 37.4 is pretty good. That upload speed is the biggest reason I went with the higher speed service.

I will admit to some cheating. My business, that I work at from home is the real reason I am paying for the top tier service. I have files that are sometimes 2 TB to upload to customers. That used to take forever.

The techs told me the only way I can ever get the full 1000 Mbps is to pay for a fiber installation. That sure is not likely to happen. 900+ Mbps is just screaming fast.

When data CDs were first introduced I was amazed to have 650 MB in one little disc. Now I can download that much data in under a minute.

I remember my first modem. 300 baud, and I had to dial the phone number then flip a switch for the modem to connect. And that modem cost several hundred bucks.
