Here in rural Southwest Virginia, I pay $89 for Citizens DSL, guaranteed 6 MB/s download. There is no other option except satellite. Here is the speed test to Hartford, CT and the ping to IB's server in Conn. If I want faster, I can add a second DSL line for double the price and use a load balancer.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Colombia to Chicago. not bad for the 'Third World'
My home 20Mb package. I have a backup link via a 1Gb laser connection to a friend's apartment should lightning knock out this block, 50Mb fiber but as he is always downloading torrents on it... not worth benchmarking (but still faster).
Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
Well I'm 2550 Miles to Chicago, speed of light in a vacuum is 186.2824 miles / ms so 27.377 ms round trip in perfect scenario, we got a lot of varied media & switches to propagate & route through, it is dark now but..... we are definitely wearing sunglasses.
From one of my VPS, Chicago to Chicago (with a network backup running in parallel...).
Speedtest servers seems to have some issues when dealing with very high speed networks, in this case upload and download speed should similar and closer to the theoretical speed (1000mb/s).
First time i see it jumping above 100mb.
I changed my old tplink load balancer for a new linksys LRT224 VPN concentrator
(with load balancing), but not yet active..
I realize that this thread is 2 years old but I hope things have gotten better for you. I thought shared lines went out the door with party lines for phones.
4MB for $480....that must be a world record.
What about DISH or HUGHES.......is that available in Ecuador?
Why did you move to Ecuador, I thought it was suppose to be a nice place to retire.....cheap...
BTW, $40 a month for 15Mbps in Dallas with Time Warner Cable.
