    I'll be lucky if I get half a megabyte per second. Sometimes, I get dial-up speeds. I've got awful internet.

    My home internet is kind of slow, but I can't complain since it's my landlord's and comes with my rent. It's much faster at my university when I can use ethernet. But, even gigabit ethernet is super slow when it comes to multi-gigabyte files that that can take hours to transfer.

    Well I'm supposed to be getting 20Mbits down and 5 up, actual speed varies. A lot.

    Seriously, some days it goes up to ~18Mbits(~2.3Mbytes/sec) down and 2 up, others I'm stuck with 0.4Mbits (50Kbytes). Don't ask about the upload spead. The speed test didn't actually register it...

    Not too bad today...

    Despite whatever mine is rated at it feels like "molasses in January" when downloading new playstation home zones.

    Mine isn't too bad I would say average, but the last internet provider we had....screw them! They had fast internet....but not reliable. They would have an "outage" that would last for months every few months and do nothing about it.

    ^This. Virgin's pretty good most of the time, but last year our internet died for a month because they were "Upgrading network infrastructure for fibre broadband" and since it came back online it's been consistently slower than it was before they made it faster...
