<div class="IPBDescription">curiosity</div>I would like to know what is your connection speed and how much you pay in US dollars approximately and where you live. I have a curiosity to know the average connection speed and prices.
There are some places who have 100Mbps broadband connections, but where i live is very far away from offer such things.

    Not exactly sure on pricing, since it is bundled with our TV service:

    10Mb down/1 Mb up. ~$35-40/month US dollars in Edmonton, Alberta.

    I thought the USA and UK speeds was more higher, but it seems the average is about 3Mbps.
    Comprox does have a really nice connection for the price.

    I have a 8Mbps/600Kbps and pay about US$50 here.

    Odd timing.

    My ISP just released a 25Mb down / 3Mb up for ~$90 month. Not gonna get it right now, just happy to see them offering good speeds <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Use your router and open a different port for them. Its an annoyance but not that bad of an annoyance, almost every ISP is blocking the default bittorent port now
