AT&T DSL--
I forget which tier, but I pay 25.00/month for it.
1368/325 Chicago
1316/326 NYC
1317/326 DC
Close enough...I can stream from Netflix and YouTube.

AT&T DSL Upgraded
Chicago: 2646 down 436 up
Seattle: 2612 & 429
San Francisco 4349 & 426 weird on a 3K connection
Washington D.C. 2901 & 433

At work...
Washington DC: 3667 down, 6207 up
New York: 4072 down, 3149 up
San Francisco: 2671 down, 2457 up
Groningen: 12250 down, 10550 up
Conclusion: No significant differences in download speed when compared with my home connection. Upload speed is much higher at work and comparable with download speed.
We pay 50 euro per month for internet connectivity at work. For the home connection I pay 20 euro per month.

On what site did you test the connection to Groningen? I would like to test that one too!

Hi Louis,
Same result as yesterday evening: with a cable connected to the router the download speed is more than two times higher than with the wireless connection. My wireless connection seems to be the bottleneck in my gateway to the world!
Oh, I tested the Groningen connection on this site (Groningen is the pyramid in the sea
):

Groningen as centre of the world! LOL
Download speed is 9.90 Mb per second.
Upload is 1.37 Mb per second.
I guess that would be 9900 up and 1370 down?

MY Groningen result:
was 1.32 Mb/s download
and 0.31 Mb/s upload.
Columbus, OH (state capitol, about 100 miles SW)
1.32 Mb/s download
and 0.32 Mb/s upload.
I'm not sure what it totally means, but I find it interesting anyway!

Interesting
When I test to Linz (using the link Theo so kindly provided, I come up with 10.9Mbit up.
The down is stuck where it is throttled to, so irrelevant.
This is impressive, truly.
I have never had an internet connection come so close to the theoretical service level offered.
Neat!
Lawrence, what that means is simply that your service provider is keeping their word to you, and, in fact, doing a bit better than contracted for.
Theo, you need to check your WLAN from top to bottom. If my suggestions didn't help, perhaps someone else here can?
Such beautiful technology, what a pity there is so often little being transmitted truly worth the effort.

Well Keven,
I think that I know the cause of the slow wireless connection: insufficient signal strength or bad reception. The indicator in my menu bar (Mac OS X) is usually only halfway the maximum and sometimes the signal strength is so weak that the connection is lost entirely. I think that I need an external antenna on my computer to improve reception. However, for normal internet use the speed is sufficient so I haven't placed this issue high on my priority list. It is only when testing the maximum connection speed that it really becomes apparent.

While my connection seems slow compared to others, the response time seems almost instant. But I did notice that the speed I am getting is way less than the speed I am paying for with AT&T.
I called them today and they simply dismissed me with the comment "If you look at your contract, it states that you can be getting UP TO the speed you are paying for. We'll gladly come to your house to check things out, but it'll cost you $149.95."
GRRRRR..

Local cable service, lowest service tier, stated as 3MB/512KB (two faster speeds are available). Average of several tests:
3165 download
488 upload
Having worked for an ISP for 8 years, I can affirm there's no way the maximum stated speed can be *guaranteed*. Equipment and environmental variables are involved that are not within control of either the provider or the customer.
