My current connection via the cable TV provider is 60 Mb down and 10, up, though I generally get mid-upper 70's down and almost 11 up.
In my work, I often set up connections over fibre. I did a gigabit connection at Microsoft's Toronto office a few weeks ago and a 100 Mb one at Symantec on Friday.
Here my cable provider upgraded all old accounts recently to 100 Mbps download (in return for an involuntary $5/month increase in rates). Upload speed is default just 3 Mbps however. You can pay more for more upload speed but I've found the 3 Mbps upload to be sufficient for my retired purposes.
Speedtest registers download as 107 Mbps. When the speedtest meter bumps up against its 100 Mbps gauge maximum the "100m" graphic number on the gauge pulses as if to say whoa.

Funny, speedtest.net says 107 Mbps here too. A local speedtesting site and ISP's testing pages both register ~200 Mbps. Which matches the results I got when downloading a 12 GB file recently. BTW: oldest experiences are replacing two 78.2 (?) modems between warehouse and office by 6 300 baud, each for their own traffic. A lot of very happy people. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
