-What speed you're supposed to get: No promise

-What speed you actually get: 4.7 down, 0.8 up

-Rating: 4.5 ( Reasonable customer service, slow speeds caused by 4 km cable length from exchange and frequent VoIP and Internet dropouts)

Fibre is coming soon though which will offer gigabit down and 400mbit up by the end of the year

OMFG Someone else who lives in Perth, I swear once in a lifetime thing right here and they also use iinet. I also have iinet i would give it the same as you and can't freaking wait for fibre optic to come to Perth .  :D

What can I say, Randomly cuts out, Customer service is run full of Indians who follow scripts, terrible service, don't care about their customers...

Rating: -5/5
Yes Negative 5 out of 5

[LAwLz]

ISP Name: Bredbandsbolaget

What speed you're supposed to get: 8/1Mbps

What speed you actually get: Usually around 7Mbps down and about 0.9Mbps up.

Rating (Out of 5): 5/5

 

The biggest problem is that I live in the middle of nowhere between a huge field and a big forest. A lot of my friends who live in the city just ~10km away gets ~120/30 Mbps when they only pay for 100/10Mbps which is fantastic.

They don't care about torrenting, got pretty cheap prices, works 99.9% of the time and have been very helpful in the past. If I lived 10km away when they would be glorious (a lot of student apartments gets 100/10Mbps broadband from them for free).

1Gigabit for 70 dollars a month? Yes please. Oh no wait, I need to move 10km in order to get that. Man I can't wait to move to the city.

ISP: Axxess (South Africa)

Plan: 2 Mbps DL

What I actually get: 1.7 Mbps

Rating: 3/5 (Throttle often without any indication as to why, when and for how long. But still better than most other ISP's in South Africa)

 

[wpirobotbuilder]

ISP: Fairpoint Communications

Plan: 30/15

Actual: ~29.5/14.5

Rating: 4.5/5

 

Fairpoint is the only ISP in the area who provides fiber service to my apartment complex. They came in and did the installation (took longer because they had some dead equipment) but overall less than 2 hours. I couldn't get internet until the next day because the programmer for the router didn't show up, so they did it in the morning. Great service so far, but I'm not sure if they throttle or have a data cap.

[NeutronGTX]

ISP: Mweb

 

what I should get: 1 mbps down, 512 kbps up (dont judge i live in south africa)

what i do get: don't even ask

After today I can rate my ISP in a single word but there are children about so I can't and I don't possess the creativity to find a softer word that I have in mind right now to describe those incompetant morons

[AMICLG]

 

Time Warner Cable

50 down 5 up

30 down 1 up

2.5/5 

 

They throttle video streaming services and that's not cool. There customer support is also really bad so there's that.

 

Try changing your dns to openDNS servers.

Be happy you at least get 20..... I have a plan for 25 but I've NEVER and I mean NEVER gotten past 10. Most of the time it's acually 1-3.

[AraSarkisyan]

Charter Communications.
300mbps
25-28mbps
1 out of 5 for constant outages in my Area and tech support that has less knowledge of Networking than a fetus.

ISP Name: Shaw

Plan: 50 Mbps Down 3.5 Up

Actual: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2803640415.png

Rating: 4/5

 

The Switch across the street is not getting the right amperage ( or so they tell me) and that's why im getting the speed I am. Also lately in Kelowna on Shaw's backbone or connection going to everone's house has had random connection access issues for some sites for a day or 2.

Dude, you actually  get 20 down? I have a vacation home in Cathedral City where we pay for 30mbps and we get less than 10 most of the time! AND THEY THROTTLE SO BAD. Half the time it's an outage. The sad thing is they are the only provider @ the 92234 zip code.

Yeah I've complained so many time that they boosted it also I'm tunneling ipv6 through ipv4 and using openDNS servers.

[marty_1986]

ISP: Telus (Canada)

Plan: 50 down 10 UP

Actual: 71 down and 16 - 18 UP

Rating: 4.5, been with them for years, they have good support

Also please note due to I live in a brand new condo building and with that I got a fiber run directly in to my unit which routes to telus fiber optic network and it doesn't help that the hub for my area is just down the street.

 

[aikoels]

-Verizon

Supposed to get: 5 down 2 up

Getting: 4.5 down .7 up

 

2/5

 

There internet is really spotty, for example I have the best internet they can give me at my house, which is really annoying that I am stuck with way to slow internet for me. Also their customer support are really rude and snobby.

[Hazy125]

ISP- TPG internet (Australia)

Promised speed- 15 down

Actual-

Rating- 3 out of 5.... It's slow but Australia sucks in general and it's better than most others I know

[Lays]

Comcast

 

Plan:  50 down 10 up

 

Actual: 63~ down 13 up

 

Rating: 5  

 

It NEVER goes down, unless someone runs into a pole or we don't pay the bill, it only gets temperamental and lags maybe once every month for a couple hours, the customer service is shitty over the phone, but the comcast store next to my house takes care of us whenever we go in, (we've been a member of comcast before comcast was called comcast)
