Ask HN: What is your download speed? In any order: Download speed, Upload speed, Location? and ISP. Also would be nice to get more details about how your connection is set up. |

Current ISP: T-Mobile (using a broadband dongle)
Location: UK
UP: 0.57 Mbps

Cheap - £30 for 90 days with "no limits" (but with limits). Sucky image caching. Sucky client (but you don't have to use it). Awful customer support.
Skövde, Sweden
Down 90.32 Mbps
Up 10.02 Mbps
That's over my Wifi, I could probably get it up to 100 Mbps (that's what I pay for) if I connected a cable to my router.

It's a fiber connection. I'm not sure why they limit the upstream so much.
So that you don't run a data center from your house, which would saturate the network, which they are likely overselling, and so you don't cannibalize from the hosting services they would also be happy to sell you ala carte.
Also, in general web usage, the UPstream data requests are usually much smaller than the DOWN. E.g., "GET http://youtube.com/video" is very small, even with headers and whatnot added in, compared to the size of the video returned. It's more like 100:1 than 100:20, so unless you're trying to run services from home, you're likely coming out ahead.
We have an optical-fibre line from them.
Cable :)
