Using Comcast cable in Chicago. I guess I can't complain looking at most posts. Price is bundled with my TV cable bill (HD, DVR, etc) so I'm not even sure what I pay just for internet.

OK.
Admit it… you just didn't search at all, now did you?
Tsk… tsk…

Here's mine:
This is at home. When I get to my dorm room, that will be a LOT speddier.

Some of the speeds above are ridiculous. But I have to wonder, at what point does it just not matter any more because the servers you are connecting to just don't upload that fast. Like, my speed is double what it was last year (via Speedtest.net), but I've noticed little increase in download speeds from most places.
Don't complain. Where I live, there is only dial-up or ISDN (yes, ISDN). Or I suppose satellite.
Work, however.. well, this might hurt a little.
Phew! Whipped by Bosep!
Wow, you're getting screwed on the upload speed!
They limit it intentionally to discourage seeding torrents.
But, I haven't run into any usage problems with 500+ kbps up.
Not bad. The router is saying 21.8Mbit, and I have a few background internet apps running on the network that will be pulling some bandwidth.
Really tempted to try out the work connection at 3am though. Despite what people say about the NHS, when the hospital is empty of staff the internet truly flies - I've seen 60MB/sec downloads.
