I'll start us off.
Highest offered connection speed: 1.5 Mbps
Actual Connection speed at 9:00-ish Pacific Time, with no download clients running, no internet browsers running, and no programs updating:

Yes, that's right, apparently my ISP can't even crack triple digits on some nights.
Game, set, match.

I dunno what the fastest offered is, or even what my connection is (they randomly upgrade it from time to time).. but my download speeds run up to 1400kb/sec majority of the time.

Even though I have Comcrap I can't generally complain about the speeds. I can't use the killer nic I got for testing purposes behind my router or my speeds suck. But on my Nvidia onboard lan I get great speeds.
Supposed to be 8MB down 1MB up, but I boost upwards of 14-16MB at times.

I see a lot of folks with Comcast putting out some sick speeds. Makes me kinda jealous, although it isn't as big a deal since the latest upgrade I've gotten, can't really ask for more than nearly a meg and a half a second DL speeds.

I use bittorrent like the world is running out of data. :-p
Just crossing my fingers for the day when comcast rolls out DOCSIS 3 and we get some massive speed boosts. The spec is final, but they are waiting on hardware to be finalized.
FIOS wouldn't be half bad either.

You have both failed the "Worst ISP Competition".
You are the strongest links .... GOODBYE!

Come on, I used to play CS betas on a 33 and 56k. I have earned my nice speeds!
