I got 814 but I'm a wired ethernet in an office. No difficulty with photos here. Whoa that's near the limit of ethernet speed.

I'm so jealous of European internet speeds. It's because you guys don't have ConCast over there...lol. The internet is treated like a utility, which means companies have to offer it for cheap at super speeds, correct?

Maybe Hillary will be able to make some progress on that front when she gets elected in 2016.

I get around 35mb usually. I don't really need it any faster than that.

York has been chosen as the first City to first host the new ultra fast 1000mb download speeds. It's supposed to happen this year too.
