I recently upgraded my home Internet connection from 8Mbps to 30Mbs for an extra HK$ 34 (US$ 4; now paying a total of US$ 22 for internet). The results are sizzling! The following using speedtest.net.
Hong Kong server: It actually goes up to ~30Mbps! But more astounding is the upload speed.
Lahore server: appaling ping time, but download upload are still pretty decent. Don't think it can get much better no matter the ISP.
New York server: Download is OK -- not sure if I've gained any advantage by upgrading to 8Mbps (most of the downloading we do is from US servers, right? Unless they are Akamized, of course!). But upload is faster than download? Ha! That's funny.
I also tested from my work PC to the Hong Kong server. Hey look! My home download is better (though that could just be because of the time-of-day that I tested). But the ping and upload numbers are just insane. I should also try the same for a New York server.
