Fast internet is not uncommon in The Netherlands. UPC[1] have 50, 120 and 200 Mb/s internet connections.

In Finland:

DNA: http://www.dna.fi/uberkaista 350Mbit/s.

Sonera: http://www.sonera.fi/tutustu+ja+osta/nettiyhteydet/kodin+laa... 1Gbit/s.

Impressive speeds. You usually don't see anything over 100 Mb/s here in Denmark.

Would it be that strange for HN folks? I'd imagine people from this community would be willing to get the best, or at least the fastest connection available.

(I think I'm an exception, I have the lowest available option from my ISP, 40MBit)

I think you meant Mb with a small b.

I guess they would, but this is a matter of providing that speed. I don't think 128+ Mb/s is very common, usually caps around 100 Mb/s in a lot of areas.

I don't think the capitalization of b matters as I wrote the full word "Bit" instead of just "B" (for Byte).

Anyways, my ISP has a 240Mbit plan.. and this is rather small city and Europe (not north or west either). I guess I just assumed SF (for example) would have even better options. Looking at other major ISPs around shows 100, 2x150 and 250 as top speeds.

I am supposed to have 150 but speedtest.net gives me about 160. I am in New Orleans
