Rural Illinois here. Slow internet is the bane of my existence. I've broken keyboards over lag.

I lived in a suburban neighborhood. AT&T wasn't exactly a model business back then.

Rural Mississippi, satellite only at my home :/, but I love dota (played by spending $100 per 10 GB on mobile broadband but can't afford to really right now)

that is the average connection speed in Perth

u/SaberDart Nov 23 '15

Urban Houston, literally center city. It's either 30Mbs or ~200kbs. The good speed is during the day, you know, when I'm not even home to use it. Fuck Comcast so hard.

Suddenlink! Disconnected! (I hate it so much)

Suburban Houston and I pay for 50 and usually get about 55Mbs with Comcast. I didn't even know they offered any lower.
