Answer 2

There are lots of websites that test the speed of your connection for you (for free).   Try www.speakeasy.net .

Answer 3

Use speedtest.net to check what the exact speed you're getting is and if you'd like to ask about how fast it is exactly just post the results up when you're done and I'll be glad to let you know how it is.

Answer 4

It's decent.

There certainly is faster Internet than that, but it's fine.

The largest cable Internet capacity I've seen is Comcast at 50 Mbps (what I'm on).

The largest link "ever" would have to be OC-768 at 39,813 Mbps. This is used for telecommunications backbones.

Answer 5

Yes, that is very fast. Services do exist that can provide 50 mpbs or even faster, but those are usually extremely expensive and hard to come by, not to mention totally unnecessarily for most people.

Answer 6

Well compared to mine which is 3MB down 768K up.... yours is way up there.
