natalian/ archives/ 2008/ 08/ 26/ UK Internet speeds versus Romania

Just returned from Romania.

In Bucharest 10mbit symmetrical connections!

What about Virgin Media? The UK fibre optic mother of all broadband?

Almost 20 mbit down, but not hardly half a mbit up? Since when is fibre optic asymmetrical?!

Finally, what’s the speed in the Regus serviced office from where I work?

Embarrassing! :(

Checkout the European internet speed statistics. Can’t find UK in the top EU countries by download speed, can you?

heh… and trust me on this one: RDS is NOT the best Internet Service Provider in Romania. actually, they’re quite crap. you should try other ISPs nest time when you visit our country.

I beg to differ: I’ve been using RDS for quite a while and, at least where my parents live, they have been quite reliable and fast. I’m not saying they are the best, but I don’t see anything wrong with them.

10mbit/s 0.01bit/s about 13min for 1 byte (8 bits) to arrive.. Using pigeons would be faster.
