: Perhaps some Scandinavian countrys has 22 Mbit, Most where I live who live in
: a flat have fiber at 100 Mbit downstream and 10 upstream. Those who live
: in ther own house has 24 Mbit adsl. 100/10 will cost $ 38 / month and then
: includes monthly fee for phone (not the minute fee).

: What is the most common and the maximum speed you can get?

128 Kbps to 6 Mbps would be the most common.

The T-3 are the fast Internet connections, operating at 45 million bits per second and used by universities, large companies,etc.

T-1 are used my small companies, etc. Our small library in my nearby town has a T-1 connection operating at about 1.5 million bits per second.

DSL usually run between 128 Kbps to 6 Mbps depending what plan you buy. I have a son living in Utah that uses 6 Mbps from cable and pays around $50. That's a heck of a deal I think here in the US.

And then there's my little 26K. The rural areas in the US are not fiber wired like they should be. The above are down stream speeds.
