Mine is not very fast. We live on a farm at the very end of the local
monopoly's cable service. My download speed is 11.98 and my upload is
1.29. For Alamy, I usually set it to upload at night when the speeds are
best. My ISP has complained that I am using too much bandwidth uploading
and they are going to start charging more for the service :-( There is no
choice out here so we are stuck with Comporium.
