15/15 usually test around 18/12
600 down per hour?
Try Australia.
8 down 2 up
We stayed on ADSL long after FiberOP (maybe a year?) became available in my area. They were pressuring everybody to upgrade, so I waited until they gave me a good bundle deal (landline phone, internet, and TV, so we could drop the digital cable TV service from another provider).I just ran a speed test.
Down: 24.48 Mbps
Up: 6.52 Mbps
retest came at 38.67 down 6.62 up
They are in the process of changing to fiber optic cables to allow faster speed. I think it is about a year before it reaches my house.
The new speed should be max 100/50.
I just did a speed test with BellAliant's own speed test (my ISP)

PLUS they agreed to waive the installation fee of something like $80 - $100, IIRC, which was why I waited for them to call me. We ended up paying a lot less for the combined services.
Looks like they gotcha. We did that as well. At the end of the year term we dropped the tv part of the package and the new price for just phone and internet was more then the package that also included tv and both prices were far more then what we were paying before for unlimited internet and the phone.

I'm interested to hear what sort of prices people are paying for their services. As mentioned, I pay about $NZ100 (= US$75) per month for unlimited but very slow ADSL and a land-line phone connection.
Is VDSL available in your area? They have to change a few things over but it still uses the old copper wires.
Alas no VDSL, no Vodafone cable (the former Telstra Clear system) and fibre is not expected until 2020; and this is in one of the more up-market suburbs of Wellington - It's so frustrating!
Luxury!
Across the ditch from you I'm getting 3.7 mbps down and 0.7 up for which I pay about $100 per month.
