    I'm thinking about getting a server from rapidswitch but before purchasing anything I would like to see what kind of speeds people from the US could manage as the server would be UK based.

    http://87.117.237.206/100mb.bin

    I would appretiate it :)

    I'm on a 1.5 Mbps satellite connection in Arkansas, US, and my download speed was averaging about 170 kbps.

    It started slow less than 100 kb and jumped to just under 200kb per sec and then improved quickly and held 300+kb. I am on a fairly fast cable connection in central KY well connected to a major pipe.

    I only downloaded about half the file before I cancelled.
