Hey i'm with Korean Telecom (which i'm assuming is what most people are on here) ...go to this site: http://www.speedtest.net/

It's just the click of a button and it will tell you your download speed rate. I'm curious what everyone is clocking in at over here...i've always assumed i'm not reaching my fastest connection.

1.76mb/second mine reads.

55 down, 17 up.

Fast torrents with lots of seeders, I'm usually at 500k-1.0m/s.

No complaints on my end, life is good.

93 down 29 up Laughing

As to the ISP I have no idea, when I moved in it was connected, I tried to get it disconnected and so I could sign up under my own name, but they said they need that person to call up.

So nearly 2 years later I still have free internet

After the speedtest it lists your ISP in the right side of the box.
