I consider 200 to be average. Anything over 350 is fast. I've never seen 500 so that must be blazing fast.
I will not even consider joining a site that has d/l speeds lower than 100 on average.

I agree with your parameters. I've gotten 600-700 on VideoBox, but that's about it. Most sites seem to go at about 150-300 Kbs.
A site that consistently goes at 500+ Kbs will get my loyalty.

I'm happy with 400. But I also check multiple download speed. And how many downloads a site will allow at once. If I have 4 going @ 200 per DL, that's fine too.

For smaller files (up to about 10mB) I usually don't mind if I even end up with sub-100kb/s speeds. For larger files a minimum 200-500kb/s or I will usually hit cancel. There are VERY FEW servers that I have gotten 600-1mb/s. The odd thing is that I can usually get 6mb/s easy over BitTorrent. That is why I don't know why more sites do not use it as, at the very least, an alternative to direct download. I know some people have caps, packet shaping, preventing P2P, but as more legit companies start using it I can see them start to sue ISPs for blocking paths to their files. Also using it as an alternative download method usually gets good responses.

Very nice poll. As fast speed I do consider 500 Kbps/Sec.

I'm with (jd1961) in that I quite happy if I can do multiple downloads at lower speeds. That means that I'll simply start my downloads just as I'm logging of the net. For streaming I expect 400 or above.

These days only vids over 1mbps seem fast to me, at least when quality is an issue, which it usually is.

Perhaps I've just been lucky with the sites I've chosen, but I get upset if I don't see at least 500kb/s (and most of them easily hit that speed) - if the site breaks the 1mb/s barrier though, then I'm impressed.

Better be able to get 1 MByte per connection to keep me happy. I have seen 19 MBytes/second on my connection
