Ethereum transaction speeds?

[Bastime]

Ethereum is faster than Bitcoin in terms of transaction speed and probably the fastest between Bitcoin forks like Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond and Segwit2x.
I am using Ethereum for half of a year now and I never experience that delay like Bitcoin's transaction speed.
Ethereum is faster and if I would give the speed, it feels like a couple of minutes then you're done - coins are already sent on the other wallet.

Haven't done an Eth transfer in awhile, keep reading about congestion and slow speeds.
I'm looking at buying an ICO which is close to it's cap, how long are Eth transactions taking these days?

Over a day and I've probably missed out.

Cheers!

The transaction speed of ethereum is breakneck, and I am satisfied with it. If you are low cost with 4 gas it will only take a few minutes to make transactions, and if it is congested then you just increase the gas to about 40-80 transactions can be done almost instantaneously. , but the transaction fee will be higher depending on the amount of gas you require.

Ethereum is much faster than bitcoin in terms of speed of transaction as well in terms of the fee levied for a transaction. Following the same there are more altcoins that have been focused on faster transaction with less fee.

I have done a few investments in ETH and the transaction speed was very fast.
ETH market will grown as people is getting aware of it. Currently many people wants bitcoin as the growth is currently fast.

So far I've felt a lot of transactions from ethereum, and the results are very fast when compared with bitcoin transactions then ethereum is much faster. Most likely if there is a delay regarding the cost of ethereum transactions, because the cost of gass is very low, so there can be congestion on ethereum transactions.
