A typical standard online tournament blind structure increases every 10-20 minutes. The actual speed depends on a number of factors including the tournament's buy-in. Turbo blind structures tend to increase every five or so minutes, with hyper-turbos being even crazier, raising the blinds every three-minutes or so.
