lol, I don't know - my ISP is Cox.

INeedAGig1210 has got me beat on the download speed.

 

I got 5027 / 1402 with speakeasy from the same Washington DC server so I guess both are fairly accurate.

Speed test.Net

Chicago Server. I'm in Toronto.

Rogers Cable

 

Not all servers are equal. Using Speedtest's Kansas City server, I got 2407K down/272K up. Using Atlanta, which is further away, I got 2969K down, 282K up. 3 Meg ADSL connection, so Atlanta is right at full speed for me.

In the real world, download is more commonly limited by the server your downloading from. I VERY seldom see downloads anywhere near full speed.

 

IMHO for best test of download speed, hit up a newsgroup and download from there. Most newsgroups i have used can flood a connection if set right.

 

my cable rocks

 

Never mind I lost the shot I was trying to post.

 

The premium newsgroups can. If you're accessing newsgroups through your ISP, you still at their mercy. I use the paid version of Forte Agent for newsgroup. Takes a bit of learning to get the most out of it, but it ROCKS for newsgroups, particularly for the alt.binaries groups with large multi-part downloads.

I got this on an advertised 6.1 mb/s cable connection. It's about right considering overhead.

 

My cable dl is fast, but up is slow.

 

speedtest:

19,123 kbps down...360 up

speakeasy:

20936 kbps down...360 up.

Highly doubt I'm getting those speeds.

 

Speedtest.net - dl 803, ul 352 kbps

Speakeasy - dl 862, ul 403 kbps

How are people getting thousands and thousands of kbps?

I've got DSL, what does everyone else have?

 

With speedtest.net, I got this:


and fro mSpeakeasy.net, I got this:

Last Result:
Download Speed: 4749 kbps (593.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 359 kbps (44.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

either way, I like my speed for what I do.

PS: I used NY,NY servers for both.
PPS: I have roadrunner by Time Warner in Central NY

 

You probably have DSL connecting at a max of 1.5Mbps like me. Some of these guys have the 5Mbps option (and beyond), hence the nice high download speeds

 

Maybe that's the new special thing AT&T is doing. Supposed to be really fast, but I forgot what is was called. I wanted to get it but they said it wasn't available in my area yet.

When I double click my connection icon in my tray that's just my wireless card to my router, right? It says 24 Mbps right now.

Another thing, when I first start it. it starts at 54 Mbps, but then it gradually falls to 24 or even 18. Is that normal? Does anyone else's do that?

Thanks for the info calltaker and Lev.

 

Mine's DSL (ADSL actually, A=asyncronous; different downoad speed than upload speed, which is the most common.) My ISP offers different speeds for different $ amounts. Mine's 3 megabit. Check your plan and see what you're supposed to be getting.

 

That's pretty common. A high speed server will try to send at as high a speed as posslble (unless intentionally limited; and the limit may be higher than what you're capable of). If it senses packet loss, it will slow things down to what you can accept. I've seen some servers that start out slow and build up to whatever level as well. In both cases, they're looking to find what you're capable of receiving without wasting data packets.

 

holy crap dude what the heck kinda internet are you on???

im jealous....

 

Comcast Broadband Cable

 

Thanks GT, I will check next time I get a bill and call them to make sure I am getting the fastest available. I know when i moved in in May I asked for the fastest they had, but it might have changed sionce then.

 

9036 / 2340

 

is this good

i got cox internet 5 meg

im paying 111.01 alltogether with my cable cable tv

 

I hate all you people with awesome connection speeds from home.

I connect at 21.6kps on a good day.

 

But there is also possible that someone "tap" your wireless
(hacking it and then when you are connected someone from your neighbor got connected also in your router)
just a thot

>>infoseeker / jhempelayo<<

 

4286kbps down 636kbps up for me (at net cafe in Brighton)

 

I live in Australia, and we don't have kick-ass internet, like y'all, but here's mine:

 

Good thought. If you want to see who is connected, log into your router and check the connections. Also, make sure that you have all your security set on wireless so that no one can get in.

 

Wow...the roos jump faster than that, don't they?

I'm paying $20.00/month with comcast cable internet for 8meg service which is supposedly the standard service for my neighboorhood.

DOWN = 16466

UP = 354

Roger

 

Is that the offer price Roger...meaning, what is the regular price once you are out of the "offer" period?

 

With a little haggling and whining and such, I got them to lock that in for a year!! I also got their phone service and premium cable (without the movie channels)...all for a grand total of $96.00 smackaroos a month!! I'd say I'm pretty proud of myself!!

On the books, though, it is marketed at roughly $45.00/month.

LA isn't closest (I'm in Alberta so Seattle is closest) but gives me best speed.
