How Fast Is Your Internet

Holy cow, is this hard to stay on top of! Comcast promised it would abandon traffic shaping in favour of a non-discriminatory network management system by the end of the year!!

Yay! Bell has been looking at Comcast saying, "They're doing it, why can't we?"

 

Wow, a demonstration on the Hill with 300 geeks!:eek The NDP got us 'free' healthcare too. BTW, the reason I said that Videotron wasn't throttling p2p traffic is that I always got my speed torrenting distros using uTorrent.

 

Didn't mean to say they did, but they have been dreaming of what is considered to be the worst case scenario for most NN advocates.

 

Aah, gotcha. I really should stop skimming articles or posts too for that matter, that's gotten me into more trouble...rolleyes

 

OK, just installed FIOS in my home, here is what it was...

Ok, either I'm blind, or there is no way to edit my post, probably I'm just blind today. Anyway, here is my home score, yes, my upload sucks, but that's cox throttling upload speeds to get more download bandwidth so they can charge me and extra $2.09 per month.

 

hey denithor, just FYI you can't edit your post after 30min has passed. or an hour. forgot which

 

Here is my amazingly slow Internet speed.

It should be a lot slower considering how old the lines are, but I'm not complaining seeing as how they always like to deny problems on there end.

Here is a test to Brisbane, Australia

Just goes to show, Gaming Insider, how great it is to have a node within 50 miles, or so. I use my nearest "Internode" link (they host MG downloads :major ) but it is still over 1,000 miles away. :cry

http://www.speedtest.net/result/290470414.png

http://www.speedtest.net/result/290495459.png

 

I pay for 1.5MB, so I can't complain. It's 1000 times better than some of the dialup I see here.

not bad for bigPond but still not full T1 speed:cry

 

Scrub Bigpond as soon as you can get out of their contract. They won't tell you when you contract has expired. They just continue to rip you off, IMO. Depending on what exchange you are on, and if there is an OPTUS exchange near to you, you can do much better by speed and $$$$ and contract conditions.

Check out http://whirlpool.net.au/
Enter your phone number and go from there. PM me, if you want more help.

Check out my speeds in post #67, as an example, and I am a long way from my ISP.

Don't understand one iota about this website, compared with the other one. This one says:

"Loaded 340,781 bytes in 0.195 seconds from TOAST.net server."

http://www.toast.net/

 

I think that my neighbors may have the fastest internet speed in the world.

nah, its fake.:-D

is it believable? i only spent about 5 minutes photoshopping it.

 

lol spec can I come over next time I want to expand my music collection?

 

Think we all can tap into his connection and still have plenty left over. I wish, mine is sooo bad...to far from, old wiring, you name it, I've got the problem. Every now and then they have pity on me and come to try and help me.

 

Well, don't know if this is fast or not...Closest server to me was in Atlanta, Ga and I'm using Comcast....http://www.speedtest.net/result/299402673.png
