Test your internet speed.

This is one of my links that i use alot to check if my internet speed is low or high.

When my connection is good I hit around 2000 kbps.

Or This one

http://performance.toast.net/

 

testmy.net

 

ya thats defently good.......

 

On the second link I got this

29003 Kb
I am using comcast

 

Cached test page.

 

and it was a text page too fasterfox is aweosme.

 

Personally I tend to use
http://www.dslreports.com/stest
Or
http://www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp

I usually get accurate results between them.

 

I've been using the one below, someone posted on this forum a few months ago

Back when I had cable I used the below...

mines slow. dont think its supposed to be that slow. (i got verizon DSL)

 

Mine is running pretty good today

Actually my speed has picked up since I had the internet phone from Mediacom installed. I was getting about 3 but now I'm averaging around 4.5

 

This was with me downloading something at the same time.

 

In get 1.5mbps comcast says they are at 6mbps!!! maybe it's because I am over a wireless b conenction but I am getting an 86% signal strength and it is supposed to support 11mbps, I am only networked with 1 wired computer. the router and PC are about 20 feet apart. I am using a linksys BEFW11S4 broadband router, it is un encrypted and from what I can tell it doesn't seem like anyoen is stealing bandwidth, is there a program that will let me monitor bandwidth? and not just what my PC is using but like whatever the router is sending and recieving.

 

Speed tests are poor indicators of performance, usually because they are flooded, or halfway across the country.

Needless to say, 802.11b wireless actually bottlenecks your connection, even if you had full signal strength. 802.11b only gets about 4-5Mbps.

 

I keep trying to convince my parents to get vonage, it comes with a nearly free router after rebates and it is a linksys wireless g. my stupid parents pay quest $50 a month+long distance for phone service

 

Not to mention any overheads incurred by security like WPA (WEP is hardware based so shouldn't cause much added overhead).

 

I'm too embarrassed to do a speed test.

I already know it. Pathetic 1.5 Mbps throttled to 512 Kbps.


Then throttled to 28.8 Kbps if I download more than 1GB!

 

Actually, WPA is supposed to have less overhead than WEP, in at least in conjunction with 802.11g.

 

Oh how I wish this was my speed at home... (this is me at work-- campus computer lab)

 

That upload speeds awsome,I wonder what kinda game servers you could run off it

 

It would be great for VOIP.

 

Crystal clear webcam,if your webcam was up to scratch

 

its verizon, so its about half the speed its supposed to be?

 

at internetFrog my down was 1.24 Mbps
but the up was way up, not what I thought 56.7Mbps
I have dsl 1.5 down, and 356 up......I'm with sbc, if that's who own's it this week.........firewall, router, to wireless router to computer........wobbles

 

22018 kbps

 

Would anyone know of a Netgear VPN router setting that would prevent uploading? Just had to reconfigure my connection and can't upload or send email.

Thanks for any help.

 

Using Broadstar, no "tweaking", LinkSys switch (sharing with roommate), school campus T3:

What's strange is this switch has a higher upload, while the Dynex one I was using before had a higher download. Either way, apparently there are a lot of people on the connection right now to make it this slow (advertised as 100MBPS).
