Me:2515.4 Kbps Cable modem at home through a router and about 50' of LAN cable.

[Katie Reynolds]

816 kbps ... SBC Yahoo DSL.


I'm on a wireless connection ... the 'home portal' sits in the den, right under my room (about 14-15 feet away.) I'm also connected at 11.0 mbps

Wasn't there a thread something like this awhile ago?

[henryBsick]

34.2 Kbps ;)

[mtaman02]

263.7 Kbps - Over DSL> Router >Wireless Adapter at 11Mbps - Not bad huh =)

[Vu2000]

5440 Kbps - You

It's kind of wowing me right now too, its only a Cox cable connection. Along with a router and a 130+ ft cable going from my main house, this connection is decent, and CNET might be deceiving me, but the results seem consistent.

[OneAngryDaisy]

4382.4 Kbps - You

not too bad, the connection goes up and down here- my roommate and I hit 9000+ kbps regularly on data transfers.. its amazing sending movies to eachother within minutes

[Bcahn836]

1192.3 Kbps

Not bad for DSL in the middle of nowhere a little slow this morning for some reason

[Will Hanashiro]

[HFSbF5]

:ahh: Infinity Kbps - You :ahh:

This is what happens if you hit the back button, let it show you the new speed, and do it again.

Make sure you don't hit the back button to do a second test!

btw, I had a 1000 or so kb connection at school with a T1.

[Dara_Ter]

360.2 Kbps - You

This is my high school connection. Which is pretty sad seeing as it is supposed to be a T1 connection.

[Ryan M.]

2463.8 kbps

Cable connection (RoadRunner). 50ft of cable between me and my router, 3 other computers on the network (don't know what they were doing with activity), Apache installed and available to the outside world, so that may have had some influence. But not bad. :)

[Jay H 237]

1314 Kbps - You

Lower than I would have thought. :o
This is with 6' cable going to my router and then 6' of cable to the cable modem. I didn't test this with my wireless network and no other computers were on when I did this. I should also mention the cable line to the modem comes off a 5 way splitter in the garage.

[Levin571]

On Earthlink Dial-up

The cable company said it would cost $7000 to run the cable line to our house - all of a sudden my connection seemed fast enough. I'm thinking about getting satellite internet - anybody know any good ones?

[Joe Matt]

Road Runner through a cable modem to a 802.11g Linksys Wireless Router to an HP Laptop with integrated wireless.

Wow! I'm sure glad I dumped the dial-up a while back!

I'll have to check my speed at school tomorrow. Thanks for the link to the speed test Elgin!!

Mine is at 4430 kbps. This is on K-State network. The network is a little slow at the present moment when everyone in the building is on.

[Adam Shapiro]

Whether or not you have an 11Mbps connection (typically wireless) has no effect on your connection speed unless you are running at a T1 or better. Typical broadband modems have a cap around 1.5Mbps so your average network settings will not slow it at all (unless you have a large surplus of computers using your bandwidth).

Whether or not you have an 11Mbps connection (typically wireless) has no effect on your connection speed unless you are running at a T1 or better. Typical broadband modems have a cap around 1.5Mbps so your average network settings will not slow it at all (unless you have a large surplus of computers using your bandwidth).

Remember that wireless has a large tendancy to have a lot of packet loss. Your theoretical maximum speed may be 11 mbps, but rarely is that speed seen.

Microwaves, along with many other common household devices such as cordless phones operate on the same frequencies as wirelss internet. Any such devices will cause packet loss and higher ping times.

I've seen it happen.

Also remember that T1 is only 1.544 mbps -- not much faster than common cable modems on the downstream side.

Some kind of kink in the programming. If you calculate your speed and then hit the back button it recalculates your speed as infinity.

Anyway, I'm at 2017.5 on the school network.

erm .. yeah, that kinda sucks out here in the Back Mountain. If you saw this place you'd never think there was Cable out here, but it all depends on who lives out here. ;)

But you might get that speed sustained versus many of these readings are at a burst speed. Like mine ( 384k on sdsl).

On Comcast (formerly attbi roadrunner) (cable) using Firefox. I think I need to add a firefox bar to the sig, because if you're in FIRST and using a computer that can support Firefox, you should be running it.

[Roland]

1147 Kbps, but it's faster when I'm not uploading anything. As a data point, I'm not using Firefox and I don't care one way or the other whether you use Firefox. Even Safari 1.0 runs better than Firefox on OS X.

[Petey]

685.4 Kbps - You

That is through a hub, another 10BaseT hub, and my router.

On my home network--at least two cat five jacks in every room of the house--we've got six computers, one of which is my webserver.

It isn't the most efficient setup in the world, what with all the cables running through the walls and all the hubs, but not bad at all.

I think www.dslreports.com/stest gives me a lower speed though....
Yup (http://www.dslreports.com/speedtests/344359;417639;3e6eb748c3998284eb567e2c2b3a7152;3.0 ;www.dslreports.com/1105808671)

336/407 down/up, according to dslreports.com/stest

May I suggest a cross-reference with that site?

Incidentally--for anyone who has the opportunity, don't use TDS.net as an ISP. We used to use Tellink, the local NHPS provider, and even when we were paying for 512/128 they were giving us 1500/500. They just didn't choke the bandwidth. TDS does, and does it to a point where it is much slower than the 768 we're now paying for. We stuck with them because I had a static IP with tellink, but it may not be worth it anymore. We're looking at going over to cable now--they wouldn't give us a static IP, but my server doesn't get a lot of traffic, and I can just use dynamic DNS from www.freedns.afraid.org
