Internet speeds
 

Just out of curiousity (and boredom) how fast is your internet connection? You can get a free test here: http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

Post your speeds and your connection type. :) High speeds will be applauded, low will be ridiculed. ;)

My speed: ~2.4 (over 3 tests) (faster than T-1! Wow!) Connection: Cable :)

Re: Internet speeds
 

1.1 Mbps That's wireless 802.11b connected to comcast cable modem.

Re: Internet speeds
 

Meh...148 kilobits. Thats a wireless connection via pci to my toshiba cable modem, which hopefully explains the reason that my internet is much, much slower than average connecticut cable.
(802.11b)

Re: Internet speeds
 

Heh. I'm still stuck on 640k/180k DSL. Same price ($50/mo) and same speed since we first got it 4 years ago. It's a rip-off.. but there's no competition.

Re: Internet speeds
 

I got 2.4 megabits per second. This is through a SMC router then through my Motorola cable modem. This was all hard wired, I didn't have any of my laptops on to go through my wireless cards (802.11b) and my D-Link base antannea first before going to the router.

Re: Internet speeds
 

I used to have either 1.6 or 1.8 Mbps for $40 per month but that was only a trial and now I'm at about 300K. :( I'll be switching to 1.6 Mbps DSL for $30 per month. :)

Re: Internet speeds
 

1.4 megabits per second for a DSL, pretty good.
I love my DSL, i just switched my old slow and boring dial up, i am glad i did. LOL

Re: Internet speeds
 

Wow... And I thought my Cable Modem speed was slow.. I guess not.

3.2 megabits per second

Side note: I tried this test at school a few hours ago, and I got an error that my speed was either too fast or to slow to determine..
I'm guessing too fast!

Re: Internet speeds
 

1.8 mb per second

comcast cable isn't so bad. :)

Re: Internet speeds
 

3.4 megabits per second... not bad, considering I'm on a 802.11b connection to a crappy Linksys router, which is connected to a Motorola cable modem.

Re: Internet speeds
 

this is embarassing... I'll have to redo this at my place:
this is Jack Flash (epix) DSL wireless 802.11b netgear on an old modem :(

... hehe, ya'll wait... my apt. has a new motorola with Adelphia High Speed Cable, and running a Super G... rawr! :eek: I'll post when I get back down there.

I ran the bandwidth speed test on the wireless connection at Bird Library at Syracuse University and topped out around 4.7.... now THAT was good :)

Very good, considering I pay for 1.5 Mbps (187 KB/s) , which means I'm getting 98% of my advertised line speed.:cool:

Re: Internet speeds

Re: Internet speeds
 

I had to do this as a comparison:

If you look back.. you'll see my DSL reading on THE SAME set-up. :yikes:
I'll try to post one on the Super G later, or have Scott or Robert come in and post the Super G.

Re: Internet speeds
 

That test's filesize is way too small to be accurate. It says my line speed is only about 3.5mbit but running wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/...i386-disc4.iso is getting about 8-9mbit. I get about the same upstream, too.

From DSLreports.com:

Your download speed : 5393326 bps, or 5266 kbps.
A 658.3 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed is much faster than down.. have you tweaked?
Your upload speed : 7398273 bps, or 7224 kbps.

Im at the same place as Mel. Guess the internet just likes me better :cool:

Re: Internet speeds
 

I love how the upstream is faster than downstream in dorms. Bunch of leechers! :)

Re: Internet speeds
 

mmmmm my internet can beat up you're internet....

Re: Internet speeds
 

I can authenticate this :D

Re: Internet speeds
 

I got 2.3 then 3.3 then 3.1 on Comcast cable in MA through a Linksys Router and some old Toshiba modem I got back when MediaOne still provided cable for Western MA (AKA: about 5-6 years ago). Not too bad. Faster then T1 apparently. T1 is useless anyway. T3 Corporate or optical cable! :D

Re: Internet speeds
 

Test 1: 2.7
Test 2: 2.8
Test 3: 3.2

and that's with AOL running! :cool:

Re: Internet speeds
 

1.6 MB/s (faster then T-1) on Comcast cable in New England (after I called them and had them fix my connection).
