Re: What speed do you surf the net? Take the test!

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

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
