How fast are you?
 

I found this very nice speed test for internet connection:

http://www.speedtest.net/

Mine goes up to 4.8 Mbps. So, how fast is yours?

Aurel

Mine's wimpy. 3.8 Mbps. I'm not sure what my work connection would be...

3.77 Mbps downloading on the Cincinnatti server
4.44 Mbps onthe Chicago server

4.8 Mbps down, tested several site. Using Timewarner Cable Roadrunner in Houston

35 kb/s download

78 kb/s upload

I am on a dead end country road running ancient phone cable w/ dial up.

Speedy:)

10.4 down

5.0 up

cincinatti server

165 mph @8500 rpm with targa top off.

700-1200 kbps on my "backup" DSL line.

4.9 seconds in the 40 yrd dash

12.1 down
1.7 up

Upload seems slow...

baseball, baseball, baseball;)

Seems very server-dependent.

I'm on Comcast in Portland OR

6.99 down
0.36 up
Using Portland server

11.56 dowm
0.37 up
Using San Jose server

14.19 down
0.37 up
Using Seattle server

Happy with the downlink, not with the uplink but I don't really use up bandwidth much. Just makes it slow to save big files to the company server.

My bigger bottleneck is how to get internet upstairs to my study. Wireless is really slow. Thinking about getting someone to run Ethernet cable. Only affordable way to do this will be to run it on the outside of the house - yuck.

Depends on my partner... :D

Sorry, had to say it!

3.4 Mbps here with the Chicago server.

Whose service are you using?

8831 kb/s

3.8mb down
400k up.
Comcast, Seattle.

4.2

But I think my wireless router is the bottleneck, not my cable broadband.

740 kb/s Download

124 kb/s Upload

More than enough for what I use the net for. Even better it is only costing me 10 bucks a month. Road Runner Lite

3.7

I honestly do not even know. I go to school at Miami University in Oxford. I was just on their wireless network when I did the speed check.

Seriously, 666 kb/s. :D

8116 download
730 upload

Roadrunner "high speed" from Time Warner

I don't know what to make of these numbers, did the test twice, a different browser each time.

First time:......................................

2968 kb/s Download

361 kb/s Upload



Second Time:..................................
3186 kb/s Download

362 kb/s Upload

Now, doing the test from the laptop connected via the 802.11g wireless network

3.10 down
0.36 up
Using San Jose server

3.22 down
0.37 up
Using Seattle server

So something's gotta be done about the wireless network bottleneck. Any ideas? I could upgrade to 802.11n now that the new n-enabled Airport is available, and get new WLAN cards or USB adapters for the notebooks.

i have a light connection ...3 Mbps/1 Mbps
if i were to pay 59 euro's instead of 33, i'de have 20 Mbps/2 Mbps

2889/737

Exactly what I'm paying $29.95/mo. for through Verizon DSL. When I had Verizon DSL in SoCal 8 yrs ago, it was horrible. They seem to have their act together now and priced well too. YMMV

You can read reviews, do testing and troubleshooting at www.dslreports.com

Waiting for ViOS to get here. Would rather go without than consider cable with T/W.

Pegged the meter in both directions.

But this was on my work computer.. and it sits right on the SONET ring internet backbone in Dallas.

:D

I'm pretty consistent at 1.5Mbps download and 500kbps upload using my DSL.

Near the same as Art, SBC DSL is yielding 1574 kbs download and 388 kb/s upload. I'd go cable modem but my provider is Time Warner...no thanks.

Local server

9615 kbps download
367 kbps upload

Is that good or bad?

Better than average download, worse than average upload. You can get the porn much quicker than you can send it. :D

Not bad, I guess.

Going have to work on this
 

To you networking-savvy guys, here is a test of the new Airport. The weakness appears to be slow NAT on the WAN port. Is this a showstopper for home use, do you think? I do not have any fancy home network in mind - just the basic cable modem -> airport -> PC/mac via LAN and WLAN.

Well, I'm stuck using my Cell phone for a data connection today. I decided to check the speed. I'm surprised it is 256kbs download! I'd say pretty darn good for an Edge phone. Upload is 80-90kbps.

12/10 at work

3533 down, 353 up on Comcast DSL.

OK... I got 1.5mb up and 1.5mb down. Very consistent every time.
We have a T1 line.. what should I get?
