How fast is your connection?

[Starfox1701]

I have a few options depending on traffic.

 

[Adm_Z]

Heres mine. I also have reg Comcast. as far as I'm aware they have an even faster version, But I"m just running the regular one. Also, I"m on a laptop with wifi, not a direct modem.



Or from DC

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Yup, there's faster Comcast... >_> (there's reportedly the basic, which is something like 8 megabits a second connection, a middle one, which is like 12 megabits, and then a higher one at like 22 megabits a second.)

I keep slowing down.

 

[Adm_Z]

Haha! Heres my laptop direct connected to my router.

 

[Amateur]

It's not nuclear powered like some of yours, but it's the best BT can give me

And to be perfectly honest I don't need anymore than that

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Honestly if everything on the internet operated at that speed I'd be more than happy with that speed than mine.

Finally got my home wireless network issues sorted This is with all four 'puters, the PS3, and the XBox online with multiple browser windows open. Of course, I am sure I could tweak the settings some still, but this is adequate for most purposes and the ping goes down considerably whenever everyone else is offline.

Testing my main computer once more:



Around the same, it seems.

Laptop test now:



Much better.

Time of day matters too

Those ratings are great!



Mine's not the highest, but has been remaining relatively stable and reliable for about the last year, however, with the uncertainty being...

Download: 23.0 +/- 1.0MB/s.
Upload: 2.3 +/- 0.2MB/s.

 

[Huet]

Well, I'm technically "out in the sticks", and my DSL connection definitely reflects it, but honestly I don't notice a whole lot of difference between this and my 20mbit connection I had in the UK.

 

[Hellkite]

I can live with this

 

[K_merse]

That's why we're called the West Balkans Very low upload speed.

Here is mine, been sometime since I did one of these. However the results may not be accurate as Kat is playing online games atm when I did this test and could infulence the results a little.

 

[Styer_Crisis]

oooooooo, maj close, but i beat you, but just barely

Holy *Bleep*:x i didn't realize my relative server location was on there, now you all know my sortta location, but i do still live like 50 mile from that server.

 

[Katala]

oooooooo, maj close, but i beat you, but just barely

Ours tends to fluctuate at different times even though we have had the same connection for about 3 years now lol

all we have to do is look up your ip and trace it to ur current location... one of the many things I do when accepting new members we get a tonne of people applying and saying they are from one place when in fact they are from another...

 

[Hellkite]

LOL would you like to know your Mac number Styer_Crisis



Remember the Ideal of Internet anatomy is truly a fallacy... as such can be proven by anyone knowing the how to and possessing the wiliness to apply said knowledge into that action.

Sigh, Katala, katala, katala
Why do i get the feeling your abusing this?

And actualy i know a thing or 2 about computers and shifting IPs and all that, + the fact that i have nevered entered my real name or address on the internet, or as a matter of fact this computer at all, whenever i register i ALWAYS put styer crisis as my name, and my city as timbukto. i ain't kidding neither. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Edir: Yes thats means i don't get any tech support cuz i never regestered my comp:x:x:x


Edit: No i never get E-mails that say: LIAR LIAR!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hellkite]

MMm

 

[Amateur]

Wow, the speed I actually pay for and then a tiny bit more.

Looks like the new home hub works .

My numbers are still decent

 

[SciFiFan]

I recently changed internet providers. I tested my old service before the switch and the new after. Before, it was .54 mbs download. After, 2.6 mbs download on a 3.0 mbs service.

I don't think this test is all that accurate, we are on a 8000KB Speed and it only registered as this:

 

[karanua]

Thought I'd give it a try

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Thought I'd post this one as I find it kinda funny that my upload is currently faster than download...

 

[Rawks]

I'm at work so I won't post mine Although I did the test and it was surprisingly not that quick for a big business like we are. Meh, what the heck, this is what I got:

I used to work for an ISP, and one trick of the trade is that we advertise the connection speed in bits per second, not bytes. As you can already tell it makes it sound much higher than it really is. So you probably do get the speeds you signed up for, or close to it, but you know you gotta convert it to bytes rather than bits.

We also used to use www.speedtest.net for speed testing customers when they were having connection issues, so it is one of the best out there in terms of tests.

Tell you what though, working customer service for a rural ISP is hard.. when every caller is a farmer or someone from some outback town and they hardly know what a computer is...

Sneaky little buggers aren't they?

I can imagine about the rural part. A lot of city dwellers don't know much about PC's either, it's kind of surprising since they are surrounded by them when compared to a rural community.

Oh Katala is in bed with a bad tooth ache, so it you're wondering why she isn't on this evening that would be why.

And this is why i don't play A2 online

 

[Majestic]

I used to play FO online and this was my latest test:
