So just how slow can it go ?? Even DSL at home is faster than this! I'm only getting about 500k download speed. I checked it twice, through 2 different server locations.
At least the price is right ... (free) ... cause I wouldn't pay for this @ home

Happy surfin' everyone !
BTW. .. If you understood that ... you spend way too much time on the computers !

Pretty nice Jonny ! Nobody could bitch about that speed either !  I'm assuming you are on cable broadband too ! No one around is faster than I am, except for the universities who are on T1 or T3 lines. Those are lightening fast. There's absolutely no waiting for anything !

1257 kilobytes per second, FWIW. Cable.
Guess I shouldn't complain.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Not too bad George, but not great either. Your speed will vary due to # of people on the network, computer settings, etc. Different times of the day will bring different speeds. In comparison:
In the Louisville Metro Area:
AT&T DSL
786k = $14.95 month
1500k= $19.95 month
3000k = $24.95 month
6000k= $34.95 month
InsightBB Cable Broadband
10,000k = $30.00 month (residential)
15,000k= $89.00 month (business)
Bluegrass T1 services
100Mbps = $599.00 month

12 MBytes/sec. Nothing beats a 5.7 Ghz,transceiver to a UUNET router on the internet backbone. Actually a T-3 would be 30 times faster. But I'll never be able to get one.

Results for Comcast Minneapolis from:
http://www.speedtest.net/
9.8 Mbs down and 2.55 Mbs up!
Would probably be even better with a new router.
Of course the 6 computers on my network need the bandwith and the cost is $46 per mo.

Thanks, Don.
Here's my results:
Download Speed: 1383 kbps (172.9KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 333 kbps (41.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
I have no idea if it's good or bad. I'm behind a company firewall right now - not sure if that affects speed or not.
Good enough for my purposes, I guess.
