Title: Slow High Speed ?
Post by UN solved on Aug 31st, 2007, 6:46pm
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 !

"1MB file download 1.3 seconds"

How does that compare?

Thats the test I took.

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 !

I can't view half the stuff you link to Bro 'cuz I'd be waiting forever.  LOL.  Since I'm the only one on 2 mi stretch of road with electricity, I doubt they will be stringing cable any time soon :(

1257 kilobytes per second, FWIW.  Cable.  

Guess I shouldn't complain.

Best,

George

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  :P

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.

Can anyone here tell a dummy like me how to test my connection speed?

Title: Re: Slow High Speed ?

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

This result from another test site.

4.3 megabits per second

Communications 4.3 megabits per second
Storage 522.4 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 2 seconds
Subjective rating Awesome

Results for Comcast Minneapolis from:

http://www.speedtest.net/

9.8 Mbs down and 2.55 Mbs up! [smiley=laugh.gif]

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.
