I'd like to see somebody with fiber post their results.

This is funny...an old thread resurrected one day after I get the station's WAN upgraded from 16/2 to 50/5.

I've been using the "speakeasy" test for a few years now...gives you a "real world" feeling for what to expect...

D = 39.56 Mbs.
U = 03.98 Mbs.

Now, I'll test it later today once everyone gets out of the building...

This is on a "CharterBiz" copper-wire service.

I remember in the pre-browser days login into a chicago university unix as guest using Hytelnet and watching a jpeg display literaly scanline by scanline (porn of course, the only place to get porn in them days was from a university archives , and you had to know what you where doing). I also remember online chatting with "redsonja" and "shadow", two girls at the universities online study and after finaly convincing them that I was not in fact sitting at a terminal in their lab all of us being blown away that this was possible. Times change.

Interesting I tested on 10/31 with 8500 and 12600 DL, today under 2400 DL ??

Justin, I have ComCr*P, and HAD severe dropouts, usually at weather changes. Like as the morning warm up occcured. They (over god knows how many visits) replaced connectors. Finally found the one at the pole was bad. Been near bullet proof since.

10 dl, 14.4mbps upload on FiOS. I'm in the middle of streaming a webinar through a VPN though so a huge amount of bandwidth is taken up by that. Not sure what the resurrection post is on about...satellite is a completely different connection than any cable.

Well, it seems the best city for me to download porn from will be Dallas.

Washington, D.C. is the slowest, probably due to all the Senators and Congresspeople hogging all the good sites.

Glad I ain't paying for it - gotta imagine being "faster than 99% of the US" doesn't come cheap!
