Test your internet connection speed???
 

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

thought some might be able to use this, it gives both download and upload speeds

Download Speed: 4964 kbps (620.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 619 kbps (77.4 KB/sec transfer rate)

Seems fairly accurate..a lot of times with these tests you get inconsistent results though.

you can try http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php

Which works pretty good. I always do the smart test.

Mine is usually very high. even when I had my cable modem it was very high, but changed the cable out for DSL. saved a few bucks every month for it.

school computers suck...

i should try it directly from the server... T1 connection anyone

Slow up-load speeds. I guess that's consistent with cable modems? I see a big difference in down-load and up-load speeds. Would DSL be more evenly matched?

Cable, server out of NY, NY.

I should try it from SCSU's servers. That school has an amazing connection, has to be T1 or better.

Thats what I get on my laptop through my wireless. Looks average for the set up I guess.

thats frign weak.. i call false advertising on brighthouse networks !

T1 maxes out at just above 1500Kb/sec. Modern cable and DSL connections are much faster.

I get 750 down, 300 up connected to cable, through the VPN at work. I'll have to try it when I'm disconnected.

well we are temporaily on T1 while the tower gets repaired.. got struck by lightening, then the crane operator nocked the tower throwing it out of calibration or something

First time I tried it, the download was 468.... Closest to me is Atlanta.

3350 kbps download, 1150 kbps upload, using the Dallas server.

Tried this at work.

I'll try this at home as well...I seem to have marginally better speed there...

Tried again at work and got 3396 and 1296, respectively...

Optimum, well plus it was going to the NY server. Everything is fast around her lots of traffic, all the cables are fiber optic. I consider my connection to be average. The ones at school and work are much faster.

Lose a lot hooking up to Seatle.

BUMP!!!

Down Speed: 11591 Kbps or 11.6 Mbps (1415 kB/s)
Up Speed: 363 Kbps or 0.4 Mbps (44 kB/s)

Down is good, but up sucks...

I have Comcast, but the connection likes to drop...

Here it is at work. Thought it would have been faster...

Work:
Download Speed: 2993 kbps (374.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 2671 kbps (333.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

FYI

A t1 is only 1.5 mb/s.

I would not call that slow, I would kill for that connection! I can get that download me speed but 1785 upstream would cost me mucho grande.

Chicago from work

11909 down
9668 up

the rest are about half that speed

Hmmm, I'm a little better now at work. Everybody's gone home.

Not bad for being in the sticks; it is the fastest available.

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

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.

I have Verizon Fios (Fiber) but I'm on the road at the moment. It"s rated at 50 down and 5 up. I'll post when I return.

You guys are welcome for the cool speedtest link. :)

Rumor has it, that they are working on 100 down - don't know how soon they'll offer it.

1483 download 1429 upload, Dallas server.

Its probably where I live. I am pretty close to NY, I am sure the cables are up to date. Now I just need to buy a new computer to take full advantage. I'm thinking about going Mac!

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.

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... :rolleyes:

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

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.

Post #1 - Date: 10-31-2006

That's resurrection... ;)

Post #40 was today, thus resurrecting the thread. Probably found it by search engine

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

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

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

I have 12/1.5 but can get 24/3 if I pay more.......no need....even a full HD stream doesn't max my connection.
