Internet speed

[dirty_g]

Hi there. Just thought I would get everybody to check their internet speeds. I'm actually more interested in upload speeds than downloads. I can get 0.73 as my best upload. What's yours? Check on the site and post yours. I'm led to believe that my upload is below average fro the world. Just wanted to check with everybody else.

Heres mine.

Go to www.speedtest.net and check yours for your own P.C.
:lol:

Ohh we could have a competition winner gets a years supply of toilet paper

[dirty_g]

By the way my global rank is for my download speeds. It doesn't really care about upload speeds for global ranking.

At work. Your download speeds are envious.

[Studioguy]

At this time of day, my download speeds are great since it's a cable modem. It will deteriorate later in the day when kids get home from school and people get home from work. My uploads are pretty consistent though.

[dirty_g]

yeah but you guys were at work. Do it at home it must be fastser there!! yes my download is quick but I'm all about the upload baby!!:lol:

Thats a really good upload speed though!!!

I tried mine again and I cannot get better than 0.73 which is supposedly ok for my country but not for the world.....

[Studioguy]

Weird. I re-uploaded it and it seems to be viewable now. My upload speed is 2.94Mb/s.

[NEOWatcher]

Mine seems to be backwards.
1.2Mb Down, and 13.33 up. (50 miles)
but; go farther, and it appears to balance out
1.22Mb Down, 0.48 up (2750 miles)

This service is advertised as 6 Mb/1 Mb so I'm doing okay. Upload seems a bit lacking.

This is running through ZoneAlarm and a hardware firewall/router if that makes any difference.

I'll have to try this from work tomorrow where I regularly see 3+ MB/s - that's megabytes - on downloads.

Is this good?

From the laptop, so it may show some degradation due to the wLAN connection.

University Guys.......... They always have mad fast speeds........ heh heh if you played a fps on there that would be mad!!

I notice that people in the UK seem to have bad upload speeds...... Something my country needs to sort our in general :cry:

[dirty_g]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/462486937.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Got a slightly better download with this one. Thing is I get better connections to Continental Europe than I do to the UK....... Doing a Maidenhead connection gives me this....

I guess it's not so impressive, given what others have posted. (Thanks for stealing my thunder you rats.) I was pretty chuffed when I downloaded a 4 GB disc imagee in under half an hour the other day though.

If my upload speed was like yours id be more than chuffed!!! Considering its not a UNI connection its brilliant. :lol:

No matter how many servers I try I just cant hit past 0.73 upload........... bah!!

Now, now, this isn't a race. We'll all get to the same Internet in good time. :naughty:

Is this speed test accurate? I tested my home computer, which is on Comcast cable, and got surprisingly high numbers. But it seems doggish. I know that cable connections suffer when too many people are logged on.

They suffer when too many people are using the bandwith.
The bandwith is shared. As long as no one is using its connection, its all yours up to your maximum connection speed.

Yes, thanks. But I believe I just said I knew that.

[cjl]

Not bad, not bad...

Actually, what's impressive about that one is that it does not appear to be a university connection.

[galacsi]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/462563693.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I did it at home , at work I am sure it is much better. . except for the firewalls !

All that for 19.90 E a month. It is an ADSL 512Kb line. If I have been a little smarter I could have had a 1 Mb connection for the same amount. If I upgrade to 29.90 E / month I can have a 8 Mb ADSL connection. That the maximum where I live. But I am not sure I will do it , I like too much my hard won Euros to let them go in Orange (France Telecom) pocket !

http://www.speedtest.net/result/464864382.png

Better still at some friends' house whilst feeding their cat. I was expecting better from a cable connection that claims 100 Mb/s, although I'm limited to 54 Mb/s by my wireless card.

Does the isp really claim 100Mb/sec? That's the standard connection speed within a local area network, but that is not the normal speed for an actual internet line. You probably could get 100Mb/sec if you were transferring between two computers on the same LAN in your house, but it's not surprising that the internet connection itself is far slower than that.

[Chuck]

That's what I was told but maybe they misunderstood what they were getting or I misunderstood them. Before I got my wireless card I hooked up to their router with a cable and my connection seemed incredibly fast, much faster than what I'm getting now. That was a few years ago, though. YouTube videos arrived at several times the actual playing speed. Now the incoming video is barely staying ahead of the actual playing of it.

You're probably right, though. I was never getting 100 Mb/s from The Internet.

[Chuck]

It looks like the best speed offered by Cox Communications is 20 Mb/s. I'm certainly not getting that but this isn't my house so I don't know what they actually signed up for.

[dirty_g]

i got 20 meg download which i nearly get. It did slow down so i called them up and they fixed it. Mind you most days its only about 16 meg

[dirty_g]

my maximum download speed is apparently 20 meg so imagine my surprise when I get this....http://www.speedtest.net/result/467909296.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Still cant get above 0.73 upload though!!! Bah

[cjl]

Hmm... looks like today is a good day for my speed :)

http://www.speedtest.net/result/468004534.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Of course, with my connection to the router at 100 Mb/s, I won't get anything too much faster than this, regardless of actual internet speed...

[ciderman]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/468604638.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Better than I normally get from my ISP tbh..

[cjl]

Well, today, I moved out of the dorms for the summer, so now my internet looks like this:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/468797752.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

It's a bit low because it's around peak usage right now - I can get more like ~10Mb/s at other times of day. Still quite a downgrade from the result above though...

i tried to beat your 93.9, highest i got was 93.3 hehe ill try tommorow :P

[cjl]

If you're looking to beat me in download alone, you'll need to do even better than that. I got 94.66 the other day, as shown here :)

Well, it isn't too bad, but you could always do better...

Welcome to the normal world of slow internet!!

Welcome to the normal world of slow internet!!

Yes, though that was on an exceptionally bad day, apparently. Today, I've consistently had this:

Honestly, I don't see it as anything to complain about - although I really like the stupidly fast internet I used to have, there's nothing wrong with ~20Mbit cable.

Stratford now where's that?? Looked at the companies that provides this speed tests website they have on their advert screen showing their computers a really messy desk with a empty bottle of Jack Daniels on it. Id love for the totally wrecked people at that company to look after my business needs. Anyway back to Stratford apparently its closer to me than London. Though I still get better connections if I do a test on Amsterdam server. Weird

[Veeger]

I had a feeling this would turn into a "my data pipe is bigger than yours" but I must admit: I would love to experience near 100mbs speed for once. It would probably mean I could access crappy content 100 times quicker. Whoopee.

[dirty_g]

whoah quickest speed I can get in my own country. My data pipe is good enough for me. My xbox on the other hand.............

Actually, there isn't that much of a difference between 100Mbps and 10Mbps in most cases. A lot of download servers can't supply the full connection, so it isn't quite as fast as you might think. Of course, when you get a good server, it's amazing - I downloaded MATLAB R2008b in something like 40 seconds when I was offered the free upgrade from r2007a for example.

If I had your upload i'd be very happy and your download speed is fine as well!!
