Can I Be Part of The Club Now?

[Shannon]

The broadband club. I just connected my DSL modem about an hour ago and I can't believe the speeds I'm getting. My highest so far is 54.9kbps.

512k rocks! 👍

 

[Jugend]

Good for you. I dunno about the broadband though, isn't it defined as 2mbit or higher?

 

[Mike Rotch]

Im on a work line. How do i find out the exact speed of my line?

 

[Cobraboy]

128k

 

[Mike Rotch]

*Edit: 98.7 kbps 👍

 

[Jugend]

Found a TPtest but it hooks up only to a server in my region. I got tcp ~7mbit/s in/out and udp ~9.5mbit/s in and out, I'm pleased

 

[Vasco]

Good to see you've joined teh club Shannon. 👍

I read somewhere that broadband is anything higher than 256k. I might be wrong though.

I did some research and the definition seems to be floating, depending on country, So well call it broadband then 👍
Anyway, a huge increase in speed is always a joy.

hee hee.

Here is a speed test.

1500/128 line.

Heh. Heh. Heh.
I love my connection here at college.

Well...

I guess it'll do...

Edit: That's the first time I've seen an upload 1 meg faster than the download. Wow.

 

[miata13B]

not what I'm used too. . .

It rules, don't it?


The only thing I gotta say is get a firewall.

not too shabby

very fast (3mbit barrier not shown)
dude! (5mbit barrier not shown)

I suck, well my line does

 

[LoudMusic]

HA! Best non-collegant speed so far.

 

[miata13B]

yeah but I guess it compensates for your "upload"

 

[LoudMusic]

Yeah, I don't know what was up with that. Our upload is actually 384kbps. Which still isn't as fast as yours, but not bad either.

Edit: You know what, though. Our connection is actually 4mbit, so this isn't entirely accurate. I also have 60 other people here using my connection (:

using DSL. . . That is normal to not be up to the 384kbps . . . DSL companies offer up to said upload speed, but never truly deliver the whole load unless the DSLAM is right outside your house. . . Most DSL companies will do nothing to increase that speed too. . . But if your using cable I just made myself a "no talent arse clown"

 

[LoudMusic]

I'm actually using cable, you no talent arse clown (: Comcast business cable. We also have SWBell DSL, but it blows. It's 6mbit, which I have maxed out, but we get less than 800kbit on single connections. It took 50+ mp3 downloads (did I just say that!?) to get it to max out.

Heh.

 

[toyomatt84]

I WIN!!!

 

[Acid X]

WOw. thats awesome, Toyo. What company do you use, or are you sharing a network?

 

[emad]

talk about crazy uploads...
Your download speed : 234469 bps, or 234 kbps.
A 28.6 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 2915451 bps, or 2915 kbps.

I'm using the wireless lan at my school. My upstream at home is capped to 12k/sec and downstream to 110k/sec. I'm gonna have to yell at my ISP since the uploads are capped to half of what they said I should have.

College network. I believe the host is a T3, not quite sure. Des Moines, IA is the location.

That's fast? or are you being sarcastic? Check my post for fast.

Just because this test shows you something lower than you expect doesn't mean that you're not getting your full paid speed. Try uploading several files at the same time and combine their send speeds. There are other ways to test this, but these online tests are generally a bit low.
