Your connection speed and type

[SailorAlea]

I need 1.2


Move to the USA, there's no such thing as an upload or download limit here~ I regularly upload over 50 gigs a month (have done over 100 in 1 month before -_-)

That's not actually true--a lot of ISPs, while they say they offer 'unlimited access' actually will charge you extra if you use an insane amount of bandwidth. A friend of mine was hosting two servers using his cable modem in Maryland (Comcast, or Cox.. I don't remember which) and they gave him a 30$ bandwidth 'fee' at the end of his first month. I hear Verizon does that too.

The site says I download at 3.02 mbps and upload at 30kbsp. I use Comcast Cable.

Looking at that chart, wouldn't mind having a T4 connection.

All australian internet sux, we have telstra to thank for such crap services. DSL2/2+ is just getting phased into aus atm.

 

[DragonDude]

Cable. 3mbps down, and... 384kbps up? Something like that.

I was being sarcastic... the majority of ISPs here don't, where almost every ISP in certain other countries will have them.

Cox supposedly has a 40 gig download limit and 20 gig upload limit per month, but I've at least tripled those in a month and had no repercussions of any kind from them.

Communications 1.7 megabits per second
Storage 202 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 5.1 seconds
Subjective rating Great

At 6.50 mbps, download a:
- 1 MB file in 2 sec
- 10 MB file in 13 sec
- 100 MB file in 2 MIN

Upload speed is 141kbps

Conflicting much?

DSL 512. Verizon, so when it works it is stable and when it is messing up it makes sure it messes up HARD.

 

[frsrblch]

Both of skyriders links gave me the same results:

Communications 1.3 megabits per second
Storage 154.4 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 6.6 seconds
Subjective rating Good

 

[*Gaara*]

to download 76mb takes me about 9-16 seconds.

A few other GOOD Speed checkers:

http://www.numion.com/YourSpeed3/ <-- java, but really sweet. Gives you allot of specs of your interet speed.

http://www.dslreports.com/stest <-- another one

http://giganews.com/test_connect.html <-- also a very good one to check your internet speed.

Your friend got jacked. I use both Cox and comcast and neither charge fee's. Not for mee anyway

Cox: 6mbps (max i dled at was 8mbps) for one low monthly payment of 55 bucks a month

Comcast: 4 mbps for one low monthly price of 30 bucks a month

AOHell: 200 something odd dollars a year (****ing aol)

I win over all u biznitches. Homie. God i'm bored. I miss my car D:

600K download
50K upload

 

[Killface]

I have Netzero Highspeed 3G dial-up internet access. Im supposed to connect at about 48kbps - 53kbps (download) but im only connecting at 26.4kbps, so it really sucks. But it does very good with web browsing because of the 3G accelerator, it feels like highspeed... but it isnt.

Lets see, theoretically i should be downloading at 3.3 kilobytes (26.4 divided by 8, 26.4=connect speed and 8=bits in a byte) but im not sure about my upload, its probably about .8 kilobytes.

I've sent 72 gigs in the last 17 days -_-

/me thinks he needs to change ISPs soon lol

you can download at 26.4 kbs a sec with dielup? I used to have high-speed that could only do 14ks a sec max...

 

[Kurt`]

56kbps (kilobits per second) = 7 k/s (kilobytes per second)

using the same 8 bits in 1 byte logic...

26.4 kbps = 3.3 k/s

There is only kbps and k/s, there is no kbs... you mean kbps.

 

[imported_KelesK]

T1 -ADSL for the win.. In Aus at least until I can get ADSL2

 

[Enix]

Ja, NetZero 3G dial-up is faster because of its webpage downloading technique. From what I understand, it precompresses the data from the site you request and sends it to you compressed, then the software uncompresses it on your pc, and somehow, that is actually faster...Pretty brilliant IMO, but you wont get faster file downloads.

I have a 10mbps connection with my local cable company, I freaking love it and couldn't imagine life without it =p.

No need to be so anal about it. He said 'kb a second', basically kbps.

I personally have a 625KBps down/45KBps up connection (5mbps/360kbps).

 

[sub]

According to the website, my download speed is 10.8 mbps and upload rate is 1.68 mps. I have cable.
