Post your internet speeds here

This is what I got out of Comcast... It seems that my upload is not as good as most.



Kinda wish I had a better upload.

Can someone tell me what is wrong with this picture.

I don't use AT&T, I use Mediacom. I don't think Mediacom is a big enough ISP to have it's own...thingy...on that speedtest website.

Here's mine, though wish the upload was slightly better. It seems to never go over 45KB/s...



EDIT:

Here's another used at Broadband Reports.

You might want to unplug your modem, that was mentioned earlier in the thread. Those who have done so recently had their speeds upgraded automatically...

Cogeco Cable. It's got fairly good download speed, but crappy upload. I suspect they throttle high traffic ports, since switching ports for torrents can have fairly dramatic speed boosts on downloads. It also doesn't seem to like IRC ports, since I keep getting disconnected unless I use port 5555 or try SSL.

Trying to download as much crap as possible now, so when I go back to university I avoid silly bandwidth caps and horrible support for anything but port 80.

You have port blocks at college? Well, I suppose I'm in the minority then. My internet at college is completely unblocked. BitTorrent, mIRC, FTP, HTTP, whatever. I used to run a CS server at Virginia Tech, until I had realized how much of a pain it was to keep up and how much of an asshole CS players are.

Would be acceptable if it wasn't 15 GB/month.

Is this good? I don't even know, compared to everyone. I am assuming it's alright.

Finally got my new internet through comcrap today. This'll due until fiber is installed in my area (its quickly spreading through this area of Sacramento).

It seems my ISP made a silent upgrade~

Gah, these flash-based speed testers are kinda wacky. After doing 5 tests that was best my connection could muster. A lot of the other test servers were much worse, basically thinking I have a 1mb/128kb connection ._.


This looks about right.
I still have a 5mb download connection but my upload speed practically tripled! I usually upload things at 40~45KB/sec, now I'm cruising at 120~130KB/sec. As a ftp op this is total win.
I know, it's nothing compared to what you guys in California or New York are getting at similar prices. But you got to keep in mind that I am in the middle of the pacific ocean. Technology here is scarce!

So, seriously, how does that translate to actual speeds ? <_<

You mean in more familiar terms like Kilobytes? A quick way of finding that out is to divide your results by 8. Since you know, 8 bits equals one byte of data.

So, according to your results your speeds are around:
682 KB/sec when downloading
120 KB/sec when uploading

I guess I should be happy with that. XD Upload seems a bit low compared to Comcast. Fortunately I don't do a large amount of it.

Holy FUCK... I never knew it was THIS bad..

Alexandria Egypt, btw, TeData network, still im sharing this 2 Mbps connection with 30 people so..

Bump.



I've switched from Comcast to AT&T due to Comcast being very overpriced. I'm still waiting for Surewest to expand their fiber network into my community. Last time I talked to them they said they should be able to after the FCC passes that new rule that doesn't allow MDUs (multiple dwelling units) to keep exclusive contracts with certain ISPs in these communities. And of course AT&T is the exclusive telephone company for this community meaning surewest can't bring their fiber to the home business here. But not for long~

I guess you guys can tell I got rid of comcast by these reports lol. FiOs all the way.

Funny how that Comcast cable you ditched still nets me better download results.
