What's Your Internet Connection?

I changed the cable from the modem to the wall with some monster brand cable. I can tell some positive difference!

This is were I run my tests:
http://www.dslreports.com/tools

My test after my cable was installed was:1282/down and 384/up.
I know that is just above my average that I had before. It wasn't a huge jump, but noticeable. Maybe it just makes me feel better mentally.:)

I just tried it again:

We have T1 lines at work and they suck. average speed is like 500mb and upload speed is very bad.

T1 lines are not designed for high speed - only high trafic

so basically if it were a road to drive on? It would be like driving on a 8 lane highway with a 45MPH speed limit.

T1 in a more technical sense are designed for many many users to use simotaniously at a reasonable speed.

T3 connections are nothing more than basically 28 T1 lines banded together as one line - now this one... is fast! 40 lane highway with a 75MPH limit!

[JBELL]

dslreports.com just gave me this......

Test running..........
** Speed 2945(down)/80(up) kbps **
(At least 58 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.

unpingable just means your firewall is not sending a signal back to the source

56k & i cant even get ISDN :( :( :( :(

[Svenn]

I have the worst cable in the world. I used to work for the company, I should know. The boss bought "used and dented servers" I heard from a friend after I had left... They are supposedly upgrading by monday so I may possibly get over 500kbps (or the 200kbps mark I've been struggling with recently)... It's rated at 1.5Mbit/s........

[TheDude]

DSL 1.5 down..384 up and I actually hit those speeds most of the time. Best thing about DSL as opposed to cable is the dedicated line...not sharing bandwidth and no peak time bottlenecks.
Just replaced my Linksys 4 port Hub with a Linkskey 8 port switch ($29 at newegg) connected to linksys router, so I could add several more Folding rigs to network..get 100 speed internally. I was feeling kinda satisfied until I saw JBELLs speed!

[Magnum_]

belgian cable provider called Telenet, does the job...
not THAT satisfied about them (capped speeds + 10gb/month policy :s ), but enough for what I need it. Costs me about 40€ a month...

I've just got standard Time Warner road runner cable. That was just a fluke or something, their speed regulator must not have been working properly or something. It was running that fast though.

Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

29.95 for 1st 6months and then its going to be $45

so Sprint Wireless broadbansd is pretty quick eh? Wow I really love OOL I feel like working for these guys just because of the speed im getting from them. I used to have 768/128 DSL a while ago and this is like a dream come true...

Forgot who was it who had 6000/512 for $99 a month but that is a damn good deal :) Speakeasy only has 3mbit/? for $79 i think:toast:

I heard they had 100Mb connection to the net available and soon they'll enter into the field of gigabit. The country is like a huge lan network :)

Anyway, i have a DSL connection the speed is 8Mb down and 780k up. i can almost watch a divx streamed, and i take more time dl series than watching them. And once the dslam i'm connected to will migrate to the new gen of dsl, i'll have 20Mb down and 1Mb up, i'm so impatient to get those speed (hopefully soon)

I found that france has done a huge leap in dsl offer, i pay €30 for 8Mb (soon 20Mb without more charge) + free national calls + cable TV and the modem can do router and wifi.

Thats not a problem for me because im 20yrs older then you BUT my problem would convincing my wife, She already thinks cable is too much. Oh well :(

True I could do that but I'm jobless and thats actually about the only thing. :D. I don't know if I would actually use that extra 10MB because a lot of sites probably limit the speed of downloads.

Hey Jason, what is your monthly fee? Here, I spent 'bout 40 USD per month for my terrible ADSL connection :((

[jason32287]

um suppose to be 35 for 5/2, 45 for 15/2 and like 100 for 30/5. I'll double check the prices with my step-dad but I'm quite sure thats what they are.

They just started installing FiOS. I think only like 4-5 states have Verizon FiOS available and even then its limited to a few area's the only places in the DFW area that I know of that have it is Keller and a very small part of Grapevine. Keller is just north of Fort Worth.

[jinu117]

I keep wondering at times when will US broadband (be it wired or wireless) match up to that of some foreign countries... I was just browsing a korean site which offers internet service...
here is approximate pricing of product translated...
1) Lite: $20 2Mbps service
2) Premium: $30 8Mbps service
3) Fibre: $30... fibre optics... 32Mbps max service....
And... you know what... 90% of population can be covered in 1 and more than 50% is covered under 3 (just about most apartments are covered and it's rare to have house in definition of house as in America... either you are filthy rich or live in farm land... and even those farm land have above mentioned 1 and 2 services...0_0)
Reason was government involvement in deploying fibre optics through out country a decade ago.
Just the fact US has such low density population vs land mass probably is what is slowing the infrastructure down so much.

[MaxxxRacer]

Ok antipop, I'lll pay ur pops the diff (40 euro) and ill move in with you. 100mbs up and down is just scary... talk about insane upload.. u could host a fleet of webservers.

[antipop]

You're welcome any time Maxxx :)
I'm so surprised that France beats USA in speed and price (for broadband only ;) ). I can get 20Mb download (i don't know for up but it should be around 4) for less than $30! And this is ADSL so pretty much everybody is covered. So far i'm at 8 because the DSLAM hasn't been updated yet (it should be before the end of the year). Plus i get cable TV and free phone within france (VoIP).
I was surprised to see that in the US there is still ads for 56k connections. I guess people were telling that france was retarded on internet connection and they did everything to close the gap

[perry_78]

The next question is how much do you actually use the connection speed.

I was in Moscow visiting an old friend, and after years on dial-up he received a "unlimited 256k broadband". In other words, 40% of theoretical maximum traffic limit, 8 sources limit and rather buggy. He can use max ~30gb a month.

Now coming back, I run my delightfull truly unlimited 4mbit line. Over the period of one and a half day I have 5gb in and 800mb out.

Using Tmeter is fun ;)

cable sucks cows a$$.

Reason #1: They are known for ultimate low upload bandwidth. I couldn't believe how slow it was to upload files with cable... yup, I had 4.4mb max down.. but what good is it if it can't upload.....

Reason #2: Too damn expensive. Used to pay $62 just to have cable internet from Comcast... not to mention, horrible customer service I had. Insight was horrible too, incredbly slow speed..


DSL is better. Even with their standard basic package, DSL whoops cable's a$$ in uploading.


let me mention that again... Cables suck http://www.panda.org/graphics/education/middle_school/kids_kangaroo1.jpg's a$$.... :slapass: :stick: :slap:

DSL... 8Mbps download, 1Mbps upload. This costs me around $37 (298SEK) here in Sweden.

How is that price compared to your prices?

[uOpt]

Comcast cable with 6 Mbps down, something very low up. I think they say 768 but it is probably less in practice.

There is no chance in hell to get anything symmetric to move my webservers into my home here north of Boston :(. It seems they are too afraid of professional dotcomers doing business at home and supress any kind of high upload in residential areas.

And no, DSL with more than 768 Kbps up isn't available either.
