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 got cable... oh well, beats the hell outta 56K:) just give me a T3 line to my house and i'll never leave!:D :D :D :D
We have T1 lines at work and they suck. average speed is like 500mb and upload speed is very bad.
I just think our i/t guys suck.

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!
dslreports.com just gave me this......
Test running..........
** Speed 2945(down)/80(up) kbps **
(At least 58 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.
*Ahhh....Quote:

It all makes sence now. 350 people, and we can't download for schit!
So what's T3, a speed, or trafic improvement?
Mines been crap lately! Around 1400up and 350 down! Sometimes lower!:(
both, but it is more for traffic control....Quote:

if it is speed your after than you want cable, wireless, or satellite
Just did a retest and nailed this...
Test running.........

(At least 98 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.
literaly 5Meg download!
here is a screen shot!
I downloaded a broadband tweaker - DRTCP - vers. 0.19 - applied different settings DSLREPORTS reccomended and I broke the 5meg barrier!!!
Test running.........
** Speed 5206(down)/90(up) kbps **
(At least 104 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.

If my system is unpingable, what is a safe RWIN number? Default was 17520. I tried 32767, and scored higher on the speed test. I don't know if that's to high!
unpingable just means your firewall is not sending a signal back to the sourceQuote:

Is there anyway I can become pingable! I think that's the only way I can get a rough estimate for my RWIN!Quote:

I'm happy with it :D
Nothing has ever beaten the 8Mb Kilostream we had at The Press Association here in the UK... phwoar! Only problem was the 6 webservers and 5000 staff all sharing it trying to download quake at the same time or whatever was the in game back then... think it might've been rollcage actually...

Mmm.. I now werk for teh cable provider, sooo.. I gots a little bump.
But the main rig at the office, pulls about 3.5mb/sec
JBELL, your download may rock, but your upload sucks, and im sure your pings would too... But hey, if you're notinto gaming, then what do i know? :confused:
I currently am running....
cable modem > linksys 4 port POS router > 16 port dell switch > computers
In hopefully the next few weeks if my ISP lets me have another cable line...
2 cable modems > nexland 8 port dual-modem router > dual 16 port dell switch

now, who the hell has "t1 or faster"??? :mad: :mad: :mad:
4 of them next month. But as stated before, T1's are made for a lot of users, not a lot of speed. still, we can hit almost 4mbps where we stand right now.Quote:

<-- DSL 768/128 Pacbell ..pretty lucky I have DSL actually.. I'm actually passed the loop length limit (18000ft) But lucky me I ordered b4 they set the "14000ft max loop length" rule =)
@ Work : 2mbit
@ Home: Cable (1.5mbit)
;D
56k & i cant even get ISDN :( :( :( :(
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........
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!
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...
http://home.elp.rr.com/swcf/Bandwidth2.JPG
I am on RR, can't complain to much, these are not real bad speeds:)
56K............the humanity! There is DSL in the next town (less than 5mins away) but there isn't any here. And when it comes avaliable it costs like $55 a month *blackhawk searches for crying smiley*

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. Just as soon as I hit the button to initiate the test, it was done, that quick:D It's back to around 3.8mbps now though:( (or as you put it, 3800/320:))

Cable connection @ 512/256. I actually get 490/222. Im happy.
what are you guys using to get those screenies? :confused:
Edit: never mind.
I use the same as JBELL, Sprint Wireless Broadband. I live out in the far SE corner of Maricopa County AZ, and there is NOTHING else. Dialup is 26400 and unreliable, my CO doesn't offer broadband, and Cox Cable doesn't even know we exist out here. (Had to get Dish for TV.) I could get ISDN from Qwest, $60 circuit and $40 ISP, um, but why?
:cool:
whats T4? well over 250Mbps isnt it?
got a cable modem and love it downloads are always fast and its pretty reliable. only thing is the service guys suck they come out and i end up telling them how to fix it and thats only if they will admit that they have no clue what they are doing:)
10mbit here, only half duplex though :(
but i'm happy anyway :)
a 10mbit internet connection?
Half duplex sucks, but that's a badass speed.Quote:

I wouldn't say badass but sufficient, yes.
i download most of the "big stuff" from the ~3000comps within the internal network and then you always get good speed :D
i got optimum online AKA speed demon.. 10mb down 1mb up for 39.99 usually i get 5 mb cuz i have a 10mb wan port router not 100mbs
