What's Your Internet Connection?

[Der_KHAN]

speedtest.net is not very precise, the download files are just too small.

i've got a 5mbit cable broadband. Sux hard as for me, LAN connection is an only really good way to connect to the Web. 20-22$ in dollars per month. It suxx too, since if i'd change the provider, i could have 10 mbit LAN for the same price and 100mbit Latvian\4mbit to everywhere else lan connection for about a 30$. And again it suxx - in Riga(capital of Latvia, 35 km from me) there are providers who offer 100mbit world/10 mb world lan connections for the money im currently paying. And also for 70$ or so you can gain access to provider's own network resources capped "only" @ 1 gbit. So, as you can see, multiple providers fighting for their place in not so large towns and optical network infrastructure rules
Since my damn narrow broadband i wouldn't show any speedtest' results of mine. Instead, look @ what my acquaintance from Riga is getting for only a few bucks more that amount of money i'm(actually - my family is) paying. Is it fair? =\


P.S. And about the speedtest.net... open it's main page, select the "Top 5 Countries", check who is @ 3rd place.

By me it's other way round.

*cries*

eidt: It'll actually go to 2.5mb/s when nobody else is using the internet in the house...

[Morais]

I feel shame compared to you guys...Internet speeds here are very expensive, this is mine, "Shoud" be 1000Kbps DL

[Ridstar]

This is my internet speed at home in Vegas, CoxCable...

[Fujimitsu]

Work, cable at home is miles better.

But yeah these tests don't prove much, a few days of monitoring would be a better indicator... would draw out bandwidth spikes & shaping.

As Jim Cary would say in THE MASK "SMOKIN!!!!!!!"

sadly, we moved into a house over the weekend (good for the family, bad for my internet) and left my mistress the 100/100 fiber line, that was connected to our building and now have ADSL once again.

Here's my best now

[Duh]

upgraded from 128 k (cable) to 1meg adsl .. quite good..

Belgium has bad isp's...

Germany also.



some other test's:

[bachus_anonym]

Comcast's latest and fastest offering in Bay Area - Blast $52.95 --> 16Mbit down / 2Mbit up

|

Transferring 100MB file over FTP to/from server in Southern California:

13902 Kbit/s (1737 KB/s) down
2243 Kbit/s (280 KB/s) up

Comcast packages include PowerBoost feature where downloads up to 50MB and uploads up to 30MB transfer at about 50&#37; higher speeds. In those cases I get up to 25600 Kbit/s down and 3200 Kbit/s up. Therefore above results from SpeedTest.net do not show a complete picture, but only peak transfers with PowerBoost kicking in...

Is this good?

geuss i can live with the down but the up sucks

[TheMysticWizard]

Mine wasn't listed

Sprint Broanband - supported by Earthlink - the world's #1 real internet provider!

I dumped Sprint Broadband for Comcast Cable as soon as it was available... Never been happier.

Sprint sucked for me, the <128k upload was the deal breaker for me.

Then again this was a few years ago.

[Bruce1065]
