**Vapor** · 12-03-2005, 02:38 AM

Unk. connection in dorm, best I've ever gotten is 64mbit/2mbit (artificially capped upload, I know that for a fact, 64mbit was from nVidia's second mirror, I think it's in the dorm one block down from mine

). Chicago, IL server was used.

Here's a bandwidth tester right down the road from me

Cable at home, 5mbit down and 3/8th mbit up, IIRC.

Forgot us poor b@stards out in the sticks with direcway internet. slow up and slow down and FAPed for using more than 140 mb in an 8 hour peroid

**krille** · 03-03-2006, 01:40 PM

100 Mbit ! ! !, just got my fiberline upgraded to 100/10 Mbit (DL/UL) as of 1st March. I'm very happy!

**~~Marvin_The_Martian~~** · 03-03-2006, 01:48 PM

I got adsl2, 18mbit down 1mbit up almost the fastest available here in the netherlands... to bad I have to use downloadmanagers to get to ( and over! ) that speed since most serves cap my downloads

Most speedtest sites also give me around 500Kbs+ idk any which will show my actual speeds?

They are probably showing such a low score because the test site (server host) is far away, and so the connection isn't very fast. So they pick up your speed as about 500kbs which sounds about right if your using a U.S. server test site.

I have Concast (comcast) Cable 42.95 Per month 8Megs down and I think it's 1Meg up. Advertised speed of course, so it is probably acts like 6Megs down and 512k up.

We got www.speedtest.nl but that also gives me around 600KBs which is to slow.

619.3 KByte/sec (=4954 kbps) way to slow for 18mbit ( and yes advertised but when using multi source p2p programs I also get to that and above, and using downloadmanagers on websites also goes up to and over the rated speeds. Think it might have something to do with isp limiting max transferrate from one source?

Well, I think it is the server host limiting your connection to d/l's and web page loading. I'm not shure why Speedtest is saying that you have such a slow connection compared to what you should get. The ISP is odviously giving you the full advantage of your connection because you are using P2P programs without any problems on the speed. Which is why I think it is the server host because on P2P the upload speed from other peers to you download is going at and above the advertised speed from the ISP.

As for limiting from one source, hard to say.. the ISP probably caps your connection overseas to american servers or something like that..

quite confusing problem you got there.

ahh well glad I don't download big files from us servers lol, most files I can get from eu servers, the fastest one being multikabel nl server ( gamershell mirror ) which is

lets see a test ????

your fiber doesn't = your speed thats just what the line can transfer not what your speed is.

**Bogi** · 03-25-2006, 07:09 PM

**RaZz!** · 03-27-2006, 12:25 PM

adsl - 6 mbit down/576 kb up with fastpath (low latency due to deactivated interleaving)

**AJF** · 03-27-2006, 12:29 PM

I'm on my school's network, so it can vary widely depending on overall traffic and how many tards are using the file sharing programs that aren't blocked yet. At least they upgraded it recently. Anyway, just did a speed test:

12501 kbps download
1802 kbps upload
