Post your Speed test results here.

[Ironside]

Go to the Speedtest site (http://www.speedtest.net/) and take the test to determine your internet speed. Post results below so we can compare, Oh yeah, dont forget to have a nice day and spread the love. :)

Yeah, when I'm downloading from or uploading to a "recommended server" or pretty much a server that isn't far away, in daily internet usage this will mostly not be the case so let's take these results with a grain of salt :)

[Yatta]

I don't quite understand kbps off the bat but I get 150 KB downloads and 40 KB uploads


kb = kilobit
KB = kilobyte

1 KB = 8 kb

If you divide those numbers by 8 you'll get similar numbers (150KB and 40 KB).

I'm on a 24-meg connection, but I'm also on a wireless network, which reduces the speed a bit. Before you ask, yes, we're quite close to the exchange :D

^^ Zuul, why is your upload so very, very much bigger than your download? Or do you have a proper DSL connection (i.e. same bandwidth either way) and it's just a bad day for downloads?

Note that no-one in Britain offers symmetrical connections, and indeed the company offering the biggest download speeds, Virgin Media cable, still offers only a couple of meg upload speeds. I guess they think anyone who wants a big upload bandwidth is a P2P pirate :rolleyes:

[Superczar]

LOL, WTF Zulie, your upload > download?!

Mine at work:

[Nimoy]

Zuljie probably has a larger upload because he's at a college, and people upload stuff to emails etc. pretty often.

[ZuljinRaynor]

LOL, WTF Zulie, your upload > download?!

They cap our download. That's why. It's a lot more in reality.

[TBZ]

This test is all over the place, lower download speed, but higher upload speed this time.

I lied. But it seems that my upload is much lower off campus than on campus. That is odd considering that they do actually limit upload bandwidth (or at least they did when I was living on campus)

Mine would be very off right now as I'm downloading FEAR 2 in Steam, but my router tells me 1184 down / 448 up. Just did some Speed tests the other day, ping is ~50ms in IE8, >270 in Opera. Wonder why such a difference?

[Superczar]

My at home speeds are pretty much the same as at work, which is rather obvious since its Verizon DSL at both locations:

Dare I ask what your sync speed is? Actually, judging from your upload, you could be on a fixed 2Mb connection... and since it's Virgin, they're probably charging you an arm and a leg for it, because they "forgot" to move you to a more modern payment plan :tinyted:

Presumably your sync speed is 2048kbps, i.e. the sync speed reported by your router (which would be an upper limit for your download speeds)...

flatrate 16Mbps down ~45 USD
but thats an old number. new contract with them is 31$ @20Mbps or 69$ @32Mbps

since im living in one apartment with 2 other guys it boils down to 15$ with the hassle of realy wanting to kill one of them because he aswell fails to grasp the concept of the lowupload AND is resistant to any argument if he doesnt like it, especialy if i'm making it.

so getting that sweet ping sometimes needs some begging on my part... -.-.-.-

had a great time living in the student quarters. fibreoptic networkcard, and all done by the residents ^^ (the network, not the hardware, but it WAS owned completly by a nonprofit organisation composed by residents.)
actualy it was a non university student home, and we had to put the cable into the ground ourselfs ^^ roughly 1 to 1.5 miles of the stuff ^^

[MrBlackCat]

Oh yeah! :)
I have a 6Meg DSL connection, but I am a long way (15,000ft+) from the switch.

Here is what is excellent about my connection...
SpeedTest.net...
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1926981148.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

But this is my test from AT&T (provider). The results are always the same... Much higher.
http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz121/TheMrBlackCat/Game%20Collectors%20Forum/05-01-2012ATT-SpeedTest.jpg

So this is the real problem... when I have an "actual" problem with my connection, AT&T will not do anything until it TESTS below 3.5Mb/s. But they will only reference their own test. Here is the problem I have had happen three times now. By the time the AT&T test shows below 3.5, the connection is not even usable, not exaggeration. The degradation is not proportional. When the AT&T test shows 3.0 or below, SpeedTest.net, no matter the server, will show a time of about 0.5Mb/s.

So here is what happened earlier this year... the third time this has happened in the last 4 years. I recorded the data for a month with my connection steadily dropping in condition. (I am a Network Engineer btw, CNE, MCSE.)
So when it finally got low enough for AT&T to listen (below 3.5 on their own test) I called... after jumping through all their hoops of testing, they said it was "ok" and there was nothing else they could do. I had to agree to pay to have my line tested. The first test guy worked on it for some time and said there was a serious problem that was over his head. The second guy was AWESOME and spent hours going back over the lines to get every copper connection back the the switch as perfect as possible, just to have a better position to argue with his own network tech support.

Meanwhile here was what I did... I used my own switch (like an old programable switch enterprise HP Procurve 4000) some routers and ran a routine to stall the router at my own intervals... I tried several different timings, but in the end, what I discovered was HOW the AT&T test works... if the data stops, so does the timer, up to like 2000ms!
What does this mean? Metaphor... lets say you were going to time a runner on a track... you click your stopwatch... as long as they are moving, you keep timing, but if they come to a complete stop, you pause the stopwatch. Holy crap... what a test.

You know WHY their test works so well? Well now I did, and it was WAY bad because the end result last time was that THEIR switch had 30%+ Packet loss... the AT&T test would basically "stop counting" when the packets didn't arrive. So everyone in the neighborhood (so to speak) was having the same problem but didn't have the knowledge to argue it... this had been happening for a MONTH!

I posted everything above and a lot more, without insult, just the facts on the AT&T support website... I didn't explain exactly how I tested the AT&T speed-test, but I explained how it could be done.

So how did AT&T solve the "real" problem in the end? I am perma-banned from AT&T Support Site now.

**edit**
Here is my connection now... the cycle of failure is starting again... and there is nothing I can do about it.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1929020106.png (http://www.speedtest.net)
<sigh>
Of Course, AT&T Speedtest shows a shiny happy 4.11Mbps. When you watch the test, you can even see it stall, but the average doesn't go down unless it stalls completely for TWO SECONDS! (at a time)
