So I just ran speedtest at school.....

[DaIceMan]

The freak occurance of such a high speed DL spike was enough to convince me to come out forum-lurker mode and register to post.

Whatever it takes. Welcome to the Forums!!

Pretty good for me. 3M/512 advertised. I was rocking in the .8M/100 area the other night.

Finally checked work and as i expected it flies!

This is what I'm stuck @ for the 'mo. It's fixed wireless.
I need to get DSL into the new place

Maybe you just ran it when there was a lot of internet traffic on your network?

Dan

I guess you were right. When I run it off lunch time, I get great speeds. Little surpised though that my upload speed in three times my download.

this is at home with a bunch of other stuff open

From work, AND the network is congested ;) (I may try this later on again)

Tested again, this time a little later on in the day (Still not near the max )

So then ken, what is the max of your works pipe, it being an isp (i am right in thinking that?) and everything

Our building goes over a 1GB pipe with a few T2 lines for redunancy.

This is just an office building!

Your 'redundancy' is better than our main connection

Just how many people are there in your office building?

I figured I'd toss this in there. My old CS:S server (Gameagon) was hosted on this connection all to itself:



This was taken just over 2 years ago. One of my tests completed in like 2 seconds, whereas this one was stuck where it is... which is pretty close if I'm not mistaken. It was a DS3 line.

just upgraded from a $19.99 5MB connection to a $29.99 10MB connection:

Just switched from DSL to Cable...now I know why the Slowsky's like it.

This is the best I've gotten. Spring break just started and the campus is probably seeing the lowest use it ever gets lol.

But yeah, normally its between 20k-30k down and 8k-10k up. Either way, it's awesome A lot better than the speeds i get at home.

I haven't seen my backwoods provider listed yet. We live 30 miles east of downtown Houston and we only have the option for this company.

Houston, TX Test


Corpus Christi, TX Test


Notice the difference in the ping test. The service is $19.95 a month and I don't know what they state their speeds to be. When we first moved here over 4 years ago the download speed on speedtest.net was 512 kb/s with 128 kb/s upload speeds.
