I cheated... I ran the test at work and got:

2826 down
2424 up

I'll try and remember to run at my home line and post those results too. (should be just 256 down and 128 up).

These are kiloBITS right? Then either this test = using crack or my ISP = dishonest. Advertised speed is 3000 kilobits down, 384 kilobits up. I got 612/305. The 305 I can understand, but hte 612 is about a fifth of what I should be getting....I get about 312kBytes/sec on most downloads and I get MUCH better ratings on the http://www.broadbandreports.com speed tests....

Work is really screwed right now.

2038 down
6154 up

Weird, very weird.

Might test at home but I probably will just cry after I get the results and run away from posting anything.

Ran it again at work:
887 down
8748 up

Sovereign, make sure that you ISP did not say 'up to' - if they said that then they can pretty much get by with whatever they advertise.

They do say "up to" but I've NEVER seen it drop at ALL....

2653k down 316up... Not bad for me considering its a wireless connection that reads as being connected at 11.0 mbps versus the "speedbooster" I should be getting

1496 down
201 up

And here's what I get at home where it's a monoply area for only DSL. This is what I get for $48 a month.
1264 down
846 up

Hmmm, will need to check later tonight to see if that changes.

It didn't for me... I'm bummed about my 252 up... I need to see what I am paying for because that seems low for their "extreme" package.

I got crummy results using that webpage. Any idea where that server is located?
I tested mine at http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
on the NY server which is the closest one ot me

which seems about right, i have a 15mb/2mb connection

Posted: **Wed May 17, 2006 9:33 pm**

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 1:00 am**

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 4:48 am**
