Let's See If I Connect to Cape Town in South Africa and have my connection dwindle over the ocean :evil::

im happy with it

My internet is going to be cut back to 5Mbps as the 15Mbps was a trial thanks to Verizon's new FiberOptic Service "FiOs". It's a lot quicker than what I used to have; 2.5-3.0Mbps :giddy:

I`m on 4meg cable and it does me nicely.

Edit: Just to show my results using the same speedtest as everyone else.

yea im on bell south broadband 6.0 or something like that, the highest ive ever gotten on that site is 4.8 Mb/s this is what i currently get when i checked Ft. Lauderdale

Ooh, I think Bell South would be related to the old Bell Telephone, which split and formed your service, mine, and a few others....I think....(I've had 2 members of my family work at them).

I`m on 4meg cable and it does me nicely.

Where'd you get that chart analysis Howard?

I got it from HERE (http://www.irishisptest.com/runmyspeed.php) mate.

Regards Howard :)

Only 9.76Mbps/1.40Mbps wherever that server is located...Ireland maybe ;) . Hmmm, reminds me of Mallow, Ireland...(off-topic)

And Chicago is further away...
At home it is going to be even worse. Sure I'd like to have faster, but I can still get 700meg torrents in a couple hours at home so its not too bad.

To Auckland, New Zealand (I'm not sure I'd wanna live there)

Pretty good for my needs...

Wait, wtf? Empty image? I tried it again and it put a blurry red-outlined box over the bottom part and it's counting on a counter?!?! WTF?

Ahh, third time. Here we go:

My dad is streaming some video right now (using a router) so it's a bit lower, before I believe it counted up to 11k.

Just did it again when he wasn't doing anything:

Nice. I gotta convince my dad to get cable...:D

from one of my offices - when I get home I'll post that one...

Couldnt live there

Thats crazy fast there Papa! I take it your office uses a fibre connection?

http://www.speedtest.net/result/90322357.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I'm actually kind of disappointed in our connection speed here at work, though it could be low due to the fact that it is Friday afternoon and we have 2000+ associates. We do use mulitple fibre connections here and if I remember correctly our standard connection is 40MB (not Mb) and can scale up to 80MB as demand dictates.

Here is my home speed. Not bad considering I pay for 4Mb of service. Upload speed bugs me, though.

Redid it
http://www.speedtest.net/result/90338150.png (http://www.speedtest.net)
The Kansas City one sucks for me. And I can't seem to get the upload to work at all for Hopkinsville, KY.

Pretty much all of you beat me.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/90360874.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I'm paying for 5 megabits too... damn ISP ripping me off.

Here are my results

Weird, Chicago server is kinda faster than El Paso one....(Chicago is REALLY far away from here lol)

MetalX - Here, you beat me:

Do you have cable? Since cable customers share a line on the same street, when people are using it at the same time, the speed goes down :mad: .

http://www.speedtest.net/result/90422416.png (http://www.speedtest.net)


Decent connection but kinda slow for university standards. But we are in West Virginia...

http://www.speedtest.net/result/90503372.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

http://www.speedtest.net/result/90503807.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

at least the upload is consistent.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/90747947.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Mine is usually more like 200 kB/s

Norfolk, NE (closest location =] )
http://www.speedtest.net/result/90786760.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

New York, NY (faster?!)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/90787767.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Amsterdam, Netherlands (where i used to live =] )
http://www.speedtest.net/result/90788297.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

and finally New Zealand
http://www.speedtest.net/result/90788886.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

my cable is rated as 5mpbs =]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/90816129.png

this one's beatiful...the upload speed surprised me though. I was thinking that with the download speed so slow I don't even wanna see it upload...but it wasn't too bad.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/90818301.png

Mine is fast enough for me.

I'm not going to test, don't really see any point since the connections to and from my computers can be anywhere in the world. Downloading something from the US, playing multiplayer games on European servers, watching streaming media from Asia, ...

http://www.speedtest.net/result/90841806.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

http://www.speedtest.net/result/90845194.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

DSL rated at 6 MB.

Do you have cable? Since cable customers share a line on the same street, when people are using it at the same time, the speed goes down :mad: .
No, I have DSL. I called my ISP today to hassle them about the slow speed, and it turns out my phone line only supports 2674kbps MAX. So now I want cable... like NOBODY near me uses it so...

Goddamn, how much are you people paying for your internet?!? Cogeco, the best cable provider in my area, charges 70 CAD per month for their fastest home service (16Mb)... and 50 CAD per month for 10Mb...

I pay 399 DKK a month and my connection is rated at 8Mbit/s down and 512Kbit/s up, but I'm getting upgraded to 20Mbit/s down and 1Mbit/s up in a few days at the same price. (399 DKK = 70 USD)

I NEED CABLE! Someone help me please!

kitty500cat If you live in New Zealand and can afford it broadband is ok. Our monopoly network (telecom) just unbundled the lines so we are experiencing better speeds now. Heres mine: (I live in New Zealand)

http://www.speedtest.net/result/91244304.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

It might depend on my connection speed. It would be worse to live in Novo Hamburgo, Brazil, in my third post.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/91982213.png (http://www.speedtest.net)



Of course if I use speakeasy its a different number all the time, but close and Vonage is WAY off, telling me like 2.5 meg. down

At work

http://www.speedtest.net/result/92087932.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I'll have to try from home and see what results I get.

I just wanted to resurrect this thread because A) I found it interesting to see how fast other people connect to TS, and B) to show off my new cable interwebz ;)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/121001602.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

interwebz ;)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/121001602.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Uh-oh, I broke the Interweb!

I think I have one of the slowest speeds, ever. It says on my computer that it's going 24 Kbps..here's my speedtest:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/121007843.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I am happy with my speed.... :D Considering my cable is rated at 6MB!

Could do better, but cant be bothered paying more to switch ISP or plans.. but hey, its oz..
http://www.speedtest.net/result/121052627.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

What do you pay now for what you got?

Holy **** that upload speed is OWNAGE for dial-up!

going to test it again once those downloads finish.

Well - now that I've moved the best they can offer me is 8mb/512kb - which is what I have now :(

I pay USD $50 a month for 2.4 Kbs
BUT I git to live out here in a beautiful Nat'l Forest.
Pitty for a dual core quad w/2gb memory eh?

Holy **** that upload speed is OWNAGE for dial-up!

Lol yeah I suppose it's decent, but my internet still sucks. Soon I'll have a better internet.

Lol... but that upload speed is like half mine... but my download speed is 230.6842105x faster than yours... dunno how that works ;)

My speed at my new job
http://www.speedtest.net/result/123901291.png

Does this make any sense to anyone? I dont have any crazy programs running, nor do I have anything downloading at the moment.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/124143603.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

and this one doesnt make any sense either.
