    Thought it would be interesting to get some "real life" comparisons of different ISP's used in the local area and the speeds everyone is getting. To kick things off, here's my connection info and speed test:

    ==================================
    ISP: Sprint/Earthlink DSL

    2005-05-04 14:36:35 EST: 1159 / 196
    Your download speed : 1187820 bps, or 1159 kbps.
    A 144.9 KB/sec transfer rate.
    Your upload speed : 201488 bps, or 196 kbps.

    ==================================

    To test your connection, use the link below:

    http://www.dslreports.com/stest

    Please note, that you have to have Java activated on your browser for the test to work. For comparison sake, scroll down the test page when you get there and select the SpeakEasy link for testing using the server at Seattle, CA, USA. Using the same testing server will give us more of an "apples to apples" comparison.

    Once the test runs, it will display a graph with the results, showing the current speed of your connection. It is also summarized in a box at the top of the page, which you can cut and paste here so you can list your results.

    Ladies and Gentlemen....start your Internet engines! Who has the fastest connection on 4042.com?!?!

    (Please note that your speed test can vary widely depending on the time of day and the current condition of the Internet, your PC or the network you are connected to.)

    tawaii and satan...its looks like youre using older modems which have trouble with the new 5mb speeds. if you dont have the 5100, take it to the local office in garner and trade it in. its free.

    Actually, mine is the 5100 but even the HD cable is less than optimal, I think there is a problem locally, but they never can find it ... :oops:

    The following were my results:

    2005-05-05 22:57:59 EST: 4203 / 349
    Your download speed : 4304254 bps, or 4203 kbps.
    A 525.4 KB/sec transfer rate.
    Your upload speed : 357612 bps, or 349 kbps.

    I'm not that computer savvy, so couldn't copy the graph correctly. That was fun! Who's next?

    {Forgot to add, I have TW cable, run a D-Link and my computer is the main one, or hub, or whatever it's called :) }

    OK so now that I have compared with everyone else mine looks like it pretty much S^(%$.................. so what can I do to speed it up?

    You can try the "Tweak Tester" at the link below. It will suggest things that might possibly improve your connection speeds.
