Speed of Your Internet Connection - Who's Got the Fastest??!

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.)

Your upload speed is much faster than down.. have you tweaked?

dam tang, thats not right....do the tweak test...everyone has to. i doubled my speed by tweaking...will post results tonight..

 

i don't have a clue what any of this stuff means. but don't think i should do any tweeking here.

Please list your ISP along with your speeds so we can see where the hottest connections are coming from! 8)

its actually right at 5mb. i consistently dl large files @ 600 kbps

RR

 

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.

 

mine's several years old (3-4ish).

 

2005-05-04 20:50:30 EST: 3008 / 348

A 376 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 357261 bps, or 348 kbps.

twc rr / earthlink

 

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 ...

 

2005-05-05 07:34:31 EST: 1280 / 347
Your download speed : 1310720 bps, or 1280 kbps.
A 160 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 355439 bps, or 347 kbps.



Earthlink Cable (basically Earthlink through TWC)

 

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 }

I have Dockpoint DSL

So is this good or BAD?

 

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?

 

thats about all youll get from dockpoint. RR is cheaper and faster....

 

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

OK I did that 'tweak' thing?? But I don't understand what it is telling me?
