How fast is YOUR cable connection?

[X-EvansBasher-X]

I'm busy on an U/l-D/l or two myself, but get #s near the top of the limit for my provider (about 3.2Mbps d/l & 380Kbps upload). Speeds differ when sending files across the world, because more hops are involved when routing through gates. If everyone were on a single provider with one backbone, that wouldn't be the case. (Actually that's a really scary thought...too Matrix for me).
Thanks for the link Evans. Heard about Tango but never bothered to try it before. I will check it out tonight.

Well, I'm dense, so when my ISP told me to use that I said :"Fuck off, twit."

Now, if you install it, check those speed tests and tell me if you see the same thing as I. It's pretty weird, but I'm not a DL/UL freak enough to be able to guestimate my true speed as mentionned by Skinner.

Your download speed : 614 kbps or 76.8 KB/sec.
Your upload speed : 532 kbps or 66.6 KB/sec.

Not all correct, it is fast at most times, but close enough.

Works for me. I really don't care, to be perfectly honest. Gotta love useless information.

My torrents say f*u!
6.1Mbps for 900kbps
In reality it's much like 6.1mbps for 820kbps though.

[ramajuko]

3257kbps down

351kbps up

[workingjim]

Mine is about 300 Kbps down and 200 Kbps up

I Thought i had a fast connection until i everbody elses

Tried to do all of them, but those are the only ones that worked for me.

EDIT://Shouldnt this belong in Comp Tech?

My speeds really dropped once I left the central US servers for the East or West Coast. Dormitory, late night, so not as much traffic running through the system here right now.

Chicago, IL:
Download Speed: 8768 kbps (1096 KB/sec transfer rate)

EDIT: Probably, but we'll see if anyone decides to move it.

The test seemed to choke on Opera, and I can't be bothered firing up IE, so here's some transfer rates instead...

Down: 400KB/s
Up: 50KB/s

Give or take a little. It's not incredible, but it does me fine. Though it's somewhat inbalanced in the favour of downloading rather than uploading; I'd like a little more upstream and a little less down, I never download at anywhere near 400k/s anyway. Not that I can really complain: until recently I could only upload at about 18k/s, if I was lucky. I guess our ISP figures that most people are all about the leeching.

[KIRK]

i have DSL and my connection is 384 kbps download and 64 kbps upload

[AverageShadows]

I've always tested my connection here. I consistently get 10Mb/s (1.2MB/s) down and 768kb/s up.

Works for me since it's supposed to be capped at 7Mb/s down. Thank (insert deity) for old people who don't know what an "inturnet" is, all the more bandwidth for me. I'd hug those old people, but they smell funny

[polobunny]

Ha, the speed test is cool.
I get 2448kbps down and 654kbps up from NY server and 2342kbps down and 654kbps up from Seattle server.

[Lead Head]

5mbps down 768kbps up for $30 a month, but if i just phone up the ISP they will upgrade it to 15MBPs down, 5mbps for free
