RPM's area of Texas is still using the ancient analog technique of using the 1-bit per 5 seconds smoke signals, invented by the local Comanche indians.

Title: Re: How fast is your connection?
Post by: Nilsen on March 09, 2008, 05:05:29 AM: We had a much faster connection a year back, but decided we never used it all. Got a cheaper connection at home and used some of what we saved for a cellphone dataplan or whatever you call it over there. Now we can surf as much as we want using 3g/HSDPA on the cellphone or via a usb modem hooked to laptop for a fixed price. Much more conveniant for us and overall abit cheaper.

Post by: Thruster on March 09, 2008, 08:34:56 AM: It's funny this thread came up just as I started having major problems with my connection. Tech came out and dialed my signal down a couple of db so now it's "better". Pingplotter sez otherwise.

Can't seem to get the results to post.

2536 down
719 up

Nowhere near what it "should" be.

Post by: Reschke on March 09, 2008, 03:22:20 PM: For me I haven't gone and upgraded my service with Charter to their "10 Meg" service. I just don't see the need since I am not playing many online games if any. Now if I was to ever resub to AH then I probably would do it just to have a faster upload and download but for what we do I don't need anything faster.

Most likely a speed boost. Run this test constant for an hour, I'll bet it comes back to normal.

I've been getting these speeds every time I test it, when I use the server close to me it's almost always between 20000-30000kb/s d/l speeds.

The upload is wrong though... It spiked at 515 at around the 50% mark and then was obviously throttled down and remained steady at around 256 for the rest of the test.

The DL speed is pretty much the advertised speed for this area, so I think I'm getting what I paid for. UL speeds are disappointing but the TOS pretty much excludes running servers on residential contracts and I'm not in fact running any servers except on rare occasions when I have stuff to send to family and friends, so it's pretty much what I expect.

That said, if I could switch to another isp that offered the same DL but more UL bandwidth, even for $5-$10 more per month, I'd do it immediately. There are a number of things I've considered doing if I had more bandwidth, including hosting a set of forums and websites for family members. I'm geek enough to do it, have some spare hardware, and I can get a suitable domain either free or very cheap, but the UL bandwidth I have available isn't enough to make it worthwhile.
