Title: What's your Internet Speed?
Post by: RedBull1 on May 15, 2012, 11:33:56 AM: I used to have 6 MBPS, then I got a new provider (Verizon) and now the best they can offer is 1 MBPS...If someone is on "netflix" then it goes down to below 0.50 MBPS... :bhead
Talked to some squaddies and they said they had like 8, 10, 11, 15, ETC. :( :mad:

Post by: Skuzzy on May 15, 2012, 11:40:58 AM: Best I can manage is about 384Kb/s (that is about 35KB/s).
Title: Re: What's your Internet Speed?
Post by: Rich52 on May 15, 2012, 12:59:11 PM: 9.1 to 16.22 in 4 different tests. If that isnt good it ought to be with what Im paying Comcast. Tho Im sure thats a number based on usage populations right? Its 1 pm on a Tues. and who but me would be on the I-net in the neighborhood.

Not Fios right? I have Fios and my highest dl speed was around 4MB/sec. Depending on what server I'm downloading from, it can be as low as 100kb/sec or 4MB/sec. Steady internet, very rare when I lose a connection, though when I do (like once every 5 months) I just restart the router and problem is solved. I know Fios can handle more than 4MB/sec though. I can download and play online games at the same time without lag, so if it wasn't for the servers, I could probably get 15+MB/sec.

It's good to live in NYC. :D

Post by: Gman on May 15, 2012, 03:00:21 PM: We've got DSL from Sasktel which is 2.5mbit/s down and 1.0 mbits up. We've just ordered Shaw (cable here) with 250megabits down 15mbitsup. With DSL I can get 500kps download max, but with the Shaw that they demo'd at our home for us, I should get ten to twenty times that. It's 120 dollars a month or so, but well worth the insane speeds for what I want to use it for. Canada has very cheap internet. That's with no download limit as well for the dsl, and 1000 gig per month limit on the Shaw system, which I'll never touch, as I don't download 33 gigs a day, I'll only need a tenth that I'm sure.

I have 1Gbps capacity wired since 2004, but don't really need it at home. The domestic infrastructure supports that speed and most domestic servers are pushing close to 1Gbps now, but it's wasted on servers outside the country. It would be like driving a Lamborghini in Manhattan traffic... :)

Best I can manage is about 384Kb/s (that is about 35KB/s).

That's because you run TCP over tin-can-string between your quadruple redundant stateful packet inspection firewall scheme to keep the CIA's invisible monkeys next door from listening to the magnetic field coming over normal ethernet cables.

I think your real bottleneck is the heliograph link to the mountaintop signal fire though. The guy flapping the blanket is a lazy rat and he's ripping you off while selling your packets to the DHS, through Dick Cheney's black ops corporation.

I wish I could blame my implementation, then I would have a chance to fix it. Using Clear wireless as it is my only viable option at the moment as I refuse to pay $180/month to AT&T for a data capped service with video I have no need for.

Just take a look at some other people's and you'll get an idea. Also, check out your "Faster Than" number, you are faster than 56% of the US. So it's kind of in the middle. Not super speedy but very adequate for most internet activities.

You are still 10 times faster. I really am not complaining. It is what is. If I was not so hard-headed about AT&T raping me with their pricing, I could have faster Internet.

There was a time when I thought it would be neat to have a high speed connection, but I use the Internet so little it makes no sense to fork over big bucks for something I use so infrequently. I probably average an hour, or less, a week on the Internet when I am at home. Most of that time is spent scanning our bulletin board.

I really do not feel like I am missing anything. I'd rather be out cruising with hot rodders than sitting behind a monitor.

Interesting that my upload is faster 1200 miles away? I think my upload is capped basically around 10mbps

You are still 10 times faster. I really am not complaining. It is what is. If I was not so hard-headed about AT&T raping me with their pricing, I could have faster Internet.
Use that language again and Ill slap a rule #6 on you skuzzy! :O

JK don't ban me! :noid

Time Warner Cable in Wichita Falls. They have a faster tier of service for an extra $10 or $15 per month but I turned that off after the free trial ended. Also, I think speedtest.net may be exaggerating the download speed a bit. I think I'm actually getting around 10Mbps but the test shows higher because Time Warner has a speed boost feature that starts off every download at nearly triple the sustained speed, for a few seconds. That lets smallish files download really fast and makes the connection seem faster than it otherwise would. After a few seconds of the burst speed it drops to around 10Mb/s for the remainder of the dl.

Overall I'm happy with the service, but they do have a bit more downtime than I would have liked. Every month or two the network simply goes down for a while.

And it's expensive. Oh well. At least my area isn't saturated so I almost never see the big slowdowns that people get in over-subscribed cable internet areas. Local DSL is 1/10th the speed at the same price and the new fiber to the door services aren't here yet so there aren't really any decent alternatives.
