How Fast is Your ISP?

[SaGR]

Comcast Cable. I pay for the extra upstream speed (internet radio station needs it).

It's normally around 10mbps, I'm not sure how accurate the speedtest.net test is. Will test form work tomorrow where I know what the bandwidth is.

Ok I checked the non-wireless machine upstairs ( similar to what I use for work).


Upload is about the same, but down load is way faster.
No wonder it feels like I'm getting dumped on

Paul:

Both you and Danny seem to be in the speed zone of the USA.
What to heck... your down speed is warp speed and your uP speed is sure
better than many who would only wish they could get that speed for their down.

[pgwilli]

Yup. Wireless is way slower on the download.

From home...

Dang it man... I'm envious of you folks with almost 20,000 kb/s! Sheesh... That's fast!

With a Latency of 442 ms you sure are not screaming uP to your ISP.

Gosh for most ... the speed you put uP with would be enough to put the knife to the wrists ~

The Blue Ridge Connection:

Sure beats Carrollton:



I have TDS DSL at it's slowest. But we're on fiber cable and I'm less than 1/2 mile from the booster or whatever you call the thing..

Paul must be closer to Seattle (IPS location) as I could only get this at 4:40 AM, Danny

Pretty fast if one goes far past the closest provider.
Stay close to home and it takes forever!

230K...don't laugh...I'm thrilled!
The US is behind when it comes to rural areas...at least if the rural area is serviced by AT&T. ATT&T isn't upgrading their network services at all...while in our area local telcom cooperatives are putting all their profits back into infrastructure. There is a small community near me that is putting fiber to the door for every subscriber! Wish I lived there!
Even though my home is only 3 miles from the city I can't get either DSL or Cable. Recently I changed my cellphone from Sprint to Alltel with a Razr phone. I signed up for Alltel's data service and am now plugging my laptop into the cellphone and getting 230K! That's not blazing like some of you speed demons but it's worlds better than my old 42K dial-up (which actual was very good as dial-ups go). Plus it's totally portable!
I'm camping on Lake Pepin (Mississippi River) this weekend...I'll do the test from the comfort of my TD at the campground and even send a pic of the rolling electronic cottage.

My work is pretty fast.

[Larry Messaros]

Well, not exactly smokin', but definitely better than my dial up that I had (14,400 on a good day!)

I'm relatively happy with my satellite connection, although I've sent a note off to support at Xplornet to find out what they can do for the speed as I am supposed to be getting 1 mb down and 256 k up. Don't know if it's a time of day thing or if there is a problem somewhere else.

I guess it's the price I gotta pay for watching the deer play in the lake and dodging moose on the road instead of cars!:thumbsup:

hmmmm

My speed allows me to multi task...
When downloading... I can make coffee, work in the shop, take a shower, watch redwood trees grow... those kinds of things.
