Connection speed ? (home)

[Nixy]

I don't know my external speeds here at Uni

I do know I have 1115KBPS down most of the time when downloading. I don't know what it is rated as though.

 

[AlladinSane]

Advertised: 56k
Effective: 31.2 which makes me the slowest connector here

cable
anywhere from 1.2Mbps to 1.8 Mbps depending on time, traffic, etc

paying almost 2x as much as i did for dialup, but well worth it.

 

[Altron]

Cable
Advertised - 512k up, 1mb down
Reality - 150k up 300k down
Occasionally when DLing something I will not break 15k
I hate cable
DSL = constant speed

 

[Dave]

didnt someone post a link to check transfer rates?

edit: found it.http://www.bandwidthplace.com/

I took that test
Your raw speed was 1894556.57 bits per second
Communications 1.9m
Storage 231.3k
1MB File Download 4.4s
Rating: Fantastic

Cool!
Of course it is 11:30, I am probably only person in my town online now
Worst is 4:00-6:00 PM

Mine is slow ass right now

It's less than 200kbps

That's cause like every single person is Res is prolly drunk and surfing right now

Comcast is non-committal. Up to 50x faster than dialup*

*28.8 modem[/siz]

So, about 1.5 is the max.

 

[HeXp£Øi±]

46.6k. Yes that's correct...

37 days til 10mbps up and down.

!! :cry: no fair! I have the second fastest connection speed avaliable for home use over here, and I'm still one of the lower rungs of the connection speed heirachy Mutter Mutter Grumble Growl...

looks like 1.2 according to the test, but I'm also downloading quite a bit of stuff at the moment, so its probalby a little more. Maybe 1.5 if I wasn't using so much bandwidth during the test. I'll try it again without downloads in progress later. Thanks for the link. I was kind of curious what kind of bandwidth I had. I have to try it from work now. I'm sure its gonna make my connection at home seem like dial up by comparison though

No, I hit 1.9 ^
So its more like 50 times faster than 36k*
*At 1:00AM when there is one user on entire network[/siz]
During normal hours, Its like 600k MAX

 

[Nixy]

That's more like it!

1.1MBPS

 

[ipmoof]

Uni: 10Mbps symmetrical rx/tx over LAN

MuFu.

Ahh... those were the days. Now on slow-ass 600k.

 

[Aunty Em]

Cable
128kpbs going up to 512 after christmas.

All I know is it's faster'n my old dial up. Don't ask me about mbps 'cos I'm lost.

 

[karlwb]

I need two votes also,

Home is 56Kbps ( around 42.5Kbps in reality )

Work is 2Mbps over LAN
