Hey, BoP, that's a really slow up considering how fast the down is.

At Howard County General Hospital the other day, I downloaded a 1.27 GB file (Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Trial for Mac) in a bit under 25 minutes, I guess if I did the math right that's about 7100 kbps. Only half as fast as my earlier-posted results, which were at University of Maryland Medical Center. And even UMMC's speed, which I believe was one of top three or four speeds posted in this thread so far, felt pokey compared to when I was at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I didn't think to measure the speed, but page loads were virtually instantaneous.

I guess mines pretty average

Here's what I'm getting on my laptop courtesy of a Sierra USBConnect 881 on AT&T. Status indicator for the card shows 2 out of 5 bars of signal strength, 3G network:

That sounds about right for a cell phone provider internet service.

My ISP claims 5Mbps down and 512Kbps up

New apartment and new laptop (I'm convinced the USB wireless adapter I was using with my old one was affecting my speed in a significant way)...same provider and package.

Is it DSL? You might also have a better phone line or might be closer to the home office.

 

[Nixy]

DSL?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I hate DSL. This is cable.

 

[Nixy]

Also, that would be kind of silly of me to compare old apartment + old laptop to new apartment + new laptop because that's two variables. I still had my old laptop when I moved here. I've had both running at the same time and the internet is noticeably slower on the old laptop...hence my comment.

 

[Inkara1]

Test at the same time of the day? Cable lines are shared with the whole neighborhood, you know...

 

[Inkara1]

Or, you could also, you know, have both laptops running and test them one right after the other...

also, wtf? The ad on this page is for gay chubby dating.

 

[Nixy]

I've never tested them at the same time, but I've run them both side by side and the old one is slower.

Maybe fury is trying to tell you something.
