Survey - Online Speed Test

[RTicUL8]

I am curious about how fast different types of internet connections really are.
If you would like to participate, please go to this web site and run the test on your line speed. Also include in your reply who your ISP is and what type of internet connection you have (ex: cable, DSL, T1, dial-up, etc.)
Thanks.

--I should note that I'm at work. I'll try it again when I get home on my cable hookup

I just tried it a few more times to get an average -- here are my other times
#1: 438
#2: 504
#3: 480
#4: 501
#5: 488

the results will be varied by whatever technology you have.

On cable i have gotten scores higher than 1500 and lower than 10 from the same location. It all depends on how many people are using the cable connection at the time.

DSL should be fairly stable as it is your line by definition. (Digital Subscriper Line).

T1's are mainly limited by the distance from them to the CO they hook in through (as with DSL).

I hear you. What is on cable he or she have gotten scores higher than 1500 and lower than 10 from the same location like on cable he or she have gotten scores higher than 1500 and lower than 10 from the same location. And then what happened. A lot of robots are like that. Can you speak any foreign languages? I think there might be a few exception.

My work T1 connection is coming up with 207Kbps and the second time I cam up with 216Kbps

Your work T1 connection is coming up with 207Kbps and the second time he or she cam up with 216Kbps? :xmas:

I like to meet new people. It goes without saying.

stop that

Home: 146 kbps, Bellsouth DSL

School: 509 kbps, multiple T3. This is probably a little slow, since I routinely get 1200 kbps or faster downloads. Might be limited by their connection.

I used to have cable, but the upload speeds were capped to something horrible. Download speeds were faster, but erratic. My DSL has better upload speeds. The maximum download speed is slower than cable, but has always been consistent.

I am alternating between 300 and 350 and that's while I'm downloading some big things

I got 315-358 I ran it four times. I love the cable modem, I would never go back to dial up. It would be like Getting rid of my car and going across country by horse.

 

[Backdraft]

How does an average of 604 after five attempts sound?


Thats with Comcast digital cable.

I couldn't run the Shockwave test for various reasons, but on the "old test" I got this:

They are working on our lines right now, otherwise I do believe it would be faster.

I am on a neighborhood network with a Fiber backbone, my host is Vib.tv.

A few other tests that seem to be a bit more detailed can be found here: http://toast.net/performance/ You can select the different types of info to be downloaded.
