Speedtest!

:signs066:

At least it's not dial up.

 

[StealthSpeed3]

what are your computer specs slow3?

Yeah, single DSL pipeline, 80 unit apt building. Hey, I'm not paying for it.

Oh, and it was over a wireless router.

Ran it again tonight, got this (under Safari):



Then 10 seconds later, ran this with Firefox:

How the hell are some of you comcast people getting 30mb/s??? Does that powerboost shit only work on residential accounts or something? My upload hovers at about 2mb/s for the first 3/4 of the test, then falls back to 1.

PowerBoost supposedly is for the first 10 seconds or 20MB (or something along those lines) of a download, and the first like 5 seconds of an upload. At the beginning of the upload test I hover around 4Mbps, but after a couple seconds it drops back to about 2Mbps.

 

[dmention7]

don't you mean 20Mb/s? Or 2MB/s?

Either way I'm seeing some shitty speeds for "business class" service. Methinks I'd be better off dumping that crap and going back to the residential account of the same price.

 

[ZoomZoom Diva]

More than fast enough... I would cut speed to get cheaper if I could...

 

[YSOSLO]

James you can get 1.5Mb DSL from Qwest for around $25 a month. How much are you paying now?

 

[ZoomZoom Diva]

We don't have Qwest for phone service here, and I would never do business with them given any choice in the matter (I've had BAD experiences with them). That said, I pay $48 a month for internet. When I get the new TV, I'll reshop for product.

Yeah, thats insanely expensive for the speeds you're hitting. I pay less than that for Comcast broadband.

I bet that stuff is highly cached by a comcast proxy server. I see sustained download speeds of about 8Mbit and upload speeds of 1Mbit here.

[dmention7]

Haha, wow, I was pissed last night!

 

[mndsm]

My work. Apparently we have good intarwebs here.

 

[spek1098]

Wacked part is this is on the east coast, where our corporate hq is. Not to shabby.

Here's the one from the local server

 

[ZoomZoom Diva]

Work, yet I really don't notice the difference...

Yeah, I know it's pricey, but it's paying full price without any bundling or deals.

 

[spek1098]

Home:


I'm kind of glad you posted this, that's a patheticly low score, gonna see what I can get from DSL...

 

[dmention7]

That's exactly what I'm getting Jurgen. I could've sworn I was getting 8000-10000 kb/s several months ago on the same service level.

 

[spek1098]

So are they getting it only because of "speed boost?" How do you get that?
