Not even going to try my home connection ... it's really just pathetic.


This is my desktop at work 10/100 connection (Windows XP):



This is from a machine with a Gigabit connection running Windows Server 2003:



Notice the upload speed.

We have a 45Mbs connection. I'll have to set up a machine outside the firewall sometime and try it.

Interestingly, I got much better results from using a machine further away than the "recommended" server.

Work. I'll do home later. Work has DSL.

Home is a bit faster. Comcast cable.

When I first got dsl, I got the 768 kbps package. I like that the speed has doubled and they haven't raised the price.

I think I pay $35 a month for this or something. I'm really going to miss it when I move.. no high-speed (other than Sprint wireless or phone as modem, $60 a month! Blech!) where I'll be going.

Not too bad, though the connection speed fluctuates quite a bit, and I get quite different results from different servers.

Finally got around to doing my home connection:




This was my work one, again..



And yet, somehow, inexplicably.. my home connection "feels" faster. It's an interesting thing to note that my ping is 1/3 of my work connection, even if the connection itself only supports half the bandwidth.

I recently changed providers and because I'm on a dry loop and they couldn't test my line, they decided that I'd have to start with the low (1mbps) tier service and upgrade once I was connected. Tomorrow I get my 7mbps connection. For now, I get this:



I can't wait.

EDIT - For anyone who's keeping track, that's running Firefox in Ubuntu, on ADSL over an ethernet cable.

EDIT #2 - Broadband ftw! Given that my connection is theoretically 7mbps down/ 768kbps up, this would appear to be the physical limit my line is capable of supporting:
