work connection


home connection

I think work wins.

vanblah

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.

Willravel

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

Home is a bit faster. Comcast cable.

Shauk

damn, that upload speed is something

healer

That's what you get in a 3rd world country with a telecommunications monopoly.

blahblah454

Here is mine, pretty bad compared to you guys. Does me being in Canada have anything to do with that?



Here are my results from Bermuda... what the hell?

Willravel

The numbers on mine went up when I used the faster machine at home.

ironman

My house connection, believe it or not, I pay $61.00 a month for this speed.

That is true willravel. I would take a kick ass suit with pulse weapons in my palm than a fast internet connection.

spectre

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.

Home connection:


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.

Jinn

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.

Some of your pings are horrible. o_O

I live in southern NJ and get better speeds to Chi than NY or MD... go figure.



Anyone using FIOS?

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:

My work connect was around 800/600, so I rdp'd home and am still impressed with that bandwidth
