KMA-628

Just curious about other people's connection speeds.

I ran a test here:

http://tech.msn.com/products/speedtest.armx

And got: 2839.2 Kbps - You

Are you higher? Lower? The same?

Mine seems to be getting faster and faster (I have not done anything to my service). When I first got my cable modem a year and a half ago I clocked around 1400kbps.

If you are getting faster, I would be curious to know how, what service, company, etc.

Oh yeah, this is a connection in my home, so it is not commerical in any way.

Is there a better place to test your connection speed?

Thanks,

I got 3225.3 kbps.

I remember a place that did this sort of thing as well, but I forgot the name.

KMA-628

I found the other one (dsl reports) that I used in the past.

I came in a 3011kbps (with another P.C. hooked up and using the internet as well).

Here is the link:

Who is your internet provider?

Mine varies ridiculously... from about 1200 Kb to about 2900.

I think my bandwidth is shared among too many people.

phredgreen

hrm. mine is a pathetic 324.9 kbps. we're on some kind of shit dsl service through verizon. I can'tw ait until we move from this dump and get cablemodem.

I got a range of 930kbs all the way to 3.5mb/s here at work. I'll do a test at home a little later to see what the ol' cable modem can pull.

EDIT: Home speed is a blazing 2350 kb/s. Gotta love the cable.

Yeehaw! 4210.5 kbps

Unfortunately, I'm at the library, which runs a T1, I think. At my house, no internet at all!

polyphobic,

Can I be so bold as to ask how much for "Bandwidth Place" (your home connection, correct?)

I am getting royally screwed by Comcast for my connection (plus, we are in the same area). Because I don't have cable T.V. my bill is almost $60.00 a month.

At what point are you going fast enough?

At what point are you going so fast that going faster isn't noticeable?

Bandwidth Place is a place to do speed tests. I go there a lot too.

Can't do a speed test now b/c I've been downloading some things, but my connection usually maxes out at about 360kB/s while downloading things. So that comes out to about 2880kb/s

Polyphobic

I don't think that is possible. You simply find more uses for the new speed. Ex: once we have enough speed then fullscreen video on demand will be possible. Thus, the greater the speed the greater the possibilities.

Ok, not seriously... I just hit the back button in Firefox and my guess is that it loaded the cached files and calculated that...

Omid,

what kind of service are you using? Did you pay more for extra speed?
