Post your Speedtest.net result here!

by **r3loaded** » 25 Nov 2008, 11:54

Just to compare our internet connections (and because I know I'll beat you all

)

That was on an LSE computer linked to the network by gigabit ethernet, which is linked to the internet by a multi-gigabit fibre-optic link. :wink:

The company I work for connects to a straw via some string.

dono why my upload speed is so low

by **Echelon** » 25 Nov 2008, 18:25

This is mine. Strange, cause i got a 6/1mbit line.

by **r3loaded** » 26 Nov 2008, 00:24

Luckyg, your upload speed is normal. If you're on 20mbit, it's the download speed u wanna be worried about.

by **GTFO. Cole Scuttle** » 26 Nov 2008, 18:14

I don't know. Does that thing do negative numbers?

by **GTFO. Gash** » 26 Nov 2008, 18:44

joy, and we b gettin upgraded soon

by **GTFO. kk20** » 26 Nov 2008, 21:15

W00t quickest its been for ages (I live in the sticks a few Kms from the exchange on crumbling old BT wires).

It would be quicker for me to throw a paper aeroplane to the maidenhead server and back....

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 28 Nov 2008, 00:28

brrrrmmmmm

by **GTFO. Clymout** » 28 Nov 2008, 12:37

ok so is this a man thing? My speed is bigger than yours!

I'm on 20Mbit and average about 17-18, but I ain't gonna post it here because I don't give a hoot
for it. If I can play then that's it.

by **GTFO. NachoDuck** » 01 Dec 2008, 23:33

This test is pretty bad, it's usually a little better than this.. just a little though. BT are clearly the best ISP around.

Bollocks!

by **GTFO. NachoDuck** » 08 Dec 2008, 18:22

I guess I didn't make my sarcasm obvious enough

. Here's a more recent and slightly better one

by **Joy Division** » 09 Dec 2008, 00:03

guess the 20Mb is living up to its expectations. just got it today..

by **r3loaded** » 09 Dec 2008, 02:02

Wow, that's 20Mbit with 2Mbit upload!! Virgin Media here doesn't even give us 1Mbit....just 750k

by **Joy Division** » 09 Dec 2008, 08:44

Yup pretty lucky with UPC here in Romania and its dirt cheap at 140 RON(about 36 euro) for digital cable w/DVR, telephone service, and 20Mb internet.

by **r3loaded** » 09 Dec 2008, 11:23

Hmmm, they're also in Netherlands - 24Mbps download, 2.5Mbps upload for â‚¬35/Â£30 month. And they also have 60Mbps and 120Mbps fibre connections.....

WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS BLOODY COUNTRY?! :evil:

by **Joy Division** » 09 Dec 2008, 16:36

just thought id try out some different locations across europe and this was the fastest i got. To Austria. /me shrugs....

upgrading my virgin media package from 2mb to 20mb next month, should hopefully see a bit of a boost!

Only get 245 kb/s max with a 2mb connection. Believe thats standard tho for 2mb...

by **GTFO. Clymout** » 12 Dec 2008, 11:55

Hey Jamie Virgin throttle speeds at certain times during day especially if you are a larger user.

When you get 20Mb don't expect that speed all the time. Yesterday I was averaging 4Mb on a 20Mb
connection. They are gits. Anyhow I'm only paying for 2Mb with a 20Mb connection

by **GTFO. Jamie** » 12 Dec 2008, 13:00

well im paying for a 2mb connection at the moment, and my max speed is 244kb/s.

What do you reckon would be the average download speed if i updgrade to 20mb?

by **GTFO. Clymout** » 12 Dec 2008, 14:38

Hi Jamie...well it depends on where you download from I guess. I have experienced nothing higher
than 1.1M/s. It can swing between 260-784Kb/s download. Yesterday I downloaded cp_busytown that was 20Mbyte in size and took 4 minutes at peak time(1700ish).

Just don't expect everything to be lightening quick.

by **GTFO. Jamie** » 12 Dec 2008, 14:43

yea i know im not expecting lightning quick speeds, just 'fast enough' speeds. The only time i get max download speed is through rapidshare premium downloads, where it max's out at 246kb/s

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 12 Dec 2008, 17:00

my virgin 20Mb/s is always quick. Lowest speeds I've ever tested was around 12Mb/s. I download from steam and torrents at 2MB/s

Well aren't you the lucky one then. I am so really pleased for you...have a biscuit

by **GTFO. kk20** » 29 Dec 2008, 00:33

Well I might not beat you but this is from my mobile phone.

Hell it beats some peoples ADSL connections. FEAR the upload - it turds my ADSL! And with that ping I reckon I can game on the damn phone.

by **Hito** » 29 Dec 2008, 13:16

Hmmm Results are better then I thought they would be.

I have a 15 Mbps line with a download limit of 25 GB a month.
Damn Belgian IPS

by **r3loaded** » 29 Dec 2008, 13:21

Wow kk20, that's better than this shitty ADSL connection I'm on in India atm:

That said, I should blame my aunt for getting the cheapest possible tariff

jeez, didnt think many companies still had download limits...

by **illstopemfloppin** » 29 Dec 2008, 19:37

All of the Karoo (Torch idk why) packages are limited tho ive never exceeded the 75gb. Pretty ridiculous really.

by **Hito** » 29 Dec 2008, 20:05

Belgium is one of the few countries where the main ISP's have download limits. I'm glad they raised the limit from 10 to 25 trough the past 6 months.

by **GTFO. kk20** » 29 Dec 2008, 21:24

most ISPs in the uk have *published* limits although all of them have the limits. My ADSL is 300gig limit although my mobile is only 1gig per month (its not like I download heavily on it!)

by **sahaya** » 07 Oct 2011, 06:47

i tested my internet connection at two different speed test site
scanmyspeed.com
downloads: 1.09Mbps
uploads: 0.8Mbps
http://www.speedtest.net
downloads: 1.98Mbps
uploads: 0.5Mbps
which is the reliable site to check the speed?

by **Speedsweeper** » 07 Oct 2011, 21:31

by **r3loaded** » 08 Oct 2011, 07:45

Lol, another thread necro'd by another newbie...

Oh well, since this has been opened, I upgraded to 30mbit a couple of months ago, and I'm not disappointed:

Speedsweeper, has your area not had the upload speed upgrade yet? Your download:upload ratio should be around 10:1 after the upgrade, so you should get 5mbit upload.

by **Speedsweeper** » 08 Oct 2011, 16:52

Unfortunatly my area won't have the improved upload speed until the 13 of March next year. :shock:

by **GTFO. Coffin Stuffer** » 09 Oct 2011, 04:18

meh, fast enough for me!

by **GTFO. Loser** » 09 Oct 2011, 14:05

This is my new connection in London, Not 2 bad

by **GTFO. Lost Sock** » 10 Oct 2011, 12:34

If only this was my home connection....
