Poll : Your internet speed

I can't imagine a website like youtube back in the dial up days. I remember downloading a 10mb prank phone call audio clip (IIRC it was some woman complaining about picking up her car from something and there being a big turd in the back seat) that took ages to download and being amazed.

 

A wonderfully rotten place, yeah...

 

I've been very happy with Verizon FiOS. Always fast. Have had it for about a year and I haven't had it go down once.

 

Not very fast, but I'm happy with this speed and the price I pay for it...

 

They did a test in the UK on the 4G network and got a very nice 85MB/S download speed. then again it's only on trial in London and nobody is using it yet.

My connection is pretty poor today with downloads only being 39MB/S and uploads being 55MB/S. It's normally twice that. Oh well, still good enough for perfect on-line gaming and streaming HD movies.

So today I checked my PING to see if the line is actually clean. Great news

 

Will be getting upgraded from 20/30Mb to 60Mb between april and july this year for free as Virgin Media in the UK are doubling everyone's speed.

Right now though i'm getting crap speeds even though i am on wifi with a good signal which normall is a bit faster than this.

 

That's a natural inhibitor. you also posted at a time when lots of people are on the internet. If you were on wired at a better time (early morning) you'd get good speeds.

 

Yup. Still sucks for me.



SLOWER THAN 65% OF THE US?

 

I didn't read all the pages, but do I win? (^_^);



Here is a second test, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.



I can actually get speeds into the 1000+ mb/s, however for some reason speedtest.net craps out and prints out a blank score card like this:



I think it's a bug since the scorecard doesn't have space for the extra digit. They could just express it in gb/s but I guess they don't usually get people complaining about it.

 

Damn, what sorcery is this? ^^

 

Hi,

I've 50Mb fiber line with Telefonica España.

This is my ping test



=)

 

Around 75 Mb with fiber.

 

I get 200 Kbps download and 20 Kbps upload max speed with Wild Blue satellite. I guess I win the slow internet contest?

 

rural america, ouch.

 

I have 100 Mbit fiber..

 

Updating with a proper speed test:

 

Not bad, though slightly lower than usual in the upload-speed category.
