YES! THAT'S GRE–Wait, low numbers are good, right?

How Fast Is Your Internet?
just to be silly, i found the furthest distance i couldThe furtherest from you is here??? O_o
And even THIS far you get faster upload than me :)
My test to the place that looked furtherest away to me:
And to the U.S. somewhere…
That's not bad considering it's all away around the globe.
i must try it out too. :P
i can leech off ozone at a 1+mb rate :P
i guess thats good considering i'm testing this on a machine that's almost 10 years old with a USB modem and extension cord atached to a whiskey bottle pointed towards the neighbors house
What's amazing is you get a huge upload rate too. Upload's usually much smaller unless you're on some kind of direct network…
Dial-up doesn't go higher than 56kbps. Only for download. I don't think upload is anything near that on dialup.
All speeds here are broadband, but maybe different price plans as well as methods…? Like Wifi, Satelite, Cable, DSL… makes a big difference. As does your own computer, router, cables… even the programs you have running at the time you test it.
:/
I hate to say it, but I can't stand these tests. Not because of their rampant use, but because they're pretty inaccurate. I work for a data services company and regularly log into hubs and test circuits from the source. We regularly see circuits run as fast as possible up and down stream, but most lines are half duplex (that's why there is such a huge rush to push to full duplex-fiber and also away from copper lines), so you're cutting into you're bandwidth when you're uploading the same time you're downloading (that's why these tests will try to make each side [up and down] run separately). Not to mention if you're on a router that runs through a firewall, accesses it's own DNS serv, or goes through multiple routing changes/overflowed hubs, then there are a number of issues that could go wrong.
All this is on top of new bandwidth caps some companies are placing lines that use over a certain amount of bandwidth/month. This is fairly rare, and most companies won't do this until about the 10gig mark, but comcast is being kinda jerky about it lately and even cutting it before that mark. I work for a company that supplies bandwidth to government facilities, so we don't cap the bandwidth… so when we see a T1 on a new fiber line, it'll hit 1.4megs easily.
Sorry to be so angsty about these tests… lol. That being said… if you're going to test them, do it at about 3-4am and you ought to get better speeds. And some of you seem to be on fairly decent lines (t1, fastE, 100meg, gigE-lines)… very nice indeed.
That having been said, I can get a true 1.1meg downstream, after about 5 hops outside of my own home network. :)
*EDIT* oh yeah… sorry if I was slightly incoherent… was watching '24' while I typed it :P
