How Fast is Your Internet Connection?

[DPB]

Here' (http://www.speedtest.net/)s a great site that allows you to test your download and upload speed.

I'm using ADSL broadband that is supposed to be 528. :C

Wow martrix you have one hell of a conection. 10 gig residential only go to 2.5 gig and then you pay through the nose for a business connection. Well done

Don, great site, thanks

Iain, what plan and with who?


Martrix, you've got really crap upload speed, who you with? I also hope that latency is wrong. Waiting 9 seconds to get a response back would be really crappy.

Dunno whats going on.
The first test was on a puter on the end of the network at the other end of the house...2 comps connected via Ethernet to a main comp with a router.
Here is the test of the main comphttp://www.speedtest.net/result/69705914.png (http://www.speedtest.net)
any clues?

[Barry_White]

Something not quiet right.

Says upload is 900 odd K and should only be 128k. Latency is a problem.

[David H]

Wouldn't mind the download speeds some are getting. Was getting 1500kbs but provider cut us back to 512kbs because Telstra was charging them more rental on the copper stuff so they passed on the increase. Could still get faster but for alot more $$$

There is no local test server here in Perth but here's mine anyway from my home wireless network - cable BB in Perth to the Adelaide/Melb/Sydney servers.

Interestingly it's faster to Syd/Melb than to Adelaide.

I guess it's ok for being 2000 miles away!

Oh, for Optus Cable again.
I've had Telstra Cable, Optus Cable and ADSL from Telstra and Internode.

Optus Cable was the best hands down.

With Telstra you pay more get less. They included uploads as well as downloads in there monthly usage. Also, their 'Unlimited' plans aren't. They are shaped, that is they throttle your download speeds when you exceed your download limit.

Martrix, I have no idea why your network speeds are so slow. Is it wireless? Have you done a test again?

The best I've got from Optus cable is 1010/122. Nowhere near the numbers that other people are getting. I wonder why mine is so much slower? Maybe there's more people on my LAN? :? :?

Zed, what do you get from your Optus cable?

[Grunt]

That's how it works Craig, try it again at 3 am.

Mine is a 256 satellite with Bordernet and an ISDN 128 upload.
The result for upload doesn't make sense.

220/54 BROADBAND . I,m gunna have to complain and it costs to much . I think it was as quick before on dial up .

[old_picker]

I wouldn't be getting too excited chaps. These tests dont mean a great deal. At least run a series of tests at different times of the day on several different servers over a few days at least. This way you might get a more accurate idea of your average speeds. 1 isolated reading off 1 server dont tell you much. I jsut did two quick tests and the first showed 528 KBS downlaod ythe next showed over 9000 kbs.

I Neil should be banned for being so smug.

[rrich]

Usually about 5500 KB except when the kiddies are on after school and before supper then it slows down to 1500 KB. Or 5.5 meg slowing to 1.5 meg.

About $43US from Time Warner cable. (It's about the only thing that keeps us from moving to the Dish Network for TV.

Optus Cable, the old 'Unlimited' plan. Don't think it's available as such now, without going to commercial plans (and prices! :oo: )

I contracted for several years when I had it connected and so far they've stayed honest. :)

[lesmeyer]

As far as I am concerned, there is only ONE true way of checking the speed of your connection. Go to a website that can serve files at a speed higher that your connection. This amounts basically to only Microsoft. Download a 10MB file at various times and check the download speed. I generally get 1MB per sec. This equates to about 8Mb per sec. (On Bigpond Cable 7Mb connection)
My humble opinion.
