The Ol' Bandwidth Speed Test

[GameMaster]

I know I've shown this before but the computer board is kind of slow lately and maybe your speed has increased or decreased since our last testing! Only one way to find out, click here (http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/) .

umm...i picked ADSL, i think thats what i have (high speed phone line), in canada.

so yeah.

Im using Insightbb Cable internet...but damn...I remember when I first got da cable internet, it was blazing...I remember getting well over 2 Megabits per second on these things...Damn people...signing up and taking my bandwidth:mad: :mad:

But thats still pretty good I suppouse.

[Mushlafa]

Better than both of you .. haha :p

Yea, they say that fantastic thing for me too...

That sounds like the results I used to get when I first got Cable...What provider are you using?

I had the same problem with mine. It was 2 mbits then all of a sudden it wasn't getting past 1 mbit on the speed tests. I just phoned my cable provider two days ago and found out that my sister had messed around with our kazaa upload settings and we had wasted 10 gigs of bandwidth. They had lowered the speed of our modem. That might be a reason cuz usually cable companies try to stay competitive by upgrading their lines so you get the speed that you're paying for.

[Blade Runner]

Woohoo, i remember when i had dial up how i could barely load the page, lol. Now i have road runner!

Your raw speed was 2395437.41 bits per second which is the same as:

2.4 megabits per second

292.4 kilobytes per second

1MB file download=3.5 seconds

Compared to all connection types worldwide, yours is fantastic.

Road Runner ownz all!

[manasecret]

3 Megabits per Second at home, so I beat all of you!

I doubt that is it...I only use Kazaa once in awhile, and even when I do, its not very often

Oh yeh, compared to other 56.6k modems, mine is poor.

Well... Yeh... :unsure:.

[GameMaster]

I don't think it's in reference to other modems. It means in reference to all internet connections (cable, dsl, dial-up).

No, because they ask you for what connection you have.

[Null]

1.9mb/sec now.

new internet server we have now.... have to wait and see what it averages out as.

it said 2 when i first tried, 1.8. then 1.9.

now it says i've run all my tests for the hour or something. *sobs*

Hmm, I didn't realize dial-ups could have such a range of difference.

Perhaps, its in reference to 14.4, 28, 56...

You don't have a 14.4 modem on your computer do you... :hmm:

We have a very, very old skool Macintosh with a 14.4 modem. Browsing with that is very frustrating. It came around about the same time as public internet started appearing and back then most sites were just text so it's all relative.

[Null]

i believe (note i had to read about these things in acient history books) that a 56k modem, doesnt mean it connects at 56k.

you look at the icon when you log on, it can be logged on at any speed, be it 14.4, 44.4 is frequent, or 36. etc.


mind you i might have to check with some really old people to check this info out.

[Seven7]

Hey...mine is 33.6 and i think it's fine for forums and most sites i go too, I've been thinking of getting a new computer but i'm fine with the one i have now at least until it stops working.:p

[Ice Gecko]

It seems forums take a whole lot longer than most corporate web sites. Even a 500k gamefaq is done quicker but thats just text so I really don't know mine connects at 42.6 usu.

Pretty pathetic really, considering we pay around $80 a month and only get 1gig of donwloads (Aussie ADSL, one company still catching up with the rest of the world)

I LOVE MY SPEED :D

I know....thanks.....I LOVE IT :D






I wonder if there is anything Higher then that.... :confused:

[Happydude]

WHOA DENIS!!!! HOW THE F*CK DID YOU PULL THAT OFF?!?!?!

[DenisTheDuDe]

...................??? what :confused:

[Happydude]

your way past a T1 connection, even though you have the same thing as me...it took you 0.7 scs to DL 1 MB!!! thats like T3 or faster maybe connection

[DenisTheDuDe]

Mehhhhh i dono.........
the good thing is that i can download 50mb less then a minute......im happy with that :D

[GameMaster]

I'm convinced you Photoshopped that...

Null, could it be real?

Null, could it be real? Actually, hitting "back" on your browser will always do this on a bandwidth test..and since it's already cached to your HD, this is why you end up with rediculous speeds (for instance I had a 1.2mb result from a 56k modem).:mad:

Either that, photoshop, or this guy has one mean data pipe beneath is crib...:unsure:

It definately does. I tried that and well...

If its false data then how come i was able to download 50 mb in

less then a minute........:confused:

[DenisTheDuDe]

Here...........i did a couple of tests and its still as high.....







other one is below.........how can i browse two images into one post :confused:

[DenisTheDuDe]

............

[Mushlafa]

hehehe... well. i pressed back on the speed test and got this result

[Mushlafa]

then i did it again and got this

[DenisTheDuDe]

Lol thats funny.......

if its Negative it actually gets Uploaded and not downloaded :confused:

[Canyarion]

"The speed result was too high or too low
The speed test will not accept results that are negative or too high for the indicated connection type. This test was not counted."
Crap. :unsure:

"Last Result:
Download Speed: 4937 kbps (617.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 480 kbps (60 KB/sec transfer rate)"

Hm, I'm afraid these websites aren't fast enough for my connection, because I KNOW I download with at least 8 MB/s. :D When I'm on a student network with DC++, I download 600+ MB movies within a few minutes.

How? I'm on the network of our university. :)

[Typhoid]

I dont know what any of this means, but this is what it said at the top:



1.3 megabits per second
Communications 1.3 megabits per second
Storage 154.1 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 6.6 seconds
Subjective rating Good

[Canyarion]

Hm now I tried again (actually read what the problem was :D) with 'Other' as connection type.
"4.7 megabits per second
Communications 4.7 megabits per second
Storage 577.9 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 1.8 seconds
Subjective rating Awesome"

But I know it's faster than that. ;)
