The Ol' Bandwidth Speed Test
 
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 .

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.

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

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 12-08-2002 04:20 PM

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 12-08-2002 06:19 PM

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 12-08-2002 06:54 PM

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 12-09-2002 01:43 AM

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 12-09-2002 05:30 PM

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.

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:
