Post your connection speed here...

[legion]

I'm broadband at 130k, and while this is the lowest (and cheapest) spec offered by my provider (NTL) it still rocks! :cool:

[Mr. Kobayashi]

Broadband at 576Kbps.

[Mr. Blue Sky]

480Kbps

[John Carter of Mars]

24.0 Kbps. Hey, it beats smoke signals! Nearest cable is 12 miles away and not likely to be here within the life of civilization as we know it.

[Berkut]

Internet: 34Mbps
Internet2: 45Mbps

[Call me Frank]

26.4kbps - analog switch between me and my ISP...

[drm]

averages 3Mbps

[cheddarsnax]

3Mbps cable from Comcast.

[SSgtBaloo]

46,666 kbps :p

This, from a 56k modem (and really, really noisy phone lines). I should be grateful. Sometimes I can't connect at all.

--SSgtBaloo

[Nametag]

28.8 kbps. Yeah, it's an old medem, and I ain't replacing it until they offer broadband here. ComCast says May. Promises, promises.

[if6was9]

DSL @ 453k

[legion]

Internet: 34Mbps
Internet2: 45Mbps

Get out of here!!!

34 MBPs?

This can not be from home....your hamsters would have 6 packs!

Do you work at NORAD/are you an astronaut or something?

[carnivorousplant]

37K dial up.
I live in the woods.
Deer walk down my dirt driveway and stare at me and the satellite antennas.
Sue me.

[Berkut]

34 MBPs?

This can not be from home....your hamsters would have 6 packs!

Do you work at NORAD/are you an astronaut or something?It's a university. Pay sucks, but I'll work for bandwidth.

[Sisyphus' Stone]

DL=512 kbps
UL=128 kbps

Asymetric DSL.

[legion]

It's a university. Pay sucks, but I'll work for bandwidth.

Goddamm, Berkut, I'd blow for a bandwidth like that! :cool:

[Brainiac4]

2.9 megabits per second, says the speed test at Bandwidthplace (http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/).

This is a little lower than usual. For those on high-speed connections, if you have not yet done the registry tweaking that removes some bandwidth limitations, you should. Check out Speedguide (http://www.speedguide.net/).

[IrreverentTone]

3.54 Mbps Cable America

[Clothahump]

320.7 kilobits per second, DSL

Methinks meneeds totweak :)

[Lobsang]

512kbps from manx telecom.

[Tentacle Monster]

According to the test, 1.7 Mbps. Of course, cable being how it is, it's fairly variable.

[truthbot]

I live out in the boonies. Waaay out in the boonies. My great-great-grandparents lived in the boonies. If I get 37,000bps I feel like I won the lottery! My average is 33,000bps. The phone lines where I live don't support anything faster/better. I am damned for eternity to a damned slow connection. It's the price I pay for living out in the 'boonies'. Remember folks, I'm talkin' bauds, not kilobytes!

[Vision of Love]

2.9 megabits per second, says the speed test at Bandwidthplace (http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/).

2.4 Mbps, Bell Sympatico High-Speed (DSL)

[Celyn]

Huh :( Theoretical 56K dial-up, currently running at only 14400 or so it says. (NTL)


I'm broadband at 130k, and while this is the lowest (and cheapest) spec offered by my provider (NTL) it still rocks! :cool:


legion _ think I have never heard anyone being so complimentary about NTL! :) I find myself reluctant to pay more for broadband in case it *still* runs slow a lot of the time. But you seem quite the happy bunny.

Hmm - I shall think!

[Chefguy]

464.8k according to the bandwidth site, which rates this as "not bad".

[Bottle of Smoke]

4.3 Mbps with Charter Pipeline.

This is after I downgraded to their middle-tier service. Can't complain.:)

[Oat1957]

1.9 megabits per second.

Adelphia.

[Captain Carrot]

Test says 24 kbs. Connection says 50,666 bps. Hmmm.... The site said, naturally, very slow. BTW, I have Starpower dial-up, and hopefully will get cable or DSL ever.

[alterego]

832 kbps from telecom italia

its expensive and it sucks.

that bandwidth test just told me i'm running at 326.2 kilobits per second, so its definitely not as advertised.

[Danalan]

1.1 Mbps.

[biqu]

39.7 kilobits per second.
Free dial-up access through my university is perfectly adequate for e-mail and web browsing. If I survive through this week I'll cancel my DSL service at the end of May (the earliest date on which I won't incur an early termination fee) and redirect $30 a month towards other leisure pursuits.

[GopherGod72]

3.4 megabits per second so sayth bandwidthplace.com

[Maple Leaf]

1.7Mbs according to bandwidth place

[fishbicycle]

Before I downloaded some registry patches, it was 733 kilobits/sec at the highest reading. Now it's 1.9 megabits/sec. The average in my area is posted as 2.05 mb/s.

I think I might ask you to beware of some sites that will test your speed and tell you that it's real slow, but you can fix it if you buy our $30 software that'll increase your speed by 375% !.

I'm on Comcast.

[typhoon]

2.9 megabits per second, says the speed test at Bandwidthplace (http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/).
According to that:

Here's the results from the bandwith site:

[samclem]

5.4 mega using Roadrunner in Akron Ohio.

(from bandwidthplace)

[dwc1970]

Bandwidthplace clocks me at 806 kilobits per second. I'm at home right now. Tomorrow morning I'll see how this compares to my speed at work.

More or less what he said, except RoadRunner Tampa Bay.

[Berkut]

Here's the results from the bandwith site:

16.5 megabits per secondThat's weird. I didn't even take that test because the website says "Connections over 8mbit/s are not supported."

What kind of connection are you using?

[sunstone]

3.9 megabits per second! Wo wo!

Darned fast...I am on cable. I wouldn't even consider going back to dial up.

[gotpasswords]

5.something megabits down and about 500 k up. dslreports.com gives me a "Dude!" rating. :cool:


This is at home. At work, there are so many gateways, proxies and whatnot, that speed tests generally bomb out entirely or come up with absurd results like 79 bytes/sec, which is worse than an old Teletype.

[sunfish]

4.3 Mbps down, 875 kbps up, according to dslreports. I'm a little more than halfway between "very fast" and "dude!"

Cable, on Optimumonline.

[Biggirl]

According to Bandwidthplace 2.6 Mbps with cable.

[Pelleas]

927.2 kbps according to bandwidthplace which they rated as good. I have Earthlink ADSL.

[Nightwatch Trailer]

2.2 Mbps ("great") according to bandwidthplace, using cable.

Just got cable after years of 56K...what a blessing.

[RealTronic]

Communications 117.8 kilobits per second
Storage 14.4 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 1.2 minutes
Subjective rating Mediocre

Well... That didn't come as a surprise, seeing as though I'm at work and we use an antique 128 kbps line dating back to the early 1800s.... ;-)

Can't wait to try my new (just signed up for it) ADSL 40/3 Mbit service at home though!

[Flamsterette_X]

Way too damn slow... so why am I even posting? *sighs*

All right, all right.... I'm still on the slowest modem ever, and the fact I can access these board is something else again! :D

[Bambi Hassenpfeffer]

Ran the test again, using my cellphone connection because RoadRunner is undergoing maintenance.
Communications 30.3 kilobits per second
Storage 3.7 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 4.6 minutes
Subjective rating Slow
Not terrible, but so much slower than my cable.

[VenusProbe]

DSL Reports says
Work: 972 kbps Down, 1629 kbps up.
Home: 728 kbps Down, 112 kbps up.

Fast enough I guess. :)
