My average speed (I did three tests in five minutes) is 659 kbp/s.
I’m cruising at 688 kbps.
I get a lousy 219! What’s up with that? Shouldn’t a DSL connection be faster?
**Auntie Pam. ** Yeah, I’m with you. That is weird.
I got 145. That’s kind of crap, isn’t it. sighs
I redid it, using the World setting. Went down to 37. :dubious: I’m not waiting ages for pages to load, so I’m puzzled about this. Daughter’s boyfriend is a computer whiz, I’ll have him take a look at it.
All those ads – does this mean I’ve reloaded the spyware I got rid of yesterday?
I saw no ads and my adblockers only pinged once for a Macromedia 8 update download, which I’m ignoring.
The world test seems to get lower speed results, if it makes you feel better. I got a 116. For U.S. websites alone, I average between 670-800.
Cable internet modems rock. 
Thread title changed per request of OP.
502.7 for world, 842.9 for the US.
Dag. I want YOUR modem, son. :eek:
739 kbps
I’m using Road Runner.
It would be good if people also said what bitrate they’re supposed to be getting, and what kind of connection they have. And I notice that the bitrate seems to go up if you run the same test a few times, maybe due to caching somewhere along the line.
Me, I’m supposed to be on 512kbps ADSL. It’s probably off-peak now here, and according to that site, I’m getting about 220k for UK sites, under 100k for the “world” test.
Okay, I’m averaging between 600 and 800 kbp/s. I’m supposed to be on a 6mg per minute high-speed cable internet connection, which works out to about… oh, hell. My math sucks. But I seem to be doing okay. It’s probably off-peak here, it being a holiday, but I’m doing okay.
I got 863, but I’m paying extra money for a faster dsl over the regular dsl.
920 USA
602 World
Not sure what we’re using, my husband likes to “upgrade” (modems/service providers) whenever he gets the chance. He likes to go fast.
I use an Alienware Notebook, if it makes a lick of difference.
Ha ha. 36 kbp/s. It sucks, but it’s free!
At school, with whatever they had, I consistently got 500 to 600 kbp/s. I miss it. The parents are a bit reluctant to spring for high speed. The only one who really uses the internet is yours truly and I’m going to be leaving.
On a pokey G3 iBook with an 802.11b wireless card on a different floor from my airport I get 600kbp/s. There are two laptops and a PSP sharing the line. Mostly I think it’s the distance from the router, though.
Downstairs, on the Frankenstein Mac (specs unknown to me, but it’s quite fast and only a few months old), direct connection and an empty house, I got 1800 on average.
We’re on a cable modem. It’s also 2 in the morning here.
11,069 kbps, world.
15,973 kbps, USA.
I only ran the test once, with the default 30 second test 41 frame screen layout.
No idea what speeds I’m supposed to be getting.
Are you guys rounding your numbers, or am I getting good speeds?
To the people getting poor numbers: These don’t necessarily mean anything about your connection speed, per se.
I’m on a 1.5 Mbps DSL modem (theoretically, 1500 kbps), and getting about 600 from this test on “US” mode (I’m in Oregon), and 200-400 for the world.
Connecting to my ISP’s download site, I’m getting 1560 kbps (which is the real “speed” of my connection, since it’s only them to me.) Connecting to the local university, which is probably at the same ISP, I get 1400 or so (rounding from download speeds, which are measured in bytes rather than bits). To Apple Computer’s developer site (Northern California), about 900. These numbers have a little bit of slop in them due to the way I’m measuring, but they’re close.
So basically, the numbers for accessing the world at large depend on: (a) how far away from you (in number of network hops and physical distance) the various sites are on average, (b) time of day, © congestion of every router between you and those sites, on average. If you’re getting low numbers, but the sites you want to talk to are responding rapidly, don’t worry about it.
Hmm, I question the validity of this site test. I’m on dial-up with a 56k standard modem through AOL. I got a result of 64. WTH?
