Was thinking about connection speeds today as I keep running into DSL users with numbers much lower than what the phone companies suggest. At home I have the basic roadrunner cable and see ~4.8mb down and ~350kbps up. At work we pay for 5.0mb/384kb, but normally see ~2.5mb/~300kb. The phone company calls it a best case service, but the best I've ever seen is 2.9mb/370kb. I was curious to see what you guys are getting with various ISPs. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ http://www.dslreports.com/ | ||

At the Office I about 200mb/s up/down. I have flooded a box to wirespeed (almost 100mb/s) using bit torrents  We are upgrading our connections with our new move/datacenter build to 800mb - 1gb/s. Than again we are an ISP and I happen to be sitting in the control room. At home I have 6mb/384k cable, and it is way more than I really need for most stuff. Also remember that your local loop may/maynot be the bottle neck. Depends on time of day, location of the server you are trying to contact and various other network issues.. A lot of those speed test sites get pretty hammered by people testing their speed. So they may/maynot be the most reliable thing out there. | ||

Dallas server results at the speakeasy speedtest are 4249 kb/s down and 243 kb/s up. Gosh, I thought my Kilgore Cable internet was only 3 Mb/s down. Cool. | ||

4816 kbps down, 470 up from my local cable modem. Thats a cool test, it's better performance then I expected. If I took it to work and ran it in the right place in our data center, I would be seeing 2,000,000 kbps down and up.  | ||

For more rural areas the DirecWay two way satellite system is not too bad. I used that for about a year, until the cable system came into the area. My Adelphia cable connection ran 3,000-4,000 kbps for the first year or so. Then Adelphia started offering "premium" service for another $10 or so and my speed dropped down to about 2,000kbps or so. I get around 1,800 on my desktop machine, the 1,239 above was with my laptop via wireless from the living room. But 1,800kbps is fine, for those who don't understand the numbers, if you're getting 50kpbs on a dial up connection, 1,800 would be 36 times as fast. Jack |
