Bandwidth Check

Curious what people are getting:
CNet Bandwidth Check

I scored 392.3kbps as a high 296.4kbps as a low.

Also check this out: You can always just do a regular ping, but this is easier for some,
CNet Site Ping

of 3 of my sites they ranged
13ms (No traffic at all)
72ms (Average Day)
893ms (Almost like it is dead?)

DvdTalk=64ms
GotApex=93ms
anandtech=145
DealHunting=265ms
NBC=Blocked my Pings

Our supposed "high speed" access rocks in at a whopping 34. That's right, slower than a 56K modem. I'm pretty impressed. I think we're missing a local server, so they've routed us to some server in Virginia or something. I had a feeling it was slower than dial-up...

Are you sure you didn't mean 340? I would be extremely pissed if DSL was running @ 34Kbps.

I still find this one hard to even imagine, ha, it would be cheaper for universities to get 3 of these than multiple OCR128 100 Freaking MBPS?

Don't I know it. I don't understand how they expect us to get work done around here! The guy in the next cube clocked in at a gargantuan 1.6. F'in amazing.

you can find a more accurate speed test here:

http://www.dslreports.com/stest/0

just select the server of choice, then check off "verbose", then click "start".

you may also want to check out the Tweak Test on the same site (listed under Tools on the left).

with roadrunner (mmcable) service, I've gotten 2215/1025 (down/up).

969.1 on AT&T cable. Tolerable, I guess. I still miss working on the federal government's connection at the USDA. Nobody there knew what the hell it was or what it was rated for, but it was fast enough to make me an LPB on Doom2 deathmatch.

from work i have scored everywhere from
2873 to 506.7. it bounces back and force depending how many people are on at a time, which can mean between 1000 and 10, it sucks not having any consistency

206.1 - 185.6

on my school's "t1"

i guess it's better than dial up

ok, at home now and i have a cable modem from at&t @home
i got everywhere from 720 to 6800, mostly i got 1040 to 1500
i have a feeling the 6800 couldnt have been realistic

Maybe its just me, but is it too much to ask for a 24/7 connection. or maybe a 23.5/7 connection. but not a 12/7 connection with a crappy authentication system

You don't go to the same school that AmRivlin and Pagemap go, do ya? They're probably clogging the pipes with their broadcasts

damn, $1000/ month for a 100Mbs line is pretty cheap

Lesson learned today? I am spoiled by broadband with only this much bandwith courtesy of Road Runner.
