Internet speed test...rather disappointed

2548 down / 236 up.

Our 3Mb cable line is fine for now; the only issue arises when my roommate torrents or is playing a WoW game that's more intense than usual. The other two roommates use the Internet for mere browsing much like I do (save for the occasional FTP transfer) and even with all four of us on at the same time there's no problems. If anything I'd rather have faster upload speeds.

Why were you disappointed with your results?

Why are my uploads so high?

Zzzzzzzzzzz

hahaha I love my 6mb connection!!

Then again, I guess that's what I get for living in a small town.

Since I'm only paying for 1meg, I'm happy. $30/month. I'd be curious to know what the monthly bill is on some of these 5-10 meg connections.

I'm also disappointed... I'm paying for a 3096/384 down/up cable connection at a rate of 89â�??¬/month ($108.32/month at the moment)... and this is what I get.

When the TKS guys came to check it out, I showed them the tests I did with Broadband Reports, so they took me to Wie ist meine IP-Adresse and did a test that came out to ~3000 down.

Now look at it... and I have no idea what the ??? is in the BBR line quality test...

Yeah, I'm definitely not happy with my internet here!

Loggerbomb, all of those are US servers, might play a factor in it.

Try HERE and let me know what you get. It uses CDN servers.

You should definetly be calling your ISP!!

I can't believe some of the speeds you guys are getting! I am happy as a pig in filth with my 3meg connection, a 10meg connection must be sweet!! I can't wait until I move into the Dallas metro area, I am sure they have fast connections available!

Depends on what you have... your download speeds look to be normal for a 768 down, but that upload looks way fast for that slow of download.

What is your ISP claiming you are paying for?

well i have no idea really, geuss id have to look into that. but cmon its 48 bucks and change! (CAD)

What would the difference be between wireless or wired? Save for a tiny bit of interference, even 802.11b wouldn't be the bottleneck on your connection since it's 11Mb.

There's a SLIGHT overhead of encapsulating TCP packets to 802.11. So, theoretically a wired connection would yield a higher (only SLIGHTLY) rate over wireless.

More fuel for my COMCAST BlOWS campaign. I never get the speeds im told I get. and any time THEY test it... oh its fine you're getting "blazing fast speed!"

bastards. 249 upload is the damn reason I couldnt play any of my games online for awhile

If Cox ever upgrades the service in Vegas, my downspeed will get a LOT faster. They'll always be stingy with the upspeed I figure, unless I upgrade to a custom business account or something...

well, after my disappointing results, i decided to call comcast and apparently i only had their 5mbps service. i went ahead and upgraded to their 8mbps (highest they offer in my area) for an extra 10 bucks a month. yay!

LOL!

It's obvious who is at work!

The likely hood of any of your using your max on a single system is near Nil so about maybe 1MB, it's all wasted. Enjoy your delusions guys.

The systems you are hitting are likely on an OC-192 backbone, which at my last known use was only at 50% usage nation-wide.

Y'all still beat me! I hate my ~350/250Kbps cable that's supposed to be 3096/384!

Of course, when the cable guys come with their test equipment, there's "nothing wrong."

...Oh, and did I mention I'm paying over $100/month for it? Oh yeah, I did

thats lightning speed!

rumor mill is spinning...

comcast is already testing a new 16/1 home connection on the east coast in areas with access to FiOS (competitor). trying not to lose market share i guess. too bad i don't have FiOS here in central indiana (it is in fort wayne though).

~Andrew

I've talked to people who work for both Roadrunner, and Verizon. I've heard nothing about roadrunner upgrading their service to compete with verizon's fios. Though, i'm sure they're going to have to soon. It's damn close to $50 a month for roadrunner here now, and verizon's fios is $10 cheaper and 5 times faster on download. Oh, and about 10 times faster with uploads. The fastest roadrunner speeds i've seen are around 5megabits, and those are people who were having problems with their connection so the cable company came out and gave them some sort of booster.
