I recently went from dial-up to broadband cable modem. I've had dial-up since the 1980s and local BBS (you old timer modem people know what I mean). This high speed thing is a HUGE jump in what I'd been used to for many, many years.

Here are a few links to test your connection speed. Try them out and post your results.

Here's a few of mine from toast.net using the Nibble Info Systems web host. Click on the performance test in the upper right corner.

Text test: 2910 Kb
Shuttle: 2906 Kb
Shuttle + text: 3043 Kb
Mars rover: 2997 Kb
F-16 Jets: 3043 Kb

And here's the results from Bandwidth Speed Test :

Communications 3 megabits per second
Storage 360.5 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 2.8 seconds
Subjective rating Great

Compared to dialup around here, where you get a MAX of 5 kb/s, this is awesome.

You have to be using a business line or something because there isn't anything over 5mb upload, for the residential area. 10meg is what T1?

Just curious, and where might you live I might need to move if thats residential. The highest available in my area is 5mb upstream/500 kb down stream.

it is residential, I live in the Bronx, NY
Funny thing is that a commercial just came on talking about how optimum online has upgraded and they are now 40% faster now than they were 2 years ago. They tout themselves as something like 40x's faster than dial up

actually a T1 line is a uncapped 1.5MB per second connection, (so Ive read) its more designed for large groups of people to use at once without drawback. My connection is the 3 megabit service by Charter, it friggan rules.
