Internet speed?

[Darol Wester]

Just curious what folks are getting for computer speed out there. Just tested mine at a Ping of 73, download is 3.17 and the upload is .68. Compared to some I've seen in the past, I think my confuser still carries a club and eats raw meat. This is on DSL.

Does running Vista nd Norton have anything to do with that?

 

[Nick]

Not bad Ernesto . Different times of the day will give different results , If you are on dsl, or cable a lot depends on how many people are ahead of you on the line to the box .

No . Speed-test is a good way to check and see if you are getting what you pay for .
A lot of ISP'S will throttle back your bandwidth if you do a lot of downloading .

No telling on the line, I'm out in the sticks with comcast cable but buy the superduper highest speed supposedly. I bet my kids superduper computer does better.

Nicks site says Ping 57 ms Download 6.38 Mbps Upload 0.77 Mbps
Not good in Kiwi Land
Even Lo's speed would be faster

81/5.13/.63

 

[Nick]

You on dial up ?

 

[Floorist]

Nope, AT&T DSL. We do have 5 computers and an X-BOX 360 hooked up to a system that is only supposed to carry 4 computers.

 

[Nick]

What speed are you paying for ?
run speed test and post it's results .

I did run a speed test. Don't know what we are paying for, whatever is their fastest.

 

[Nick]

Call and ask them what is the download , and upload speed you are paying for .
That's awful slow for DSL .
Don't care if you have a 100 boxes hooked up .
Bandwidth is Bandwidth .

Our modem is very old and the DSL lines here are not fiberoptic. That doesn't help.

 

[Darol Wester]

If you're at turtle speed, what does that make me? A slug? We've got fiber optics within two miles of our house, then it's just phone line to the house.

AT&T says it's not profitable to run fiberoptic here. But the local cable company is in the process of running it and will offer internet in a few months. I may have to check them out. The only other internet available here is a local company. A friend had them and kept track, she lost her connection 36 times in a 2 hour stretch one evening.
