|  How Fast is Your Connection??? was just wondering what people are getting in general for their internet connection. You can test here http://reviews.cnet.com/internet-speed-test/ THIS IS WITH VERIZONS "AIR CARD" I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY DARN FAST CONSIDERING THIS IS BASICALY A CELL PHONE CONNECTION.  |

| Sorry to ruin your speedtest results, but those are not even close to accurate (think about server loads etc). The easy way to test your connection speed is to download some big archive, like linux distribution from a known fast server. Anyway I tried your test and it gave me 570Kbps (of course, I'm from "wrong" country and so on. These tests should always be done at least from the same country, preferably from a server nearby). Then downloaded a linux distribution from a known Finnish server (not LAN) and the speed was steady at 1,6MB/s (which is just about what this DSL-line will be up to). |

But even this test is more accurate only up to a certain speed. But for your typical home connection it should be fine. Here is a test I did a couple days ago when I got my new home connection.  Last edited by badger; 11-02-2008 at 02:12 PM. | |

|  Doesn't seem too bad. Edit: Consistent test results eh? Download Speed: 15034 kbps (1879.3 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 2317 kbps (289.6 KB/sec transfer rate) -from speakeasy 2771.7 Kbps (upload I assume? Just says connection speed) -from CNET Last edited by chrisjlittle; 11-02-2008 at 01:36 PM. |
