Thats on a wireless laptop, does that make any difference?

Removed my router:



Removed my router and my hub:

Mine is slower than I thought it would be. I guess it is because of my LAN here at the shop.


I guess if I removed my router it would be way faster but I have my server tied to 3 other computers that are all on the net as well.

I have an older dlink its been a work horse and has gave me years of service. What kind of routers are you guys using? I don't think they should effect bandwidth, could be the router part of it I guess but I only have one computer hooked to mine right now.

With the other equipment plugged in

Modem plugged into the computer


To the same server as Cliff

My home speed isnt too bad.



Much better than at work.

At work....strange that both up and down are almost the same...

It cost me $50 a month out here

i feel like killing myself


no wonder i had such a hard time getting the dew wipe videos uploaded.
I could have mailed them to youtube and been faster.

Seriously, that isn't bad at all. You have good download speeds and reasonable upload speed.

At those speeds, downloading a typical 700Mb (one CD's worth) movie would take about 9 minutes. Uploading the same 700Mb movie would take 3 hours. But upload is always much slower than download (unless you have a $1000 a month SDSL line). So really, those aren't bad speeds at all.

With cable they do still load, I mean you can see it build the pic starting at the top but it takes less than a second or two to build it in full. Depends on the quality and size.

That's DSL, folks.

In my ISP's defense, they suck.

I'm Bill in this one:

I'm speaking tongue-in-check. I'm on one of their slower plans, as I have never upgraded.

Edit: I should be fair, and say that that speed was measured across my wireless LAN, not from an Ethernet cable.

Here it is straight from the router, via Eithernet:

Not mine, I'll bookmark for when I get home and post mine.


At Moms house, still not home. But probably very similar .


And at the shop, finally made it home to check.

About $80 per month, including free local telephone during evening hours and digital tv with tv on demand.

On the wireless laptop.

Bump.

The actual company is Jet broadband. That's a lot better than I thought it would be too.

DSL,

I'm on budget DSL $21.99/mo

I could double the speed for $10 more a month

At work, thru a wireless connection. -Jason


At home


This one is 50 miles further away...

My sad connection
Sad considering I pay $100 a month and it is supposed to be 4 times faster than the best I ever get. My neighbours on the same plans get almost double my speeds. Makes no difference if we swap equipment and move stuff to each others houses. I have the crap line.



Yet I get a better speed to a server further away

Finally got myself a router that can handle the new speeds:

much better with new router.

Not a bad night....

At work:

I think the train might be faster!

Now with FIOS for $15 more per month than the budget DSL! Cliff, I'm intrigued about 'overclocking' a modem. Got links? I'm sort of familiar with bridging the modem, bonding ports and a few other things it's too early to throw out there, but I didn't know you could up your speed on the user end over what the ISP is giving. (I'm paying for 15MBs, and I usually sustain that.)
