This is my internet connection's speed before the upgrade:



And after the upgrade:



Actually, that isn't quite right yet. It should be almost twice that.

Removed the router and my hub:



(PS: Feel free to post your speed here. )

[Edit: Added graphs]

Its Comcastic!

Brighthouse

Guess its time for a new router

Dialup sucks

I have to ask you guys with those high speed connections.

Do pictures load, or just appear?

I think it's an old router though, maybe time for an upgrade!

After pressing "copy forum link" on the web page, then in your PPF screen, press Cntl V to copy the result.

Not that I upload much

Comcrapstic Business. I've seen better, but this is average. During this time of day. In the afternoon, it is insanely slow. I think dial up would be faster in the afternoon.

Not bad IMO...

Does that mean that its Comcastic?


Out of NZ:


Still faster than 56 ways to kill yourself and snail mail!

Guess I've got a faster connection that I thought.

I don't know much about computers, but I'm supposed to have high speed internet. Obviously not compared to you guys.

Jim

I would encourage everyone to do speed tests from multiple sources over the course of a week or more. A single test has too many factors able to skew results, for example programs running on your pc that are using the internet at the time of the test. You need to check at on-peak and off-peak times for your area as well. Additionally, there are internet providers who allow 'burstable' speeds for short periods of time which look impressive but do not show you what kind of speeds you get on average. Finally, your download speed is only as good as the server you're downloading from

Now, all that said, I might as well post my own results

here's a current one 4 me

Revised...............

Even when I had a slower connection that I do now for the most part the pics just appear, they don't 'load' or anything like I remember them doing on dial-up. I think its time to upgrade man. I don't know how you can even stand it.

Some places, hi speed of any kind is just not available--others, it may be available, but just not affordable.
I can get it here, but at a cost 3-4X what I pay for dialup. Just not worth it considering how little I use a computer.

Internet is SLOW at work.



My Iphone is running about the same as above.

Have to go home and test my home computer.

Exactly.

I have no cable available here, just sat. and at almost $80 a month I am just not going to pay that.

from my work

[deleted screenshot because my company was listed as the ISP and I could get in big trouble for that (don't ask)].

But it was 39 up, 24 down. At work of course, but I am winning!

I understand. Back in kansas high speed wasn't available there either. We had to get it through satellite which was at least 4x as much as dial-up. As much as I use the computer/internet if I was on dial-up I would be sitting here all day.

Holy Crap! At those speeds, I bet you see web pages before they are even typed.
