How fast is your connection

This has been around a bit but it's still useful for those of you wondering how good your Internet connection is. ZDNet has a bandwidth tester that will give you an idea of how good your connection is.

My cable modem is through Comcast and tested at 1.665 megabits per second.

that is a link to the same site, different area which allows you to add a link for a visitor to your site to see how fast their connection to your site is.

Chi Chi, yes it is--if you have the normal Road Runner package I don't think you forgot anything the first time

Hi there,

I have right now via ADSL:
down: 1024 kbps
up: 320 kbps

However here in The Netherland the companies that offer broadband are fighting a battle to get customers, so that is good for the speed.
My adsl-company is raising the down in januari to 2048 kbps

In 1 year i have gone up from 512 / 96 to 2048 / 320

Chao,

Chris

Oh yeah... the price...

I pay € 50 in 1 months, so about 62

Your line speed:

933.6 Kbps

114.4 K bytes/sec

Fast enough for now

hehe I'm the first from the other side of the fastest line list.. 120kb down, 20kb up.. it's 21 ls/month (that's about 45 $ a month or about 26 pounds a month).. isn't cheap..

Clocked at 1975 kbps thru Adelphia Cable.
Some days I step on the boundries of 2.0 and some others I barely reach 1.0

My speed: 854 Kbps
Time Warner Cable's lovely Road Runner service, used to be much faster at my other house but that was when I was living in a neighborhood amongst old folks, guess they weren't too big on the highspeed internet... Oh well, I believe it costs in the range of $45 per month up here in the Greater Portland Area (Maine)

Down = 1409 kbps
Up = 79 kbps
Connection = Cable
ISP = Charter

It's at least close to what it should be. I'm paying for 1.5 mb/s connection. Altoona, PA right now has a cap of that speed till they get all the new fiber optic lines installed. At least I hope they take off the cap when they are done.

I tested it three times and got three very different results:


233 Kbps
478 Kbps
826 Kbps


Now, that is quite a difference in results.  Mcaffee is totally smoking dope saying that it is around 1500, which is just wrong.


Either the tests are not accurate at all, or satellite is very flaky with speed (or it is a combination of both).  I would say that is typically runs somewhere between the two lowest numbers, which still blows away dial-up, so I really don't care

Measely dialup here, though I have tried a few bandwith tests and they all seem lower than they should. It shows 36kps, but my connection shows 49. Not a huge difference in the scheme of things though lol.

Here's another great link http://www.pcpitstop.com with all different kinds of tests(connection up and down,ping,etc.).This seems to be a little more accurate than zdnets especially if your connection is over 2 mbyte.I have Comcast and my down is 3067kb/s,up 242kb/s.Comcast is in the process of moving everybody to 3mb down and comcast pro to 4mb down. I am not sure what they are capping us on up speeds.My price is $51.99 a month without cable tv.Also,anybody running routers remember to upgrade your firmware.It can make a huge difference in speed.

I use this site to get my info. http://www.dslreports.com/stest

I did show higher then what I got at ZDNet which was 2410 kbps

At Broadband reports I got..
3022 kbps download
363 kbps upload

Not too shabby. I am using RoadRunner. Pricey yes. At 39.99 + tax a month but, at least it all comes on 1 bill with my cable.
