What's Your Speed

[oldno7]

I just upgraded to a 7mb service, I ran Speedtest and here are my results,

Download--6.08mb
upload--.75mb
ping--87ms

http://www.speedtest.net/

seems pretty good to me.

Thought it might be fun to have a thread dedicated to comparisons.
BTW--service through Qwest

Tested mine this AM and got:
Download--9.32mb/s
Upload--0.96mb/s
ping--43ms

I have Baja Cable not sure what speed I am paying for but I think its the fastest available.
It is better this early in the am also

I'm on Baja, too, but I need a Static IP for work and the speed is pretty slow!

Download: .42 mb/s
Upload .11 mb/s
ping 66ms

Comcast (tested over wireless N on my laptop)
Down: 11.0
Up: 1.53
Ping: 25ms

For me short latency is even more important than download. I'm often logged onto a system in my office and latency makes typing suck.

Tested mine this AM and got:
Download--1.07 mb/s
Upload--0.24 mb/s
ping--45 ms

Hmmm, not so hot... Xpress web in Kanab, via Microwave beam up on the hill and home wireless network, 40$ a month.

Hmmm, I wonder what my alternatives are?

Download--13.22 Mb/s
Upload--0.87 Mb/s
ping--17 ms

That's over Ethernet. My laptop is getting 11.05 Mb/s download, wireless G with the router a couple of rooms away.

I pay (too much) for 10-15 Mb/s, and "up to" 1.0 Mb/s upload.

UP - 27.89 Mbs
DN - 16.66 Mbs

Ok, I cheated a little. This is actually what I get at work (USU). Here's what I get at home:

UP - 7.60 Mbs
DN - 3.61 Mbs

Those in the right order? Higher upload than download?

Oops, my bad. You're right, they should be reversed.

[mtthwlw]

Download--2.98mb
upload--.49 mb

Baja Broadband, I have the cheapest option they offer. I think I spend $30 a month.

[Deathcricket]

Down - 9.23
Up - .97
Ping - 38ms

Baja in Santa Clara/Saint George. $50 a month after taxes, charges, and misc.

I'm totally happy with mine. It gets me the gay porn at the speed of light.

[Cirrus2000]

OK, so I'm not too far out there, price-wise. My 13 down/.87 up/17ms is just a few cents over $50, all in (Canadian - which is almost at par again. Woo-hoo!)

[Sombeech]

Here at work:
35.35MB on the download
14.62MB on the upload
ping is 21ms

At home it's much slower, depending on what machine i use.

[accadacca]

At work:
37.43 download
3.41 upload
ping 55

Could you explain this in laymans terms?

[DiscGo]

12.5 mb download
4.5 mb download

Not bad for comcast.

That's the "ping" number. How fast it takes a message to get from your computer to the server and back again. A low ping number (in milliseconds) is short latency. Not how wide the pipe is, but how short a run. If ststephen is logged in to a remote server, every time he types a letter, it goes up the pipe and back down, then shows the letter on the screen. If the latency is high, everything lags.
