Solved What is my Internet speed?

[inouno]

Hi,
how can I find out what my internet speed is?

I want to add to my "system specs" , on my profile.
I would also like to know details of my "Motherboard" (same reason)

I have learnt a lot through this Forum. It works for me.

Thank you.

dslreports.com or speedtest.com will tell you your upload and download speeds.

System Information for windows (SIW) is good for both hardware and software info. Download SIW 1.63 then just run it, no install needed.

..thank you,
I opened that link and ran test.

It said; ping 12ms
download 19.2Mbps
upload 0.49Mbps

Is that OK ?

 

[Ztruker]

Depends, what are you paying for?

I get 13mS / 23.27Mbps / 2.05Mbps

I'm paying for Road Runner Lightening which should give me 20Mbps so I'm happy with my numbers.

I don't know what I'm paying for. I pay 60 bucks per month for Broadband cable, through Optus. What I don't know, even alarms me !

Contact them and ask what your speed should be.

to ztruker:

and 520kb )

I did their test and got..

Yeah..done that.
And by the way, try as I might, I just don't seem to be able to upload a screenshot that appears the same way as you guys do it.

Are you first saving the screenshot to your desktop ? Or where ever.

Hello stranger...you were my 1st reply when I first started on this Forum.
What I do, is:
press Prt Scr button
then open paint
click paste button
then save as button
then scroll to save as jpeg
then, to a desktop shortcut of a file called "workfile"
then , on my post/ message I am sending, i click on the little paperclip thing..
then , I post it.

Oh, the simplest tasks are the hardest for me. I would much rather discuss Quantum Physics or String Theory than to have to navigate through the banality of a mindless machine that has no sound logic or reason.
Albeit computer programers have a childlike "try this..try this ..try this.." type of thinking, it is not really the answer to ...ahh , anything.

The numbers look about right for what they say you should get.

inouno,
You should start using the snip tool in accessories and pin it to the task bar. Create a folder called snips and you are on your way it's killer easy and allows cropping.

Yep, thanks for that. I will experiment with it.
Also, regarding your Mark Twain "quote"
Too true. Memory works on a happening. If it didn't happen, then there cannot be a memory. Also, memory is held in an empty space, between real compartments of the brain. It is not understood because, it has no physical "home" in the brain.
There is a thing called "false memory" , but that's another story.

Boy, you've got that right!!

In my brain the "false memory" is in a section called "fail memory" it automatically dumps it's cache daily !
