What's your Internet Speed?

[VulcanSoulPatch]

Ahh... what I wouldn't give to be in University now... back when I was going, the Univ. was still on the VAX/VMS system and you had to supply your own dialup in the dorms. The only network in the dorms was the jury-rigged hardwired one hidden above the drop ceiling.

Those were the days...

My 10Mbs service...

 

[justyya]

Here's mine... Didn't expect that my download can be so big... But torrents always downloading ~700Kbs....


Have any suggestion, to speed up download?

 

[VulcanSoulPatch]

Odd... from what you say, your download is acting a power of 10 off, as 700KB/s = ~5.6Mb/s.

What type of service is Nacionalinis? Cable?

 

[xarden]

Odd. Faster upload speed than download...

Hello xarden, welcome to Seven Forums!

I got Cable Modem on my table...

Speed from Lithuania to London looks great but it isn't good speed...


I'm confused :S

4 Mbps-in Lithuania:   3 Mbps-international

Is wroted in my Network Provider agreement

 

[VulcanSoulPatch]

I'm confused, too. Are you sure that your ISP is quoting Mb/s, or MB/s?

If they are quoting you 3MB/s, then your SpeedTest to London is pretty accurate, since 29.02Mb/s = ~3.6MB/s (all you have to do is divide by 8 to convert from Mb/s to MB/s, the latter being what our brains are actually expecting... mine, at least ). Your inside Lithuania SpeedTest you posted earlier is ~7MB/s.

If they are quoting you Mb/s, then you would be maxing at 500KB/s down local and 375KB/s down Int'l, which makes no sense for cable, at least not that I have heard of.

To be honest, I have never had a cable ISP, but I have heard there can be large changes in actual speed depending on neighborhood usage, but I haven't heard it going that far over the ceiling before. Next time you are torrenting, you should run SpeedTest and see what number it kicks back.

Remember, though, torrenting depends a lot on the number of seeds and whether or not they are restricting their upload bandwidth, so I don't think that is a good measure of actual download speed. Better to find a site that consistently allows you to download at high speeds. I dl'd Adobe Reader the other day and it was finished before I had the chance to check on the download (I have FiOS 15/5 Mbps), so that might be a good site to try. Of course, larger files will give you better results. If anybody knows of one, please chime in.

Look out turtle I gaining speed on you.

 

[thesuperstar]

Im suppose to be at 35/35, but Verizon FIOS is not compatible with Windows 7. On my VISTA, I get 33/35mb/s.

 

[usta]

Not bad here. Quite happy actually.

 

[randymarsh09]

Not to bad...

Where'd you hear that?

I have Win7 and FiOS 15/5, and I am pulling down Steam games at my max of 1.8MB/s, so...

This is in the same country as me, Norway.



This is all the way down in New Zealand.

I'm happy with it

Call me a leecher



It's pretty hard to be a member of most torrent trackers for me - when I download file in 1 hour I have to seed it for 72 hours or more to keep ratio 1:1...

Blah!

(at nights my connection becomes 72 mbit/0,5 mbit...)

 

[Chromana]

Wow loads of the speeds are so impressive, I didn't know you were able to get 80 Mb/s!

 

[y0himba]

At the hospital with my wife for her radiation treatment, on my Netbook. Free wireless.

 

[mitchell65]

Not bad here. Quite happy actually.

I'm sure your are, I want that speed! Ironically I live 20 meters from the underground fibre optic cables that come into the UK from The US. One carries a 100mb pipe but I can't find a big enough crocodile clip to take a cable off

 

[qwertydude1]

just a 2.5MB/s hehe.. [down]
