Road-runner high-speed sucks? Post your internet speed here

[Lord Orwell]

well i ordered 20mbit download and 2mbit upload, which was a package the isp had, and still has but they never seem to give what they take money for. now i got something to complain about




by the way, when i download something, it seems that my upload speed is decreasing my download speed...

i tried at@t dsl once. They claimed their speeds were "on-network only" which basically meant you only got the speed they advertised if they were hosting the website you were looking at. I sent that crap back.

Did another test today.

When the NBN rolls past my place, I'll be able to get a 100/40 (100Mb/s down, 40Mb/s up) connection
They are also talking about going up to Gigabit connection speeds on the NBN.

How much do you pay for it ?

[RobDog888]

$0





Its my speeds at work so everybody is slowing it down. 300+ employees surfing the net instead of working and 1,200+ remote agents sucking up server reseources and bandwidth

ok

I'm struggling hard with my 300kbps connection.

i tested my internet connection at two different speed test site

downloads: 1.09Mbps
uploads: 0.8Mbps

downloads: 1.98Mbps
uploads: 0.5Mbps

Here's my results. That's way better than when I used Netzero dial up. This test was using wireless internet. There's no dsl offered where I live and there's no cable. You either have to go with dial up, satellite or wireless internet. My test here is pretty close to what they promise me. My post # 94 result was twice as fast for download because I was using an introductory offer at that time. Once it expired I moved down to the less expensive service with download speed only half as fast.



Look at my post # 41 result when I was on dial up a couple years back. Fast and slow are relative.

Mine is terrible, look:

Look at akileshbc's post # 89 result and be thankful. 0.13 Mb/s download, 0.05 Mb/s upload with very high ping. akileshbc are you using dial up? The grade should go beyond F for some of the results I see. Instead of A to D and F it should use the whole alphabet.

[akhileshbc]

This is my latest test result:


#EntityX: No it's not a dialup connection. It's a cable connection and they said this plan will give 300kbps (My downloading speed is near to their promising speed, isn't it ? 33.1 x 8 = 264.8kbps ). The plan charge is about 11.5$ per month. Since it is an unlimited plan and the speed is somewhat okay for my needs (as I don't download any games, movies, softwares, etc..), I'm happy with it.

I was thinking about giving a try on Nokia's Qt development platform. But when I checked the download page, the size is more than a GB.
That would take 4 or 5 days to completely download it. So, I just dropped my interest in it.

I know the feeling. I used to use Netzero "HighSpeed" dial up. I posted the test for it in this thread post #41. 0.05 Mb/s download but weirdly enough my upload speed for that test was 0.27 Mb/s which isn't that much slower than what I have now and is faster than minitech's and your upload speed. And congratulations akileshbc on moving up from your post #89 grade of F to a grade of F+.

Your connection it says is slower than 85% of India. You can be happy about the fact that your connection is faster than almost 15% of India.

Fastest Publicly available landline Internet connection in the country. There are faster connections with HSDPA, but those are expensive and have high pings.

Anyone who has both an upload and download of at least 1 Mb/s should consider using an internet phone service if they aren't already doing so. I use MagicJack which only cost me $ 20 a year to use for their phone service. My download is considerably better than my upload which is usually the way it is and if your upload is too slow then that means the people you are talking to on the phone are going to hear your voice breaking up a lot. My upload is just barely good enough so that others can hear me more or less. I would think if you had both upload and download of at least 3 Mb/s then you would have a pretty good quality phone connection. With 1.5 Mb/s download I hear a little bit of occasional break up (but it's just for a small fraction of a second so I can still make out what they are saying)so I know the people I'm talking to are getting more and I've had some tell me so but not recently. I mounted my wireless internet transceiver higher on my garage by putting up a taller mast and now the signal strength meter shows one more LED of signal strength. Since then my internet connection has been considerably better and my internet phone connections have been better.
