So you think you're fast?

Never noticed that my upload speed was so damn horrendous.
Hope I can get this sorted out, since I'm paying for a lot more.

From the fact that Fraggle's ISP says "Google," I'm guessing he has some form of Google Fiber.

I'm guessing Fraggle's sleeping under his desk and wearing an electric shock collar that confines him to the office.

Not too bad. From experience it's good enough to play online games with, the few times I bother.



Suffers with distance, though. Apparently my connection with Australia consists of two cups and a length of string.

Bump!

Decided to upgrade my plan last month, double the speed and 66% more Gigs per month for $10 sounded like a deal too good to pass up.



Unfortunately, while the Basslink cable is out of action my connection to most of the world looks more like this. . .



My ISP's negotiating to secure access to a rival's cable network later this week, a deal which hopefully won't result in one of my gonads finding its way onto the Chinese body parts market. The alternatives are maybe two months of slow downloads, or switching to the rival ISP.

That upload speed is a lie. I get 1 Mbps at best upload.
The ping is only low because one of the speedtest servers was like a 45-minute drive from where I am.

PING 32 ms
Download Speed 17.84 Mps
Upload Speed 1.76 Mbps

This was made towards the server closest to my connection on a time of the day where few people are expected to be connected to my network provider.

So I just moved into a new apartment and am using my roommate's Xfinity which he brought over from his old apartment.



The results have been different every time I run the test, which means I may have some digging to do and see if something is clogging my upload/download speeds.

Not even close. I tried Fremont thinking it would be faster, but I only got 4.14MB/s.

This one's a bit different. The upload took about a minute to actually start, showed 0.02mbps, then hung for about 10 minutes and never actually finished :P


p.s. it took about a minute to upload the image, which is like 300kb ._.
