Patrick Posted April 25, 2009 So I checked out everyone's favorite internet speed test and decided to start a thread. Take the test. Then post your results: Home (Comcast Cable) Upload - 1.02 Download - 3.5 Work (CenterPartners) Upload - 8.01 Download - 13 School (Front Range Internet) Upload - 8.5 Download - 18.30 (also known as Patrick versus Comcast part 4) 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted April 25, 2009 Upload - 2.96 Download - 29.45 Yeah, I have insane download speeds. That's one good thing I can say about Comcast. 0 Share this post Link to post
pavera Posted April 25, 2009 Home, Comcast Cable: Download (Best) - 22.97 Mb/s Upload (Best) - 2.252 Mb/s Download (Average) - 19.55 Mb/s Upload (Average) - 2.09 Mb/s Not too shabby I don't think.. Tested in a few different servers (including Kuwait City which gave me 3.89 Mb/s). I'm actually really shocked at how well it did, considering how unstable my internet was for the entire last year. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted April 26, 2009 Good ISP. Good router. Good computer. Shitty 7 mile long 'phone line courtesy of BT and a stupid decision they made as to which exchange to connect our village to. Download 0.39 Mb/s Upload 0.08 Mb/s And that's when it is working. :( 0 Share this post Link to post

Kirby Posted April 26, 2009 RCN Corporation (Home) Download - 5.14mb Upload - 0.75mb Download seems fine to, and the upload doesn't relly surprise me. In fact it explains why it takes me two freakin hours to upload any rather large files to hosting sites when I need to :P 0 Share this post Link to post

DeumReaper Posted April 26, 2009 My apt. ~50 mi. from McAllen, TX Server (ISP:Road Runner) Download: 2.49 Mb/s Upload: 0.37 Mb/s Seems like my internet is less than half the average of ISP. 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted April 26, 2009 so i was at home and was all like wow this is fast but then i went to school and was like woah 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted April 26, 2009 Home (Comcast): Download: 20.2 Upload: 0.6 (lol) Work: Download: 79.7 Upload: 10.2 Hence, I like downloading things at work :^) Fastest I've ever seen it go was between 8MB/sec and 9MB/sec (not Mb). 0 Share this post Link to post
Jello Posted April 26, 2009 Home, 9.47 download, .49 upload. Better than I expected, considering from most sites I can only download at a max of 400kbps. I suppose that has more to do with their servers though, since if I'm downloading anything from Microsoft or Valve I can usually get between 800 and 1.2 megabytes. I still can't fathom how I survived with a 56k modem for all those years. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mithral_Demon Posted April 26, 2009 From my place and 250 mi away... But my net isn't very stable, only online gaming for 3-10 mins at most before a disconnection. Meaning I can't have my favorite games running. 0 Share this post Link to post

EarthQuake Posted April 26, 2009 Lawl, shitty. I can stream standard definition video with no lag, so I'm happy with it. 0 Share this post Link to post
YMB Posted April 26, 2009 Edit: 3.4/5, that seems harsh on Verizon. They're like the only major ISP that doesn't suck right now 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted April 26, 2009 An unexpectedly high ping and very ordinary transfer rates. I'm hoping to do a lot better if/when the National Broadband Network gets up and running. 0 Share this post Link to post
Georgef551 Posted April 26, 2009 Verizon 3MB DSL: Download: Claim is 3MBs, actual is ususally 2.6MBs. (Not bad!) Upload: Claim is about 1MBs, actual is about .85 (not bad, but YouTube uploading kinda' sucks. :)) 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted April 26, 2009 Home (Otenet ADSL, nominal speeds 8Mbps/384Kbps) Upload (average) - 0.32 Mbps Download (average) - 3 Mbps Only the upload speed was constant throughout several servers, download could vary between 2.5 and 3.5 Mbps. Also ping was never < 100ms in any of the servers I tried, no matter how close. I'm glad to say that this is one case where the tests are worse than practice however: I've actually obtained http and cumulative torrent download speeds well in excess of 3 Mbps, closing 800 KB/sec actual speed (6.4 Mbps) and I indeed always get the stated upload speed. Pings when playing BF1942 are also not that bad (I've gone as low as 50 ms, although the game is playable up to 150 or so). 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraboy94 Posted April 26, 2009 ...download sucks, upload sucks even more. odd, really. our isp said theyd be upgrading all 2MB speeds up to 10MB speeds for free this month... 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMAD Posted April 26, 2009 Not bad for a 2mb connection, though I should probably switch to a cheaper ISP one of these days. 0 Share this post Link to post
