Thread: How fast is your internet connection?

    Default How fast is your internet connection?

    Well?

    NB: Please remember that a kb (kilobit) is not a kB (kilobyte).

    NB: 1 M = 1000 k

    NB: If you have absolutely no idea, go here: Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test (Special thanks to ZeZipster for the link)

    Meh, I actually just got a free upgrade from my ISP. 16Mb/s now. I watch streaming HD videos as long as they're compressed in DivX 6.

    it will never be fast enough, even when it's instant, the fact that i at one point didn't have something will still irk me.

    also, you have some blistering speeds up there...the fastest i DL from torrents or limewire is like 100kbps, and from ftp/direct downloads around 175.

    I've had 700 with my 6ker line. You just need a good download manager that allows splitting. The fastest you can get in these parts is 50Mb/s. But I guess there are faster lines in other regions of the world, thus the 100+ option.

    I've used a handful and they've all yielded similar results for me.

    Mine ranged from 3k to 12k being all around my home, while the correct answer is 17k.*shrug* The upload's correct though.

    It's a good reference though. I don't know any better ones.

    I think I'm around 2mb/s. I get around 240-260kb/s downloading from usenet, which usually maxes out your connection.

    I've done a few tests, and I've gotten anywhere from 7 to 12 MBs.

    EDIT: Yeah I probably should've edited this in earlier.
