How fast can you download stuff?

**Momiji** · 11-28-2009, 06:45 PM

Just 'cause everyone else was doing it and I wanted to fit in

I think I win at having the worst internet ever (at home)
At university it is awesomely fast

My god, .26 mb?

Well, mine is...

I usually have about 600kbps while downloading something.

Since everyone's doing it...

Yeah, this. I have a basic cable connection and it goes fairly fast.

Will post speed test once I get back to my home computer.

It's pretty damned fast, yes. It was faster at one point but I downgraded the package for moneys.

(found server closer to me, and yay for having the best commercial ISP download so far

)

EDIT: What I have learned today: University ISP's make Commercial ISP's their bitches.

my crappy monopoly-having ISP caps speeds unless you pay way too much money. The result is crap like this:

I guess I should be happy I have internet at all in this frozen wasteland.

Pft, mine is much better than yours. Your download speed is only slightly faster but my upload is so much better.

I win overall.

***Loony BoB*** · 11-29-2009, 10:49 AM

That would be why I said best commercial download so far, silly.

**NorthernChaosGod** · 11-29-2009, 10:50 AM

Shut up. >

**Aerith's Knight** · 11-29-2009, 01:06 PM

And non-commercially I beat you in spades.

**Endless** · 11-29-2009, 04:49 PM

From home:

It's actually pretty slow, because I'm quite far from the NRA

I'll try to get it from work soon too.

The most I ever got out of my uni was about 8 Mbps, I think. I'll check it from the computer lab sometime xD
