    Default How fast is your personal intarnets (i.e. non-work/school)?

    I'm curious to see how fast everyone's internet service is at home (Download speed). I'm not including what people get at work or school because that would skew the results. Also, if you surf from your dorm room or other on university/campus apartment/dwelling, then you surf at school as it's provided by the school.

    I like my intarnets so I pay for up to 5 mbps down.

    EDIT: <a href="http://performance.toast.net/">Here's a performance test to get an idea of how fast your internet is.</a> My results range from 3-4 mbps (3000 - 4000 kb).

    That's your network speed, not your internet speed.

    That's the speed from your computer to your modem. Bantam is asking for the speed between your internet service provider and your modem, which is usually much lower.

    I added a performance test to my first post if you want to see how fast your internet (download speed) is.

    None of thos options work for me. My internet goes so fast that it loads up pages and other applications the moment I think about them. I have this cool mind link software the I stole got a a garage sale on one of my many trips to the future. In fact, I am not even typing right now, I am thinking of these words and they appear for me. I wonder if I left the oven on I better feed the cats and it does a pretty good job only putting thoughts of mine here that I only want to go shopping today? I need to clear my credit card debt first! I need scissors! 61!
