Title: Internet Speed
Post by: philw on February 17, 2010, 03:12:18 AM: over here we hear quite a bit about how good your internet connections are

thought lets test this http://www.speedtest.net

I have an ADSL 2 plan however due to living 7km from the exchange i don't get the best speeds could be worse though

also where we cop it a lot I am paying $69.95 for my connection that includes 50gb of data per month if I go over that then I get shaped to dial up speeds ( happens every now and then )

That is terrible, Path. I bet the string between your place and your ISP is getting frayed.... :-[

Three miles from the host is nothing. The data cap is insane, it ridiculous. In the Land of the Free, I've never seen a data or time cap for ten or fifteen years since dial up, we've got unlimited internet usage. I'm paying 40 bucks, for a 7 down, 1.5 up. I've got, at home, a 24/7 server box that constantly runs; file version control (SVN on https), a FTP server, Teamspeak, and various internet game servers. I transfer OUT data constantly, I couldn't even begin to think how much that server box takes in.

Unless your using fiber I don't think your reading the numbers, or conversions, right. Seven up's a whole lot...maybe seven kilo bits. ;)

Now that you have seen that, I will let you know I am using a Satelite connection since we live off grid in the sticks. For me it is this or nothing, but it works pretty good.

For now, Qwest's DSL - in town. Service has been noticeably slow the last few weeks. I will call tomorrow and see what's up, but I am supposed to swap out on Friday to local cable - better service and 1/3 less money.

Three miles from the host is nothing.

it can actuly ( well over here ) due to the old phone lines we have

On the graph, the blue and green shaded areas show the theoretical maximum speeds you can obtain on Internode Extreme ADSL2+ services, at various distances from your local telephone exchange using either an ADSL1 or ADSL2+ broadband modem

Post by: Pathfinder on February 18, 2010, 02:18:22 PM: Just got done checking with Qwest, and the speed all of a sudden jumped. Here are the results of their test, and my new speed test:

Last Result:
Download Speed: 1.331 Mbps (0.2 MB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 0.72 Mbps (0.1 MB/sec transfer rate)
The closest server located in Minneapolis, MN performed this test with a latency of 65 milliseconds.
Test Date: Thursday, February 18, 2010 2:08:47 PM
