holy fast internet batman!

[anti_flag_army]

So i have comcast internet with "power boost" what ever, and for unknown reasons to me, i was using my old modem for the internet at my new place, when they gave us a new one. (old service was under my name, my girl got the service in her name to get a promo deal)

So anyway, it was time to give back the old one, and hook up the new one. I did a speed test just to see what i would get and:


Holy crap! My old modem got me just over 4000kbps, and horrible upload.

SO i had to DL something to see, and went for a movie, which would normally take around 8-10 hours to get, and it just finished in about 10 mins! It was a 800 meg movie, and i was DL'ing at 1MBps!


Im just excited at the speed difference and had to share.

I've heard great things about comcast. Congrats.

Cox is mostly quick, but damn, it seems to be down all the time.

[ADDirishboy]

YAY COX!

I mean that in a completely hetero way...

[Thamm]

Charter sucks.

[Joe]

i sit at about 25000kbps with cox.

i can download from good newsgroups at over 1.3MB per second. its pretty awesome lol

[kornmanz]

Yeah you guys can all bite me

[Driver11324]

I don't know what my school has, but its really fast:

I recently upgraded to Comcast's top-tier high speed package. I get GREAT speeds, even without power boost (which is what really matters). My upstream bandwidth increased a LOT after the upgrade. I'll have to run a speed test when I get home in the morning. Meantime, THIS is what I deal with at work:

I don't think torrents have all that much to do with your raw internet DL speeds, just depends on who is seeding. I've seen some ludicrous speeds on popular files before and I have a brick for a router.


Oh yes.

but when i downloaded movies before, no matter how many seeds, i would never break the 100kbps barrier, then i just happen to hit 1MBPS with the new modem. I think that isnt a conscience.

Hang on, doesn't comcast now limit to like 25GB a month? Be careful.

I just ran a speed test last night and found that Brighthouse upgrade my connection for free.

25Mb/2Mb

Charter started throttling my connection. I'm switching ISPs and not paying my last bill until I get an apology.

Heres my baller comcast speed.

[nametakennow]

Not too shabby.

i think i got all of you beat. Dam Rider University wireless connection in oceanography ****

[Beancooker]

Work...

[RCA]

Yea this pretty much sums up the entire state of NJ...

::sigh::

[nametakennow]

I'm sad, though, because they tell us that this is a 100mb/sec connection. 83mb is not 100mb. I think it's shared building-by-building, so I guess I shouldn't complain. They're working on 1gb/sec now, though...

Oh, and our wireless is just as fast...

[PantherRacer]

meh. interestingly enough, it went up after i re-tested. from 6704 and 363...

[D-Maxima]

WTF!! I was expecting SO much better from IBM!! I guess the server is in Sydney and Im in Perth on the other side of the country...At least, thats what I gathered from the picture thingo on the screen.

**Before you say, "Hey you work for IBM and you don't understand it?! ROFLMAYO", it's a big company and Im a Marketing Coordinator, not an IT guy**

[Red coupe]

Mine varies from pretty damn amazing, to pretty damn slow because its university apartments.

on good nights I can download over 2.5mb/s, and get like 80,000kb/s download
Tonight is not a good night :P

[GrilledCheese33]

Base service from the local cable company. not so bad...

[kornmanz]

that aint sh1t...

yeah except mine is supposed to be a DSL premium package in this technologically inept city.

Psh, no fair. You're at a level 3.

[MySXisSlowerThanUrs]

i guess im average ... ... ...Never mind

[musashin]

And this is the wireless. Twice as fast with the hardline. Not too shabby.
