Crappy Road Runner cable. No competition in my area so this is what ends up happening.

At work:

It's pretty slow--especially compared to what I get at home with is 6 or 8 or something Mbps down, but it loads NICO and fat-pie.com well enough so I'm not about to complain.

Cable at any speed is good enough for general web browsing, but I leave that stuff to old grandmas. The internet, nowadays, is much more than browsing through web pages. Either way, I'm just pissed at the lack of competition in my area because Verizon won't install fios in our area any time soon. We'll be stuck with this backwater connection for years...

thats actually not that bad at all. Not that long ago cable's BENCHMARKS used to be less than that. Also, uploads will always be slower, its the way of the asymmetrical service.

Thats during off peak morning hours. During peak it can drop as low as 1,000kbps. When I'm home I usually run somewhere around 10,000kpbs now that I made them give me a new modem.

Wow...my home connection is even faster than I thought:

Sort of sad to see the upload so low, though. I'd happily sacrifice a couple megs of download bandwidth for upload.

I love having what is virtually my own T1 at work...

I upload better at work, but my download is definately higher at home. I send files from work, and get them at home. It's a good deal, trust me

Hah, never knew my **** could push 10mbs, but damn does my upload speed SUCK.

Comcast, baby :|

upload speed isn't important, unless you share illegal files a lot.

firefox makes it so your upload speed is low, because it makes your download faster.

I wouldn't mind a higher upload speed, because through a simulated LAN called Hamachi I can share movies with other people directly from my HDD. Anywhere I have internet I can connect to my music and video folder via simple network sharing

Actually it could be. With such a low upload bandwidth, even small uploads reek havoc on the connection. Having VoIP, xbox, and a few computers connected could easily render the connection unusable.

Just look at the stats for other countries. No other country has as bad a ratio of download to upload as ours.

the computer caps the upload most of the time, not the network.

Thats the most retarded *** bull**** not true misguiding internet related statement I have ever heard on this forum no offense. Firefox is a BROWSER. It affects absolutely zero of your internet connection besides browsing. Firefox does not affect your upload speeds of anything other than http, of which very little happens directly inside Firefox. The test, its done via an external pluggin or applet, hence the transfer protocol for it is NOT being directly handled by Firefox. The behavior of this test is much like that of an external program, the browser's only influence is in how a firewall recognizes the system.

Everyone well indoctrinated in cable internet technology knows that since its inception as a consumer device, there has been an extremely lopsided Upload over download signal transfer. The reason other countries don't have this problem is they digitized their infrastructures. Our government is in the process of doing that now, but having the most massive information network on the face of the earth, and having had it as comparatively long as we've had it, its going to take some time.

MY upload speed seems to be pretty decent compared to you guys, but my down speed is teh tucks

That fast download speed is typical of cable and so is the slower upload!

At my home, I have to often upload files and work that I have done at home, so I decided to go with a synchronous DSL instead of cable. So, I get close to 760 kbits/second bidirectional from home. Work runs multiple T1's - with high burst rates, and those are bidirectional too. I'll measure speeds sometime ...

The random network I happen to be connected to right now... while on the job.

Looks like slow cable to me...

For me, faster uploads is very important. I do work from home and need to send files back and forth from my work systems. Nothing to do with sharing illegal files!

Huhn? Firefox has nothing to do with upload speeds being slow. The fast downloads but way slower uploads of cable systems is inherent in the architecture of that network. Just like in CDMA 1XRTT and 1XEVDO wireless ... (although 1XEVDO Rev. A is far more symmetrical).

Meh, I'm not complaining. I live in BFE, North Carolina. I've only had DSL for the past 8 months or so.

Post by **audtatious** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 11:12 am

Probably better during off hours, tho I'm happy with almost 1MB/s download speed. Upload is not bad either.

Post by **yelnatsch517** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 11:22 am

That's from a computer lab in my school. The dorm connection should be much much faster. I remember sending my bro a file at 600+KB/s which translates to 4800+Kb/s upload.

sucks for me as my campus network limits EVERYTHING. heck i can't even download a torrent............

Hooray for super low ping times! Sure did help when i used to play Halo 2 before i got, err, banned.

I wonder what it would come out to if I actually disabled the QoS on my router. Nah, i like being able to have emule, utorrent, a webserver, voip, and the xbox working while I surf the web without any slowdown!
