any cable users have lower bandwidth?

[XCLAN]

478 kbps down
96 kbps up

 

[kbm5]

Geez, that's pretty low. I don't know what I get uploading, but downloading is 1.5 mbps.

Usually my cable is horrible, most of the time my speed is around yours. Do you use adelphia by any chance?

 

[Farbio]

1.5 down, 128 up, course we never get that much down, we're only guaranteed 128k up, which is what we sit out quite often

1,454 kbps; 181.8 Kbps down
65 kbps; 8.1Kbps up
This is on @home in San Diego, running through an SMC barricade with 3 concurrent users. When it's just me on, I get much better up rates, and slightly better down.

 

[iamfried]

My first test I went to first
and my second one I went to myputer's link
and they gave me 1483 and 185 kb/s down and up.

 

[pulse8]

1.5 mb down / 350K up...I actually get these speeds, too.

4852.9 kilobits / sec
606.6 kilobytes / sec for my cable. That has to be wrong, there is no way! :Q

That's because the hops inbetween can be laggy at any single time, and there are different hops inbetween the two sites.

On average though I get about 9600kbits/1200kBytes downloading off of a good site like iquest.net's servers, and about 3200kbits/400kBytes on average. The LOWEST download rate I've ever gotten from any site is 800kbits/100kBytes. This is using Optimum Online in Connecticut . I've had it for over 4 years; they have 30 user nodes with 6.5 megabytes of bandwith each, they split them if they near capacity, and my node only has 2 people on it . Stop paying for cruddy bandwith and move to Connecticut for the good cable!

Anyway, speedtest claimed I had:

2390.6 kilobits / sec
298.8 kilobytes / sec
(I'm in CT along the coast, they're in CA). It said my upload was 110kBytes. The highest upload I've ever done to an FTP server is 370kBytes. The site is inaccurate not because of what it is, but because of all the hops always inbetween, geographical locations, temporary lag, and zillions of other factors. It shouldn't be used as any kind of representational item for how fast your connection is, but rather, like TV psychics (for the fools who fall for them): Entertainment.

Try a larger data set test. That way you'll get a better average.

You're going to be in for a big joyride once you get it . It's comparable to a T1/T3 line in performance and ping .

Do you have one of the &quot;US Robitics Cable Modem CMX&quot; models that are uncapped, or are you a newer subscriber that has a capped modem or has 5+ people on your node??
