Thats my speed at work. The whole network has been getting worse and worse and the IT guys don't know why.

Took me almost 10 minutes to post this.

How ironic that the results are directly under that "Fat Pipe" ad. :p

The inernet's been slow for me today as well, both at work and at home. :confused: Hopefully there's not some DDOS attack against the DNS servers again. God I hate idiots that try to destroy the internet backbone.

Check out my internet speed. The top download actually started at about 108mb/s, but by the time I could wrap my head around what was happening, it had dropped to a little under 60. The whole thing took about 18 seconds to download, and it had not been cached or anything either, that was my first time ever downloading it.

Problem seems to be fixed.
Fixed Speed

Around 5:30pm yesterday the IT guys just pulled every cable on the routers/switches/etc and reconnected them and the problem was fixed.... :Q

But they still don't really know why it happened.

i get around 1.5Mbps at home. we're upgrading to 5Mbps soon. ADSL is fast, but has high latency which is annoying.
