I think I set the record for slowest broadband in history...

The thread title is a lie since you aren't using sprint. Whenever you try to download an email they send you a letter in the mail with the contents of the email since it will get there faster than actually trying to download it off sprint's network.

True story.

this is my house line...does sprint do non-mobile intrawebz?

No, but they advertise it as "Mobile Broadband". I'm surprised no one has been locked up over such false advertising yet.

I think a better question is...are you paying for said shitty service?

you might as well get dialup @ $10/month

$30/month...I don't even know why at this point.

OP, I take it you just live somewhere really remote and not just next to someone who is stealing your interwebz and torrenting with it 24/7

Hmm, OP, are you running a wireless router and is it locked down?..

Here it is about as fast as any of the other companies on 3G.

Yikes.

I'm on a 75 Up/Down Unlimited Bell Fibre Op connection. Usually get around 9500 kb/sec download speeds. Its actually not bad, pay $105/mth tax included with my home phone and all calling features and unlimited long distance. I don't have Cable/Satellite TV to justify the cost.

 

[BurnItDwn]

that sucks ass, but, .1mbit is still double the speed of dial up, and 261 ms latency is really trashy, but not as bad as dialup.

 

[SunnyD]

According to Ookla, there's still 2% worse than you.

 

[torpid]

Wow. I used to have dsl that was slower than my iPhone's 3g service. I thought THAT was bad...

set the record again...seriously, fuck my ISP:

 

[OverVolt]

Its packetloss.

 

[Svnla]

Me: ping = 54, down = 5.24, up = 0.44

$25 DSL naked ( no phone line service).

OP needs to do a test with a stand alone computer connects via cat5 cable directly to the modem and nothing else is attached to or running.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'm very close to the CO... actually, I'm *inside* it. :biggrin:

The DSLAM racks are literally like 20 feet from me.

And it's still a C lol

 

[Raduque]

I like my speed. <3 grandecom.

 

[Anonemous]

Yea monopolies suck. Non FIOS places in LA have AT&T and TWC. Can't get Uverse?

 

[dust]

set the record again...seriously, fuck my ISP:

It's faster than 11% of US, a big improvement from the previous 2%.
You should be proud!

 

[BoomerD]

Gawd I miss Comcast internet...

That's considerably better than the OP's results...but still not quite 1/3 of what I got with Comcast.

 

[Anonemous]

Sprint works ok about DSL speeds.

Awesome :thumbsup:

Americans deserve and like to to pay the most for the least amount of service and speed as evidenced by OP.

Have you called them? Something's broken. They'll fix it!

Try connecting to your cable modem and see if it gives you any clues to the issue. Try http://192.168.100.1/ -- that'll get you to the admin screen of a number of cable modems. There should be a link for Signal, and you'll see the Signal-to-Noise ratio. Mine's about 37dB, for example.
