Just tested my broadband.. Is this good?

[Eli]

Um.. yes.

And 256kbps upload is standard for Cable, here in the states at least.

 

[Twista]

do you think? Wth thats fast!

 

[Murphyrulez]

I just tested my Comcast cable connection at the same site and got 2986 and 242... Virtually the same speeds you got.

Our line is rated at 3megabits down and 256 up, so it's pretty close to peak...

But I have cable!!!

🙁

1) Where should I be at?
2) I've used Dr. TCP What else can I use?

It's fine... spec is 3000/256 for comcast

My best yet, broke 3mb barrier I check it from time to time, but it is all about usability, does it do what you need it to do? like any other benchmark, dont sweat the numbers, look at real world performance.

My download speed is only a little better, and I too have comcast. (Via DSL reports) I have downloaded from servers at near 400k

now the upload isn't that great, but it's not horrible...most cable upload is either 384 or 512...

also, it looks like you're probably capped at 3mbit, so no software is going to make it go faster, unless you want to do it illegally by hacking your cable modem.

eh, i work for the cable company here and our upload is capped at 128, you can get it up to 384 but they charge way too much for it. really wish they would up it for our users

 

[Amorphus]

Why do you think that's slow? Your upload and download are twice the speed of mine. You're getting advertised speeds.

So suck it up. 😛

Ruh Roh! :Q 😛

1) Depends on what the average for your area is. What were your quoted line numbers from the cableco?
2) Check the physical line quality of the cable. Self or professional install?

I kill to get anything besides Charter Comm. cable.

 

[DrPizza]

Wooohooo! 3172kbps and I was quoted 3000. I'm exceding what I'm supposed to be able to get 😀

proof: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtests/3172635;175824;c3faaa30a65aae418fcc29d0a4013109;2.0;www.dslreports.com/1073801614

My upload sucks though! 175, 256 quoted.

edit: 3172kbps, not mbps... though I wish!

 

[JBT]

u think thats bad? u are getting twice as much as I am for both upload and download... Verizon sucks... boo nah 1.5mit down is okay. I DO wish I had faster than 128 up though its kinda a pain for FTP and stuff.
