Heh, mine is ~7 Mbps! :D I'm really surprised it's that fast. Maybe because all the non-nerds are out on a Friday night.

Hey, what's your upload speed? I get about 5-6MBit down, but freakin' 90 Kbit upload DAMN MY APT. COMPLEX!!!!!!!! I bet they're running a TopSite of some sort with all that bandwidth. T3 and you max everyone to 10KB/s upload?

Btw, just did the speed test and got 4Mbit on the dot. :D So I guess some peeps are using some downloading right now. But not bad for "free"....or included in $500/mo. rent.

39.5 kilobits per second

Discuss in the forum
Details

Your raw speed was 39544.31 bits per second which is the same as:

Communications

39.5 kilobits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet

Storage

4.8 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how file sharing and FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.

1MB file upload

3.5 minutes
The time it would take you to upload a 1 megabyte file at this speed.

That's odd. Is it because of latency? I thought wireless has a theoretical top speed of like 11Mbps? So that shouldn't affect, you. Or am I flawed in thinking so?

im at university of nevada, reno right now and they cap us all at 192kbps up and down.
no lan servers, no connecting to any type of server at all.

that really sucks ass because i can't even play counterstrike without getting 400+ ping.

Yeah, well you are getting 2x me :) But atleast I ping decently, I guess.

However, this whole upload thing, and not being able to connect to use DirectConnect, or host an FTP site is possably going to drive me to getting Cable along with it.

Back at my old college I used to connect to a server on the sweet spot of the network via an SSH tunnel to bore through the packeteer and blaze at full speed at 7am when all the people with real lives were sleeping.

I loved my job at the Office of Information Technology. :cool:

(This was AFTER sleeping. I got up early just to get good bandwidth.)

That test is only showing 870k, but I'm behind a hefty home network that's being shared at the moment.

back when i was in college (and we walked uphill both ways to class) there was no such thing as broadband, hardly even narrow band for that matter. i think a 1200 baud modem was hot. you kids have it so good ... !
