Could you list where you got those tests? I want to try the first one.

And people should put their ISP too.

Ok, go to www.dslreports.com and test there, they also have 180 links to other test places if you register. Otherwise, you just get two of them.

Third one is http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ don't remember what the second one was though

//edit//
I have cox high-speed internet.

Yeah I am on the network for UC Santa Barbara, plus it is the summer and most of campus is empty (not many people using it)

When I speed tested the first time I thought it was a mistake so I did it again and I got the same results. At that point I felt that I had to save a screen shot just to prove how amazingly fast it is here.

Use the Print Screen button, between F12 and Scroll Lock. This copies your desktop (everything you see) to the clipboard, so you can paste it to whatever program to save it. You can also alt-printscreen to capture just the window.

Kinda odd I see this thread because often S-M is *very* slow or unreachable. Sometimes it is slow or even unreachable for a couple of minutes, sometimes it is like that for hours. Time of day does not seem to affect it. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing this?

The same time this happens @ S-M I go to other web-sites and never have as much as a hickup.

Kb/s is kilobits per second then? The distinctions are hard to keep track of, if they're even defined...

Hmm...

Florida to Texas, about 1.8 Mbps (tested floated from 1.7 to 1.9)

Florida to Netherlands, about 1 Mbps.

Florida to University of Oslo in Norway, about 190KB/sec or 1500 Kb/s (ftp of ISO, average rate of several-- over two GB worth).

Florida to Florida, about 1.4 Mb/s (um, that is because from me 200+ a tib miles south of Tampa Bay, the network sends me through Atlanta and then Washington DC-- ISP oops) to 1.7 Mb/s (testing on a railroad speedbench site(rr)gets me a different routing rntirely).

One sec, a decent "master list" of free speedtest sites is here:

http://home.cfl.rr.com/eaa/Bandwidth.htm

Scroll down a screen worth, about 30 test sites from all over, about 85% working URLs.

This is almost my theoretical maximum of 2Mbps. This is 1922.4Mbps. This has my connection running at 96.12% efficiency. I don't think I'm going to get much faster than this until I move to a line that offers more theoretical bandwidth.

My net connection has royally sucked recently; web-pages wouldn't load or would have to be requested 2 or 3 times (or more) and just a bunch of crap.

The last 3 days or so I've noticed my connection getting faster. It still had some of the issues of needing to request pages multiple times, but once a download started it generally was pretty quick . . . sometimes over 300KBps. I thought this to be Firebird going nutty so I ignored it. Well, todays I downloaded something @ 397KBps and I figured it was time for a speed test.

(Oh, btw . . . all the other issues seem to be gone too. Took RoadRunner 2 weeks to iron things out, but finally things are back to normal, except for my added bandwidth!)

I'm showing similar speeds. It seems RR is in the process of upgrading all networks to 3Mbps/384kbs speeds. This includes all earthlink customers too.

EL runs over RR's lines, so anybody who resells RR will also have the speed increase. I wish they would bump the upload speed to at least 512 though.

I'm not even gonna bother. SBC had me on a 1500/128 connection for a week, and then it got so unstable they turned it down to 768/128, and for some reason they arbitrarily turned it down to 384 a few weeks ago. I called them up and threw a huge temper tantrum and made them turn it back up to 768, but it's still damn slow. I get 80k/s downloads, so it's running about 80kbit/s. Which is too damn slow.

Not easily. The house was never wired for cable by the previous owner, which means that we would have to have them run it into the house from the street.

Geeky: I just recently had the cable co run cable where the was none before. They had to run it from across the street. Took the guy about a 1.5 hours or so to run the cable and get everything setup. All I had to do was have the check ready for the setup fee. I didn't have to pay for the extra stuff like running the cable to a location that never had cable before or anything.

$40 or $45 I think. I never pay attention because RR isn't the only thing on the cable bill.
