    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.

    1.9 down
    300 up

    can someone tell me how to take a screen capture?

    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.
