I'm at my Grandparent's house, and here's what they have.



Not that great, if you ask me.

Not great? Are you nuts? :blink:  That's much better than I have!

This is my current wireless speed while downloading about 200gb worth of torrents:



It really hurts my speed when I'm downloading torrents.  I've tried a million things to fix the problem, but I don't think it's on my end.  Stupid Comcast.  

And Petrie I know you posted a long time ago and things might have changed but, Comcast sucks but if you can get it you should.  $42/month is a lot to pay for such horrible speeds and only 15 channels.  With Comcast you could probably get around 60 channels and 4Mbps for $39.99.  Not to mention I'm sure your bandwidth is limited to like 1GB per month or some other ridiculous cap. :rolleyes:

And Pokeplayer - your connection isn't that great because of your upload speed.  You can tell I have a much better connection type by the fact that my ping is 14ms and my download/upload ratio is much better.  That's why my connection scores an A- while your grandparent's is a solid B.  Of course, I pay a lot more than your grandparents do so their connection isn't that bad for what they're paying.

Nothing changed since my last test. Did I mention that I hate my connection?

We pay for 2.00 Mb/s, but we only get 1.50 Mb/s.

This is my parent's house, and I'm on the wireless connection.  I'll do my own apartment later tonight with a wired connection.  My parents have the better package than me, so this ought to be faster.

As for Comcast...no go.  Time Warner has a monopoly on the area.  There is absolutely nothing else available where I live.

I've looked at different internet connections a while back and they usually never went above 10 Mb/s. The ones that did, if there were any, were pretty expensive.

This is the result at my apartment...I've a wired connection here.  I'm more than happy with this for $37 a month.

I'm now at my Grandma's House in Boise on her Windows XP Dell.

 

These are the only two servers in the area.  Well, not much I can say about this one. -_-

Most clients at hotels use it for email and contact stuff, not streaming films so I wouldn't expect a hotel to provide a killer connection.

For those who seem to gripe about 5 mbps download speeds and 500kbps upload speeds, realize not everyone lives in an area with more than one provider, if they can even get good service at all.

Strange, I can download videos, etc. very fast. :huh:  What's upload? When I upload something to a website? If so, that's very fast too.

What's ping?

It got the city wrong. I don't live in Carmel, Indiana. :blink: Must my computer IP, with my old one, it said I lived in Fort Wayne. :rolleyes:

Not too bad, although it seems a bit slower at times, at least it's better than what I had with AT&T

Here's mine:

My internet connection is really unreliable. I can barely play online games now, because I keep on losing connection. My computer is barely a year old.

My connection was acting up over the last few days.  It finally started working well again, and here are the results.



Still, I expect it to go bad on me again soon.  Considering everything at least. -_-

Did another test just now.



Slightly better tonight, but I can't say much else. -_-
