BongoBob Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 a.k.a how big is your e-penis? Mines pretty big
edlib Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I have linksys.....****. Well, my download speed shot up to about 12000 kb/s now that it's later. I guess that's at least part of the problem. Yeah, I'm on Comcast too (and Linksys also...) I always do better on these tests after everyone has: A.) Gone to bed (after midnight) B.) Gone to work (after 9 a.m. on a weekday) I've learned to keep my heaviest downloading (big, ol' Windows updates; game demos) limited to those times. Still, compared to what most people are using, scores in the 8,000 - 9,000 kb/s range are really nothing to sneeze at.
abespam Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Damn 256kbp upload cap. Aust. broadband is so poor compared to most other developed countries

MarcusLeCoy Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Yay for my work connection! Holy man nipple! What kind of a beast is your computer?!!
edlib Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 iMac. Seriously. I kid you not. And not even an Intel one... one of the 2 generation ago G4 ones, with the big dome base and the flat screen mounted on a silver boom arm. And it's not even the big screen, either!!! Although we do have a number of PC laptops (5 at this count.) 2 out by the mixing board for real-time-analysis and remote-board-control (one with an Internet connection,) our system EQ control tablet, an office machine, and a spare (that might eventually get made as a wireless control for the mixing board,) the entire rest of the college is almost exclusively Mac-based. Not that we could ever get away with much in the way of gaming, anyway... or even take adavantage of the connection for personal downloads. Oh,.. by the way, I work at the concert hall at a college in Boston with a shared T1 (or is it a T3 by now...) line. It's a screamer... when nobody is around. During the period between semesters when the dorms are empty it's fast Fast FAST!!!! During the height of the semester, though, it can be another story completely.
Char Ell Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Not too shabby. My ISP tells me I should get up to 6 Mbps download and up to 512 Kbps upload. (italics added for emphasis )
Alegis Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Which I consider ok, except for the crappy 10gb limit Strange though, only get like 350kb/s max for downloads
toms Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Weird. My broadband is now back to about full speed, but when i rand the test again I still got almost the exact same result. But yesterday it was taking about 30 seconds to load a page.. now its instantaneous.
Negative Sun Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Yahoo, got new wireless broadband, still not as impressive as most of you, but a lot better than what I used to have... Far away from me: Close to me: Got a 2Gb download cap though, but at least it's faster lol
BongoBob Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Well, my mom just informed me of something I was pretty sure of already. Cox upgraded their speeds, and now we get this for the same price as before:
BongoBob Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Are you downloading a torrent or something?
edlib Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Most cable ISPs limit upload bandwidth to 300 kb/s or less.
BongoBob Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Not mine Unfortunatly, during the day, my download speeds go down to anywhere from 6-8 megs.
Negative Sun Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Not mine Unfortunatly, during the day, my download speeds go down to anywhere from 6-8 megs. Oh no!!!
BongoBob Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Oh no!!! I know. I just can't figure out how I'll ever manage Also, from 56k to 10mb in a year
MrWally Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Man, I'm happy with my 2 MB download speeds. I think I'd be afraid to download something with your's, bongo.
BongoBob Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Be afraid. Be very afraid This is what I get during the day: Still damn good
Char Ell Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Well, my mom just informed me of something I was pretty sure of already. Cox upgraded their speeds, and now we get this for the same price as before: Aren't you in Las Vegas, BongoBob? I just got a notice from Cox Communications last week saying they were going to charge me $5 more per month for my hi-speed Internet service. So yeah, they upgraded us here in the Phoenix area but then decided to start charging more.
