Just want to brag a bit...

[SureShot]

I got a new internet connection and I can now download at 420k a second and upload at over 80k a second.

I am so over joyed right now :thumb:!!!

[ahmed]

lol, Fiber Optic?

[UNFLUX]

nice! :beam:

I sure wish my isp would double everything like comcast did.

[Krilnon]

Lucky you man! I'd kill to have that upload. Now I'm stuck at 12 kbps on average. :(

[morse]

Well I just got dsl so I'm happy :thumb:

[Tuna]

My god i love my Cable connection!

[macneilslt]

i have adelphia..my download speed is great...but my upload is only like 30k/sec :( although they claim it can hit 60..i've never seen it...

[moncreyweasel]

ive got RCN, and they recently upgraded our connection speed for literally nothing(which rocks pretty hard), so download speeds are around 400kbps, i'm not sure about upload speed.

[Danii]

I've got BBB....Download 10 Mbit, Upload 1 Mbit :thumb:

[Total Biscuit]

sheeut,
I have only have dsl with super-sucking upload speed :(

[paddy.]

I don't know about all this techno cr@p. Is 576kbps fast or slow? It's DSL so it better be fast. All I know is that I can download mp3s in about a minute each.

[paddy.]

Isn't anyone going to answer me? ^^^See above.^^^

[McGiver]

be patient little fella
576kbit/s is faster than isdn (64kbit/s or 128kbit/s), but if you compare it with a 10 Mbit/s (==10000 kbit/s (anyone abled to tell me if it's 10000 or 10240 kbit/s ?)) which would be something like a T3 connection, 576kbit/s is slooooow

<- has a DSL Flatrate with 768 kbits/s and is happy with that

[Digitalosophy]

I know how happy you are since I swtiched to cable visions I can download at 2 mg/second and upload around 120kb :)

[SureShot]

Wow! That's pretty **** fast!

I just love the new download speed, I have downlaoded movies from IGN that used to go at like 130k a second at 430k a second now! It's awesome :)

$%!")&% ;P

[Kristopher]

still on a 28.8kps modem :( :( :(


SHOWER ME WITH YOUR PITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(lol)

[minimalistik]

One thing that gets to people over here is that you can get broadband for about $17 USD for unlimited downloads but they dont read the small print and there is a 200mb download limit, which would explain the low price.

[SureShot]

oh god, that would suck...

That would kill some people with just email!

[morse]

I've got BBB....Download 10 Mbit, Upload 1 Mbit :thumb:
Holy Jesus

[Coppertop]

1.5mb/s download and 600kb/s upload, however I have seen it run better when there is nothing happening on the rest of the network. (upto 2mb/s down and 900kb/s up)

not bad for cheap dsl.

[Xpeder]

still on a 28.8kps modem :( :( :(


SHOWER ME WITH YOUR PITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(lol)
I have 56k i feel your pain. :*( (insert shoulder to cry on) :*(

But I just order comcast high speed cable with 4mbs download the man will be hear on the 19th boyah!

How much are you guys paying for this?

Because my wallets going to be hurting after this.

[Krilnon]

My mom gets a 100mbit connection at her office.

[morse]

My dsl (256 k download :() is about $29/month, plus tax (brings it to $31 or so).

[Krilnon]

I think DSL companies hype their services pretty well, so lots of people sign up only to be disappointed. (If they have high content downloads, etc.)

[morse]

I don't know, I love my dsl, the :( was because I was hearing about these folks' 10 megabit connections...

[jw06]

:D just wanted to put my input in.. I just upgraded my connection to 3meg.. it was: 384k! So I'm lookin forward to see what it can do :D

[garyzero]

Ditto!!


My god i love my Cable connection!

[ContinuumXLS]

I know how happy you are since I swtiched to cable visions I can download at 2 mg/second and upload around 120kb

I have the same :)

SHOWER ME WITH YOUR PITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(lol)

I have no pitty for you.... I have a 56K but only connect at 28-32kbs because of crap phone server.

I would get ADSL in a heartbeat if they would just update the dam exchange !

[jw06]

Just did a couple tests on my new line! Download: 2227 Upload: 400 :D:D:D::D

[Krilnon]

Download for me: 2748.3

[Xpeder]

yeah i just got comcast cable Internet and can download at 3.1 megs a second I don't know what the upload is.

The installer came early I am loving this.:pleased:

[senocular]

56k and happy with it! I mean, as long as you turn footers off and the thread doesnt have a lot of images, YOU'RE GOOD! What else would you need the internet for anyway? :P

[thoriphes]

What else would you need the internet for anyway? :P
yeah, useless piece of crap

*kicks computer*

:sure:

[kirupa]

Tested out the connection in my new dorm room, and here are the results. <drumroll>

2005-09-02 23:12:11 EST: 5667 / 2884
Your download speed : 5803772 bps, or 5667 kbps.
A 708.4 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 2953735 bps, or 2884 kbps.

From this test: http://www.dslreports.com/stest?loc=97 This is weird in a good way. My old room a floor below could not get faster than maybe a fifth of the above speed.

:P

[Templarian]

lol. u beat us all.

1201 kb/sec down
419 kb/sec up
(i've used the same test kirupa used).
my brothers probably downloading something downstairs so mine isnt that accurate. ours cost like 23.99 or something like that (unlimited everything).

//edit these arn't accurate they are much faster... lol forgot i have a torrent downloading and im talking on TS.

[kdd]

oh my god, Kirupa!!!

edit:
2005-09-02 23:28:48 EST: 4058 / 506
Your download speed : 4156288 bps, or 4058 kbps.
A 507.3 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 518481 bps, or 506 kbps.

you may brag :P

edit again: a few days ago, i was checking out MIT website, and i found out that you guys get T1 in hallways and almost everywhere, which is just really cool!

this thread inspired me to search for internet conn. lines, and i found out about OC lines. OC - 192 gives 10 GBPS, and cost? uhhh, i think $400,000 + :lol: actually you have to provide a lot of personal info to them, and then they'll give you the price quote. Bill Gates can't even afford that one!

[tucker]

mines like 20 kbps on dsl. grr i want cable.

[McGiver]

2005-09-03 04:28:38 EST: 422 / 173
Your download speed : 432372 bps, or 422 kbps.
A 52.7 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 178009 bps, or 173 kbps.

...although it should be a 2Mbit download rate. I updated 1 month ago from 768 to 2000 kbit/s, but the download speed didn't increase (upload did)

I guess it's a problem with the attenuation :(

(definately no network problem on my side. I've put my laptop directly behind the modem and it didn't get any faster (Laptop has a 1gBit Network connection)

[mathew.er]

At school we got internet speed upgraded to 100 mbps and will rise while we are sitting just. Its for whole school but hey, its as fast as our local network :lol:

[minimalistik]

I got a new internet connection and I can now download at 420k a second and upload at over 80k a second.


If your on DSL or ADSL, hopefully you use a router. If you use a USB modem, it's slower than what you should really get for download.

[McGiver]

Modem connected with network cable to Router.

modem is capable of 6mbps

Your upload speed : 239392 bps, or 233 kbps.

I have dsl but for some reason I can only download files at 30 kbps max. Thats how fast it says im downloading on my download manager? Well its called dsl in Canada here but its not highspeed, but shouldn't i be downloading files a lot faster?

[Templarian]

mines like 20 kbps on dsl. grr i want cable.

thats not dsl speeds at all. i would check your wire going into ur house. same thing happened to me turned out they used really cheap wires ran a new wire to the box from the main one outside. walla.

von thats really messed up your download should always be faster than ur upload (unless u have a special internet plan). i would get that checked out.

[McGiver]

if it's that way all the time, we have the same problem.
I guess its some damping / attenuation problem.

I guess thats far from the speed what you should have

[von_dragon]

ya templarian I dont have a special plan just plain old dsl for bell sympatico (bell canada)
Its wierd because my friend has the same dsl but with another company and his speeds are some much faster.

Do you know how I should get it checked out?

[McGiver]

I guess you are too far away from your provider's next server, and I doubt there is an easy way to fix it.
...but feel free to share the problems with your provider's service hotline, and share the answers with us. (i'll give it a try too on monday, if I find some free time)

[von_dragon]

hmmm, maybe its time I paid a visit to Bell Canada's headquaters.:smirk2: Theyll wish they never messed with my service. :hitman: :pir: :ninja: Ill be sure to report back.

[creativeFuzion]

Well, I am sad to announce that mine is by far the worst out of all 35969 (<- number subject to change) members here at kirupa. Taken from this test (http://www.dslreports.com/stest?loc=97), my results are laying in the pile of crap below:

2005-09-04 02:34:19 EST: 7 / 5
Your download speed : 8133 bps, or 7 kbps.
A 0.9 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 5276 bps, or 5 kbps.

:evil: <- I think this guy has a grudge on me or something. What do you think?

:hurt:

~Philip, guy with a pile of crap, aka 'the internet'

[ya3]

As a matter of fact, I just signed up to a new ADSL provider with
12mbps speeds.
Divide that by 8, and you have 1.5MB/s (yes, 1.5 mega BYTES a sec).

Of course, that'd only be from Australian servers. I'd expect at least 500KB/s to 1MB/s from other places :D

[minimalistik]

You wouldn't happen to be with TPG would you? lol Every person I know has it.

[Blackspirit]

Hehe, I'm on TPG as well. $17 a month. Good old 56k :D

[G]

dam how much does that cost u????

[Seb Hughes]

There is this site where you can test your download/upload speed.

[ya3]

dam how much does that cost u????
http://iinet.net.au/broadband/ :D

[zacus]

omg, i happen to live in the north of canberra, a so called "planned" city, obviously not all that well planned if they are makeing the area i liv in as big as 100 000 ppl and didnt think to put anything more than dodgy regular phone lines in, we cant get cable, and the fastest we can get is 512 (which constantly drops out because of the overloaded single phone lines supporting entire suburbs)

:P blah blah blah, im just *****ing, grats man sounds cool

[MarcoRussolillo]

All you guys suck I get about 10K download.... TelKom sucks ahhhhhhhhh :fight:

[Digitalosophy]

Maybe we could run a wire from your place to mine. After all, sharing is good, right? Haha, if only that would be possible....
