That's quite high. I once barely reach 0.5 Mb/s on both upload and download when I lived in the countryside once.

To be fair, it makes sense that all the posters before me should measure speedtest on 1 point so we're all measuring the same thing. obviously you can achieve double/triple digits on 50-200 miles.

Woah that's a big difference between download and upload.

Also, what's with the people in the hundreds?!? o_O

Seeing I've gone over my cap (ISP's fault) I'm pulling a whopping 30KB/s... I'm looking forward to NBN rolling out in Australia, 100Mb/s down and 8Mb/s up -- I'd love that!

most of them seem to be from a university and thus using the university's internet, which is usually pretty fast (especially during non-peak hours), others seem to be the ISP boosting speeds for speed test but not actually providing those speeds outside of that

Of course when you need speed, get a server. :p

I am supposed to be getting about 10Mb/s but not even close...



Wanna swap Ghan?

Interesting that I wasn't in the Internet evolution of ~3 years.

Same upload/download speed since 2007.

(Ps... You gotta love what Speedtest has done, right beside the grade level.)

Slow. I'm on a mountain in Idaho connected to an ISP that's overloaded with kids downloading way too much stuff they'll never use after school.

If you want to be pessimistic about it. It's slow if you were to compare it to the fastest possible connection, however, it's faster than 82% of other people that have tested their connection's speeds. So theres something to be happy about.
So if you want to look at it that way, go for it. I'll be enjoying my fast internet speed, not really caring that yours, or anyone elses, is faster. :)

I would suspect Varine is talking about his own connection, not yours. And nice speeds btw...

>>>>>

I'm on a 30Mbps down, 1Mbps up plan w/ a 200GB cap. Then I get slowed to 64Kbps, or 16KB/s -- that's real fun.

I got Grade A on both my speed test and ping test. The former showed 24Mbps down, 1.15Mbps up, 10-15ms ping. I'm faster than 88% of AU, but at full speed I should be faster than 95% of AU :D. The latter showed 0% packet loss, 27ms ping (450 miles away) and 1ms jitter.

It's ridiculous that after my cap my 3G connection on my phone is ~25x faster up and down. Ping is 300-400ms in League of Legends though, and at some point it flips out randomly and jumps up to 2500+. Although, the servers have been doing that lately to people on WiFi, myself included, so it may not be the phone's fault :p

Fun playing with 5000ms ping though...

If that is the case, then one would post a "speedtest" of their connection in the post. A post without a "speedtest" picture would then be assumed to be a reply to the "speedtest" posted most recently, or if there was a quote in the post, the "speedtest" from the quote in the post.

As for my speed, I haven't got to play with it much yet, as we got it while I was in the hospital. Doh :)
Time to, errr, play lots of Xbox and download things at the same time? I don't know, what do you look forward to doing with fast internet? Lol :D

  • The Helper The Helper:
    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
