What speed is your internet?

[Mikeus Caesar]

To celebrate my broadband being made ridiculously faster for free, to 1MB, i want to know, how fast is your internet?

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

750k, but it just got upped it to 2Mbit for free.

[ShadesWolf]

2Mbit

[ah_dut]

1mb from Telewest, soon changing to Bulldog (4mb)

[Husar]

2 Mbit

[Krusader]

5 mbit

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Just had one of these. Anyway 56k that runs at 52k......

[Gawain of Orkeny]

100.0 Mbps . Is that good?

Bad Gawain, bad. Taunting us like that. Very bad /shakes finger

2.3 Mbps apparently. Anyone know the link to that speed test site that someone posted before.

I have no idea what 100 Mpbs means. I guess its mega bites per second and Im told that our connection here is the best in the world. But how 100Mpbs relates to 5 mbit I have no idea. Whats mbit? How fast is my connection ?

Faster than light. And unless I'm gravely mistaken 100 Mbps is 20x than 5 mbps. And I still think you're just pretending to be ignorant to tease us, not that that's a bad thing.

[Ironside]

100 Mpbs = 100Megabit/sec = 100/8 megabytes/sec.

All speeds are meassured in bit/sec never byte/sec.

I'm no expert on it, but that's what I've learned.

Got 10 Mpbs myself.
The problem is always the other side. ~;)

[Craterus]

Hehehe, I'm 100.0 Mbps too.

[The Wizard]

1.5 mbit.

[IrishMike]

2.2 mbit

[Viking]

Just had one of these. Anyway 56k that runs at 52k......

Me too have 56.6 kbit.
No Idea what it runs at though.

Just don`t feel that I fit in here when I see those with 100 mb/sec...

Anyway, anyone got 200? Just waiting for it..

[Byzantine Prince]

I beleave the fastest I've known anyone get their internet was a friend of mine who got a 3 gigabit per sec with a fiberoptic connection. You could basically download anything and it would take miliseconds to download.

The annoying part is that the other side needs the same speed. :furious3:

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Downloads generally run much much slower than a broadband connection, from what I have heard from my cable owning friends 700-800kbps is a rare and high speed for a download using a download manager to grab from several places.

[Pausanias828]

I have a 2Mb cable connection with Telewest, and I really hate it any time I have to use a dial up connection, as I am not the most patient person in the world.

http://reviews.cnet.com/Bandwidth_meter/7004-7254_7-0.html?tag=tool

Cnet's bandwidth meter. Fill in any 3-digit number for "area code" & click "GO". Takes a few seconds for the packet to make a round-trip; when test is finished, shows how your connection stacks up against typical speeds of various connections.

Test results


You 272000 kbps

[Mikeus Caesar]

Bah, that C-net thing only works for american users.

[discovery1]

2106.4 Kbps - You

*jaw drops at the sight of Gawains connection*

Stop taunting us! :bigcry:





Crongrats on being so luckily/hardworking as to have that, on a more serious note.
