Your internet connection

**Just A Girl** · 03-15-2006, 11:13

as a rule of thumb you generaly devide your connection speed by 8 to get your max transfer rate...

56k modem connectz to internet at 33kbps
33/8 = 4.125Kb's avarage download speed

modem connects to internet at 576kbps/8 = 72kb's avarage download speed.

personally im on 1mb adsl.
so i avarage 144kb's downloads.
but that dosent mean it dosent sometimes go to 200+

With Xiahou's test I got the following :

-----------------------------------------------------------

dslreports.com speed test result on 2006-03-15 10:04:48 EST:
493 / 271
Your download speed : 493 kbps or 61.6 KB/sec.

Your upload speed : 271 kbps or 33.9 KB/sec.

-----------------------------------------------------------

have no idea if this is good or not...well is it ?

Note: don't know if it's important, but it's a wireless internet connection...

It`s good if it`s close to the connection you`ve oredered.
Generally speaking, it`s in the low end of broadband connections.

Not sure what you mean by wireless, but it shouldn`t do any difference.

I have DSL and am supposed to have 1.5 mbps, but I dont know the exact number, but it works very well when playing Multiplayer.

Just what it says. His house or the phone poll outside his house is a hotspot. And you can access a wireless lan that way. And wireless connections are much slower than a wired one. Though the ones a wireless company or a city might install are probably better than the 54 or 108 Mbps that we can buy at a store.
