Cool speed test for your internet connection

Ekka · 3rd August 2007, 09:24 PM

Well, this is the simplest and fastest/easiest I have used.

http://www.speedtest.net/

I run a 512/512 connection and I'm clocked in at 433/432 which is pretty good.

I need the larger upline speed to load videos to the server, you see, the next plan is 256/1500 and the 256 sould take twice as long to load up.

Hi,
I just checked ours, 1356kbs,Down/192up, The speed varied a little around Australia.
Good tool,were changing servers shortly,faster and bigger download..fingers crossed.

We're switching to optus soon at a 15,000kbps speed down I think it is? So we should be DLing at about 1MPS

. Not to sure what our uploads are going to rise to though.

30/214

That's bad!

It must take forever for you to see a video.

I suppose embedded pics mike peave you off too. If so, in your user cp you can option it out.

Houthakker · 6th August 2007, 07:10 AM

Video's are out of the question for me! Too bad some friends do not understand this and send me video's 5-6mb!! Is a pity, would like to see some of your video's, I love my job and it seems to me you do too. Right now I'm looking into internet via satellite. Mobile internet, sounds great but very expensive outside Sweden I would have to pay 100 swedish crowns about 17$ per 1mb!

Now I dcan see how slow my dialup runs at home.

Thank god I have T1 at the office.

mdvaden · 14th August 2007, 05:59 PM

1318 / 412

We're on about 1/2 of what's available to purchase here. And Portand has some a bit faster.

That 1318 / 412 was what gauged on my computer while my son was gaming online with the other computer through the same router and modem.

newguy18 · 27th June 2008, 06:19 AM

2564/313,not bad i can watch all the videos without a problem.

Ekka · 27th June 2008, 06:24 AM

I switched my connection for a 1500/256 and now running at

1322/209 ... not bad, much faster downloads but it sucks loading files up. We got really crap speed choices here and pay out too much anyways, need a net revolution here!

Done it · 28th June 2008, 01:59 AM

Mine doesn't seem like anyones, 9608kbps/125.

Ekka · 28th June 2008, 02:21 AM

Looks like cable there mate, the slow 125 upline gives it away.

Done it · 28th June 2008, 04:14 AM

Yeah, it's the new wireless cable, [that has a cable]

It downloads really fast, and I got a good deal because I was one of the first to get it. Videos are extra fast, and I think I can download a movie in 5-10 minutes, but I haven't tried that.
