Your connection speed?

[guitarnerd]

I was kinda intrested and finding out what everybody elses connection was according to this

http://www.dslreports.com/stest

This is my average I have had it faster

[YUPAPA]

:( Test Limit Exceed.

I got 971 Kbps here:
http://webservices.cnet.com/bandwidth/

[guitarnerd]

The cnet.com one is always slow because so many people use it at once and there is no limit to how many people can use it like the one at DSL reports. Try using the other server yupapa :)

Sometimes when I check it and my download is really high my upload is real low, and the other way around. Almost like I have a shared upload and download. Yeah I wish.

My, how often this is asked...

2903 / 1079


I avg. around 3mbps down and 1.1mbps up. Gotta love cable.

[dapcgenius]

3353/913

[guitarnerd]

Wow those are all pretty high speeds. are you guys using buisness DSL or something?

[Robert]

Nope. A friend of mine works for the cable co down here and got me a free modem.

[guitarnerd]

Well don't you need more than just a modem to connect with a cable connection

[Robert]

I have the cable service from the company, so I just connected the modem and it works.

[murat]

Have you tweaked your system? I was getting 1000kbps down than I tweaked and now I get 3000

[cheatpark]

http://www.dslreports.com/stest

According to that my upload speed is 460kbit/s down and 238kbits/s up but I know my modem is 512/256.

whats that ?

[Robert]

Tweaking.. like making your RWIN # bigger. Think of your RWIN has a pipe, the bigger the pipe, the more water that can go through it. The larger your RWIN #, the more data can pass.

http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks/

[guitarnerd]

You can't do that with XP. Anyone know of any tweaks that will work with XP

[Robert]

Sure you can with XP. It's all based on the RWIN settings in your registry. I'm on XP.

[guitarnerd]

I guess I will try again :S
When I went to try the registry path it told me to go to wasn't therre

[Robert]

Don't edit your registery directly.

Download Dr. TCP

http://www.pcrob.net/uploads/

[guitarnerd]

Ok I got Dr. TCP now what do I edit in it to make it faster?

[Robert]

Goto www.dslreports.com/tweaks

and run the tweak test. it'll tell u what to make your RWIN # to.

[Who?]

mine sucks:(

1490kbps down | 77kbps up

what AT&T says i should get

1500kbps down | 128kbps up

[guitarnerd]

Direct tv DSL says I should get the same yet I am connected at 1.2mbits and 166kbps up so don't worry. Somestimes when I check it is over 1.6 and is 64 up so it is not bad. It all depends on a lot of things

[Moonman]

hmm, 56K ROCKS
50 Kbps Download
30 Kbps Upload

[guitarnerd]

Thanks moon man but I'll stick with DSL :)

i have a very cool sat connection now

:cool2:

i went for a up and down sat which is

wtf did u think i meant coolin :confused2

[guitarnerd]

By the way cdude that is a fast satellite connection. Most are around 1mbps some are as much as $800 bucks and only run at 512down. That is horrible :mad: Anyway, You probably couldn't connect cause of your ping time. Or just cause it won't work with satellite. Try using MSNs

well my sat is down well they do upgrades ... but ...

gaming on quake3 i get a ping of 4 usually ... the delay doesn't affect me at all :confused2

Its infact super fast .. and no lag at all
:biggrin2:

[Coolin]

My "WTF" was directed at the speed results.

I don't know of any satellite connection that can download over 2-3 megabytes a second.

I second that. I never heard of a residential satellite connection that could do that. Maybe he misunderstood the results, instead of reading 200kb/s he read 2000kb/s.

[dawizman]

well from here:
http://bos.speakeasy.net/
i get 143934 / 131916 but I have an OC3 connection:p

No ,

My sat has no real cap on it ...

i have a 2 x gbit ethernet to the sat box .. which means i can upload and download at up to gbit ... however the most i have ever got from the sat was

i think 38mbit down , 36mbit up

It is usually at 8mbit down , 1mbit up due to problems ... which is why they are now doing network upgrades :)

I went for a private company and i'm paying just over £300 per month

Well there are some .. but its expensive :mad:

[guitarnerd]

This is what my sattelite company says...
"we offer high speed sattelite internet connection with 1mbitsps down, with 8mbit bursts." So It could very well be over 2mbit the up speed usually around 256 with sattelite :rolleyes:

Haha :biggrin2:

Sucker :D

I get no "fixed" speed .... its just as much as is available

Just think .. if no other people are on the sat ... i get full use of a 10gbit sat

1gbit up and down at same time ....

but what would i download and upload :confused2

Weather doesn't affect the signal thankgod :biggrin2:

living in the UK .. if weather affected it i would have about 1% access :biggrin2:

[DCI]

cdude: When did you get the sat? 2 Days ago, you still were using 56k. :confused2

I've had it ages .... i use my 56k for surfing ...

remember i said i had about £300 to spend on ADSL :confused2

Well in thiery i could get rid of my sat connection and get 8mb/s adsl if i wanted to ... but adsl wont be in my area for ages ... so i'm keeping my sat :classic2:

Also ... my connection is being upgraded :biggrin2:

it will have a min of 8mbit both ways :cool: and a max of 1000mbit both ways

[Robert]

Do you mind giving me the URL of this company that offers 8000/8000 satellite connection for roughly $400USD/Monthly.

Thank You.

Also.. how much do you pay a month for it?

[guitarnerd]

My dad's work has sattelite but it is different, he has satellites in his office that send the signal to a local antenna. Which is right down the street. He normally gets DSL down speeds and about 1.5mb up that is $375 a month. But the company they get it through is upgarding there sytem so they will have 3mbps up and down. All satellite connections are effected by weather.

That is 110% bull----. Then how come my TV has picture-perfect images during the massive '97 Ice Storm that hit hard here?? EXPLAIN ME THAT??

During the Ice Storm... Didn't u see that really small pixel at the top right corner of your TV seem a bit odd in colour when you stare at it? It's sorta lighter than the rest.

[Bruce]

Storms don't affect my satellite dish, except for the times when we get wet, heavy snow and it sticks to the damn thing blocking the reception.

Well at the moment i'm paying just over £300 + VAT .. but the speeds are not always extreamly fast .. sometimes dips to a couple of mbit ... so i'm having my account upgraded to min 8mbit both ways ...

it will probally increase my fee by 200%

And did i tell you it cost £750 + VAT for the dish and software :mad:

I can give you a url of a company like the one i'm using :biggrin2:

http://www.skydsl.de/skydsl/gb/

not sure if they support the USA though :biggrin2: not even sure if there is a data-transfer limit ... :confused:

[guitarnerd]

What is all this crap I read that you have to have a dial-up ISP??? Don't tell me it is one of those one way things, cause I can get sattelite with the same speed here, but you still need dial up service for you up stream, it is only about $20 a month and no equipment charge.

Stay on topic .... whats that then :rolleyes:

Whats the different between the area codes on cnet bandwidth meter ..

Also daniel ...dual T3 .. i just though ... that must cost a good $10k maybe $25k

Do they go to the same provider also

i havn't proberly said how much bandwidth / connection i have :D

I have a standard 56k

also i have a satalite connection ... which can be anything up to 1000mbit both ways .... but not sure the average as its down for upgrades ...

i thought it was going to cost me more ... but i don't think it will :biggrin2: .. which is good .. cos there is only so much money in my pocket at the moment :mad:
