[Tarun]

After playing with Speedtest.net...

[Tarun]

Depends on the package you had with your cable setup.

This one was using my closest server:

This one was the other one that was available in the UK:

Not bad I guess, but not good either.

I should be getting up to 8Mbps, but rarely get much more than 6Mbps.

[JMac]

This is mine.

mine s***tier

lol, that brought a smile to my face. Ok so um, i dont find my downloads slow at all, the most i ever have to wait is when i download hires versions of halo2 montages, and thats like 10 minutes. there cant be that huge of an advantage of having 2 or 3 times my download score can there? maybee in like 5 years, but right now, whats the use?

It's actually very useful for me; as I often download huge files, even ISO images to use for work and home educational purposes.

Holy Cow!!

I'm almost too embarrased to post this...stupid Verizon

Yeah, I can see what you mean. LOL.

I would of just kept quiet and skipped this thread MP.

Btw, how are you?

Where have you been?

[Johnno]

half the speed it is supposed to be:

I'm glad I'm getting a faster connection later this month

[Capman]

I got my best result tonight, although it is not running at that now.

[Tarun]

Good speeds, but rather high lag tonight too it seems. :happybday:

[Capman]

Oh definitely, I am so noticing it as well.

I am wondering if there is a server problem in my area or something. I can't even get on my own site.

I think it was about this time last year that I could not get on Lunarsoft for about 13 days, must just be a bad time of year for me I guess.

[Tarun]

Well, you can always use our search feature.

I still have an e-mail from you from Jan 4 2006 where you were having problems getting to this site and DjLizard's website.

[Ultimate Predator]

Here's mine, low as it is, I'm not that bothered, but to save money I'm switching Internet Providers soon, which might also up my speed to the maximum of 1mb:

[Capman]

Mine went up again, but I don't know how it got to that speed, my connection is only 8Mbps.

[Ultimate Predator]

Lucky git.

[Eldmannen]

Tarun, what type of Internet connection do you got and how fast is it?

[Tarun]

Cable, and I believe that is 16Mbps.

[Eldmannen]

Not bad, not bad. :happybday:

[MrT]

I have since decided that it was Kerio Firewall that was causing my problems.

After I installed it I noticed:

• Increased shutting down times (my computer normally shuts down in 30 seconds, but it was taking about 2 minutes with Kerio installed.
  
• BSOD's (not often, but often enough to be a PITA.)
  
• Erratic internet speeds.
  

Since ditching it, I am getting consistent results from speedtest.net that I am happy with, just under 5 Meg for a "up to 8 Meg" connection is ok by me.
