February 1, 200719 yr Megabit, megabyte. Kilobit, kilobyte. 8 bits is 1 byte. kbit/s = kilobit per second kbyte/s = kilobyte per second kilo means thousand.
February 1, 200719 yr I know all that, it's just that trish has a high upload speed compared with the rest of us, I thought MrT's was quite good until trish posted hers.
February 1, 200719 yr Yes, thats insane good speed. I have 100/10 mbit/s, but I don't get that good on speedtest.net
February 1, 200719 yr Author Administrator I love my download speed (2-3MB/s) I just wish my upload speed would be faster.
May 27, 200817 yr You're all gonna hate me... I'm working at my university - which used to host the .CA TLD servers. The servers are now elsewhere, but we got to keep the infrastructure. :)
May 27, 200817 yr Author Administrator Mine has gone up since my original post, but nowhere near as useful as Zxian's speeds. I wish a fraction (maybe one tenth or one eighth) of that upload speed would be mine.
May 27, 200817 yr well i did the test cannot post meter. but here is what i had 25822kb's on Download and had 1119 kb's on Upload iis correct other i screwed that up. ill try and post meter it the speed seems to be all over the place must have something to do with number of users using my broadband provider.
May 27, 200817 yr Author Administrator laserjet, click My Results > select your latest test, then on the right it will have say "Forum link (for most forums):" Just copy/paste that here.
May 27, 200817 yr darn speed fluctuates drastically but thank you for editor title and teaching me how to post meter
May 28, 200817 yr here's another, ping lower now and this test taken from another location ping high but look at the speed
January 9, 200917 yr I got 100 mbit/s down, and 10 mbit/s up through my ISP which uses switched Ethernet technology. I only pay €32 a month for it. It is so fast that I can download 10 pornos at the same time, and chat, stream movies, stream radio, do VoIP, and play games online and it still wont lag! When I download updates for Ubuntu, I get speed like 10 mbyte/s. I download a 700 megabyte ISO file in minutes.
January 12, 200917 yr Thats pretty crazy. I dont think there is anything residential in the US that is that fast.(not affordable anyway). I dont know if you can really take advantage of that right now though anyway. Most download servers are capping the download speeds for me now, so even more speed wouldn't make a difference. I downloaded the last ubuntu in like 12 minutes from bittorent. Thats plenty fast right now. I stream netflix movies on my xbox a lot, I'm getting 720p without a hiccup right now, maybe once they start doing 1080p I'll upgrade.
April 25, 200917 yr This is awful. Not sure how many computers are online at home at the moment, but I think it is only 3 so I should be getting better than that.
August 23, 201213 yr Here's our new DSL connection: So it's not great - but it's much better than the 56k dialup we were using, and it's only $20.00 a month. :thumbup:
