I will download the REST of the internets

:lol:

edit: depending on the time of day, it can be as high as 200mbps

2

I hardly even get that much speed in kb/s :lol:

3

I've got Download rate envy. :lol: What kind of connection gets that speed, and is that even available on a residential line?

4

Names changed, speeds accurate. :(

Well being on Mars, that'll cause those slow speeds, but that slow of a speed is nothing to laugh at it would drive me insane.

:lol: Well, Andavari, the speed is all over the map. Sometimes it is 3 or 4 times that. ATT has dropped the quality of this service drastically, to the point I am considering a complete change, phone and all.

opmwlt.png Not too bad for a 20 meg line.

I had to post image thru TinyPic cos this http://www.speedtest.net/result/1462529677.png won't hot link here. Why?

I used to remember when we were happy for 600kbs :lol:

History tells us that back in the 1930s the USA had public works projects to help move the country out of the Great Depression.

Maybe nations should start a massive employment project laying fiber optic cables and get us all up to the idealistic 100 megs. That may help end the recession. :)

Now that makes too much sense. I don't think elected officials think that far ahead. :blink:

Google is experimenting with Gigabit ethernet in... Kansas city, I believe. America has some of the lowest average bandwidth sizes out of developed countries... I believe N.Korea (best korea!) averages 60 megabits.

12

Here’s a chart.

Ah, it was Japan with 60. Not quite "close enough" but.. you know.

Here's how I got the image to work:

1. Copied the link.

2. On here in the post clicked the Insert image icon picture.png and pasted in the link, and wallah it showed.

I'll have to run my tests tomorrow night while in Texas to see how it is compared to Comcast. ;)

Well our whole infrastructure is just outdated, that's another discussion but so much needs updated starting with the power grid, water supply lines, bridges, etc., before they realistically start thinking about laying down umpteen miles of fiber-optic lines - but oh wait they can't do that since we're broke.

Tell me about it. <_<

Anyway, I get about 10 mbps down and .5 mbps up. Winapp's obviously on a university T3 line. Let's see him get those speeds at home. :P

19

Sadly I'm only on a 15/2 connection at home :(

Just thought I would share mine. I love my internet :D
