I went here to test out my bandwidth after I got my new router.

http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

 

It said that my connection was 3.8 megabits. I have a cable connection through Adelphia.

 

What is your connection? I was just curious how my connection compared to other cable or dsl connections.

Adelphia (in VA)

 

Results:

 

4.3 megabits per second

Communications 4.3 megabits per second

Storage 527 kilobytes per second

1MB file download 1.9 seconds

Subjective rating Awesome

Try "www.Jeromy.net/chr" and it will give you several hits for an agerage time. Offers slow to fast connections test.

 

 

I ran the test on the highest speed and it said that my connection was 4.8 megabits! I dont know if this is accurate but its certainly better than 3.8 megabits.

 

Tarun try it too and post your results. I want something to compare my results to.

There is a program available by the name "CableNut" for free download on the internet. If you use it you can store your present settings then let it optomize all your PC setting for supposely a faster connection.

 

I think the most logical way of seeing it is, "Running Things Wide Open." I picked almost a MB on download. The Cable Co I'm with advertise 284KB up and 3MB down. I wasn't getting this until I used the program CableNut. Now I usually average 400KB and 3.8MB down.

 

If you use it, be careful and select the proper OS as it lists more than one.

You don't have permission to access /~gottjl01/ on this server.

 

Have the standalone *.exe?

 

 

If the new Link doesn't work for you, I do have a standalone but it needs updating. I'm trying to update it now. I will add it to the Forum if requested by you.

Sounds cool, worth looking at.

 

 

For what it's worth, I just downloaded the update which is more complicated than the older version. I had a little trouble figuring it all out. Did a lot of reading on their help windows, selected what I thought was right and what a bummer! Lost about 2MBs. Tried other settings offered, some helped, some didn't.

 

Disgusted I returned to the older version without the update and things really picked up. So I'm staying with the older one for now.

 

If you try the update, be advised you must have the older version installed before downloading the update. When downloading the update, pay careful attention to the instructions.
