Guest Will Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I've decided to create this topic because I'd like to know what is the general Internet connection speed of us TDN'ers. Simply visit Speedtest to find out what your speed is, and then post the results here. Compare and discuss! ;) Here's mine: I know I don't live in London, but it's the best server near me (Lisbon's is rubbish), but that does mean my ping is not accurate (it's quite high, though), and the distance...well, it says all. I'm with NOVIS right now (I don't like them at all), and I'm switching to Vodafone soon, which will hopefully be much faster. I was quite astounded to see that my actual Internet connection is 2 Mbps download and 256 Kbps upload. Sure, upload is below the promised by Novis, but the upload is around 5 times more, which is simply excellent! Please be sure to post your actual Internet speed package (download and upload speeds).

Anime Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Verison Fios. Just got it hooked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well, that's basically mine, I haven't had a chance to compare it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 My download works out to be around 175 Kilobytes per second. This is exactly what I am supposed to be getting, no complaints. I have no clue what you guys do with all that extra bandwidth. Brittney's is over 1.8 Megabytes per second. Will's over 1.25 Megabytes per second. Teej's over 2.2 Megabytes per second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Quite happy with this... sure, it could be better, but it is still decent. Edit: with another server, it's faster ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 V's download is a little over 713 Kilobytes per second. V's edit is just under 846 Kilobytes per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Heh, this was definitely interesting. Is my internet slow for being ADSL2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crxsnochic Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 so slow :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Eric's fastest is over 445 Kilobytes per second. crxsnochic's download is over 135 Kilobytes per second. crxsnochic, you're speed isn't slow. The others just have unnecessary speed. You and I are bandwidth conservationists. Besides, try Dial-up for a day and you'll never want change your current ISP.

Izzy ♥ Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I actually have high-speed internet by NZ stanards :( The service here is pretty terrible... EDIT: I checked my plan, its meant to be 2MB download and 128k upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeptroid Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well, at least I have a decent connection. =/ Anime and TJ scare me with their connection. They should get a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My Internet provider is offering super high speed Internet now too... there are ads all around the city. We don't feel like paying extra fees though. (Plus, as Metroid said... we could have a speed ticket :O) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Am I the fastest so far, out of everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeptroid Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Am I the fastest so far, out of everyone? It would appear so, you little Speed Demon. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Isabel is lazing along at 45 Kilobytes per second. Metroid is hitting 614.5 Kilobytes per second. Looks like Teej is the fastest. Isabel is the slowest. I'm surprised no one's got Dial-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Oh yeah, sooo fast. It's not my provider's fault, its my computer's. I have to use a USB wireless adaptor to connect to my house's signal and it has to travel through several walls and up one story to get there. Basically, some walls and a USB stands between me and substantially faster internet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crxsnochic Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks DOOM!, I don't feel so slow anymore! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Tom, what's the speed on your USB connector? You might want to consider getting a wireless PCI card. BTW, You got 51.6 kilobytes per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategos Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 This is weird. Check out my upload speed. 7200 miles away: At home: And a state away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiaircraft Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 And we pay for 2 Mbps... Ain't it great to have an ISP that delivers? <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Wow AA, now I don't feel so slow anymore. That's really slow (no offense) Still, mine is really bad and I hope to fix it up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Will Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 And we pay for 2 Mbps... Ain't it great to have an ISP that delivers? <_< It seems to me you're testing your speed quite far away from home. Try closer if possible. But for a 2 Mbps connection, it's certainly VERY slow. Figures, I have got a 5x faster connection for my 2 Mbps, and you have it around 10x slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Eh... I tried a couple of servers near to where I live. That one was the fastest. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
