Don't hate me
Download Speed: 5170 kbps (646.3 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 712 kbps (89 KB/sec transfer rate) And my wife was pounding the connection with a download on her computer while I run this. I like this test so much, I might be making this a sticky thread. Or using it in part of a sticky thread. I don't want to stick too much, so Might try to combine some this weekend and include this.

I am in the same boat, in fact one even worse than the boat you're in David. My down is 1200 something, but as long as a page loads in an appropriate amount of time, and it does, I am fine with it. The only place where Byte's speed comes is in downloading huge files and stuff, even then, can servers give it to you that fast anyway?

I am wired in to Comcast.
Other areas the speed is useful. Large files and yes, most servers can provide it at these speeds. However, I have a network setup for my wife and I. So when that speed it used on the network, there does not appear to be any real lag, unless one of us is FTPing (uploading). I have had our connection down to a crawl just be uploading files to webservers. |

i have been using this speedtest site for a while now, they just recently changed the main speedtest page. i to have comcast and paying for the 4mbps service:
Download Speed: 4166 kbps (520.8 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 340 kbps (42.5 KB/sec transfer rate) this is on a wireless connection right now. speeds the same for my wired connection. for a long time i was always stuck with download speeds around the 2.2mbps mark only on my wireless connection. my wired connection would always get the right speed results. at first i thought it was my wireless router that was crapping out so i purchased another one. well that didnt solve the problem, so then i thought it was my wireless card in my pc, but then i realized that my roommates laptop was getting the same results. so i started researching and i found the utility called DR. TCP. i installed it followed the directions and now i get the speed im paying for both my wireless and wired connection. i also have WPA on for my encryption. looks like Byte 2.0 is paying for the 6mbps service with comcast. here is the link for the Dr. TCP utility http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp heres the link to set it up properly http://www.dslreports.com/faq/578 Muskie i see you kind of experiencing the same problems that i did with my wireless. give the DR. TCP a try

1277/380 on Telus 1.5mbps DSL. I like the test, but I do not like that fact that it is run by an ISP.
