Hey all,

I was wondering... How fast is your internet connection? Comcast just upgraded in our area, so when I'm not on the University's superfast line, I get this:

14.8 Megabits! Finally something useful. If only we could speed up the upload rates...

So, any of you out there on Verison FiOS? Roadrunner Fiber? Something superfast? Whatcha got?

 

[justmyluck]

What speed test are you using there?

Thanks,
Eric

This is the place that most other websites get their speed test webapps from.

Here in ausland i get downstream of round 15m bits/sec, upstream of round 70 :)

Thats on DSL2 with theoretical max of 24m bits/sec :)

Edit: good point about the ping 184ms here

Edit: $50 per month for a stand alone DSL service ( no land line phone service )

yeah, even with my 15mbits, I still get the dreaded "Please try again later" message.

yuck.
