Firewall off
3434 / 344

Firewall on
3383 / 343

At work, I routinely get > 40000 Kbit/s (yes, 40 THOUSAND) synchronous bandwidth, but that's because they have some tremendous pipes at work. Of course, that's using Verizon's internal speedtest servers. I've yet to see an external bandwidth test site that can accurately measure my bandwidth at work.

You'll get alot more accurate results if you find a server that is close to you here:

From the middle of the Pacific to a server in CA:

3748 down

340 up

Would the numbers be any higher if I tried a local test site?

Yes, they will be higher (more accurate) if you use a closer server. There are a couple listed there in HI...

Re: Broadband users check your speed and post resu

For me a more accurate test is to pick a server far away, that is a more realworld test.IMHO /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Broadband users check your speed and post resu

From work I get 3547 down and 3865 up. This is from Norway! I'm directly connected to a Gigabit infrastructure so I haven't found any servers up to the task of measuring the full speed, the best I have measured was 21500 kbit.
From home I only get 2600 down.

Re: Broadband users check your speed and post resu

Thanks guys, BatteryCharger I will try the ones here (if I can find them) and BeamHead you do have a good point as well, that I don't surf only local Hawaiian sites but everywhere in the country and even the world. I will try to get both readings, but the other point you brought up is even better, that at this time (well, it is a little later by now) there are likely way more users still online, clogging up the pipes. I will probably get better numbers as the night (and early morning) wears on.

Thanks again.

Re: Broadband users check your speed and post resu

2345/up

611/up

why is my "up" number so high? Seems like the average broadband was around 400.
