Decided to do it again.

Ugh. It isn't that our ISP is bad, it's that my parents refuse to by a new router/modem/whatever the hell it is. It's from 2003.
I can still play TF2 online with little lag though (there are spikes every once in a while) but that's the only multiplayer game like that I play.

In fact, I just did pingtest, and this pretty much proves that our ISP is good and it's our fault:

The average cable Internet connection in America.

Yeah! Don't use up all my bandwidth, but if you want to see how fast it is, try this command:

wget -O /dev/null http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.bin

Note that 1MB/s = 8mbps

I don't see how I could possibly use up 1.7 Gbps...
But you're the one paying for it, so no reason I would use it
What host are you renting the server from ?

Best I've ever gotten.....
Just glad I'm not one of the people who have like .4 down and .1 up

Uverse is so much better then ADSL.

Just a small warning. Speed test websites are very easily faked, both intentionally and unintentionally.

Intentionally they can be faked with javascripts. Unintentionally they can be faked with "speed" boosters. Most isp store the "data" from speakeasy, speedtest and the other internet speed sites on local servers. You are hitting them when you get your speed. The best way to test for speed is to do something in your country but other side of it. Or do an extended download of very large files.

For example, here is my home internet connection

:::.. Download Test Results ..:::
Download Connection:: 34316 Kbps or 33.5 Mbps
Download Test Size:: 200 MB or 204800 kB or 209715200 bytes
Download Speed:: 4290 kB/s or 4.2 MB/s
Tested At:: http://TestMy.net version:12

Test Time:: 2012-05-20 16:01:18 Local Time
1MB Download in 0.24 Seconds - 1GB Download in ~4 Minutes - 613X faster than 56K
This test of exactly 204800 kB took 47.745 seconds to complete
Running at 765% of hosts average (Frontier Communications)

Notice that it was a 200MB file.

Well that was inaccurate for me.
It reported 4.6Mbps; 3 different sources reported closer to 10Mbps for me (Steam, Speedtest.net, BBC iPlayer thingy [It also reported 0.36Mbps up; Speedtest.net says 1Mbps {128KBps} and FileZilla says 200KBps]):

Because the internet is not a open freeway to go as fast as you want. The internet is a closed system in which traffic jams happen. You know what it takes to make a offical test by isp standards. 700 tests a day take at 10 minute internals for 1 week. Average them out and you got average speed. But to be honest, if you where only getting 4.6 Mbps, that is probably your true speed. Almost any other program uses locally hosted files.

Sorry, my internet's been up & down lately, normally it's way higher.

Lol, mine is 59.

Ping: 30 (Default server, over 400 on most)
Download: 1-2 mbs
Upload: .5 mbs

I'm not on peak times right now, and this is over a router connection.

Im Happy with mine, and soon it will be higher

My results:

This is my first (and best) result.
Curse you, MPW...I have a dream, of an internet utopia on the moon.
Lightning fast wifi everywhere, no traffic jams, and easy communication to Earth.
Near-instantanious downloads and uploads.
Incredible virus protection and whatnot.
This is my dream, of all people to have equal internet. From people living in cheap apartments to that rich guy who lives in a mansion alone. One day this will happen. And that day, that day, I tell you, is soon. Once NASA is back on their feet, we will have internet. Internet EVERYWHERE. And, if your internet doesn't work? You are a frog.

Upload isnt the greatest, but I've got a 30/20 connection back at home.
