Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test (http://www.speedtest.net/)


Just so we can see where everyone is these days take this speed test and post your results and the type of provider.


I live in kind of a remote spot and just have normal comcast cable, (not xfinity yet) so my speed is probably on the slow-adequate side of things. I would like to see what the Fios and xfinity and other providers are doing.

I get 33 Mbps download and 6 Mbps upload (comcast cable (normal) Martha's Vineyard)

that's pretty friggin fast download

I have 19 down and 6 up

33.1 Down
6.4 Up

Comcast/Xfinity, normal (not business). Not sure what you mean by Xfinity offering different, that is just Comcast's new branding name "Xfinity".

Looks the Vineyard gets same as mainland...

Xfinity/comcast
Ping 18ms
Down 18.72Mbps
Up 3.57

I've got 20.81 and 3.20, seems like something is wrong here (maybe they limit the bandwidth available in Easton and Mansfield:confused:) I noticed after having the power supply replaced and installing a adobe update I now have to wait almost 2 minutes after clicking turn off computer in lower right corner before the next box appears that allows me to chose standby/ shut down/ restart, 2 minutes:fury: which used to be not even 10 seconds:wall:. I am so sick and tired of sites having the ability to hinder my computers performance through cookies or whatever other spy ware type BS causing a loss in productivity. I don't know what to do and will probably spend money to have it looked at because I am going crazy waiting to shut my computer off or put it on standby....2 minutes is too long to wait to put it on standby, any help appreciated.

2nd test
20 PING
Down 15.76Mbps

I got 11.51 download and 2.09 upload with cablevision.

OUCH!

a no fios area i presume jake

sometimes you can switch (reverse)the order of preferred servers
so that the Back up server is first and the normal server is last
so your on the LESS busy server and gain speed that way

Wow FIOS is fast. What are you paying per month? I pay about $50 for Comcast here in FL.

$60 for internet, but I work from home so company pays it.......

we pay 60 also
we upgraded the tv package recently and they were supposed to raise our speed to the next level
it was 25/25 so it should be either 30 or 35 now
not sure why I don't even get much past 20:confused:
maybe it's the time of day or something, or the wires suck

Go to your verizon homepage and sign in. Then search for the speed optimizer, and run it. Then check your speeds. Keep in mind that none of the speedtest sites are 100% accurate. You can also access your routers home page and it will tell you the ping speed...

Another bit of useful info for the test: hard wired or wireless?

I tested hard wired 3-4x throughout day with little change on Comcast 33U/6.5D.

Figured I'd test the UMass Boston feed, wireless connection:
Ping 24ms, Download 24.7, Upload 22.8

Pretty damn fast! Early morning so no one here using. I'll post test of this same computer via wireless on my home network later today.

PRbuzz,

With regard to the "branding" I went up to the comcast office here to swap out a couple of remotes and while I was there I asked about my plan (tv/3phonelines/internet) to see if what I had was current and makes sense and asked about getting xfinity for some of the dvr features. She said it is not available on the island yet, that it requires an upgrade to some systems here and and that will not take place until mid-late April. I asked her what it means in terms of added features, and one of the added features she said will be "much higher Internet speeds", among other interactive features and a total redesign of on-demand stuff. I asked when...late April.
According to her it is more than re-branding but if you ask me it looks an incremental upgrade and they are re-packaging it under a new name.

26Mbps down / 3Mbps up - FIOS. Suppose I need to change that.

This hurts....Verizon DSL connected to modem by cat 5

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

first of all..you don't need all those friggan updates trying to update
while your surfin the net trying to do whatever

ADOBE is the absolute worst program that is constantly trying to update
every time you look at the wall,,,,off it goes..

so go into control panel and shut off automatic updates (for now)
then when you have time ......... you can turn it back on
(theres an icon in there if your running win XP)

also, you want to download the free program called
"whats running"
which allows you to terminate processes and applications at will

also showing you every single ip address your connected to
and every program that's running ESPECIALLY in the start menu
which will slow a computer down to a crawl --> LIMIT THOSE

RAVEN - ARE YOU ON DIGITAL CRACK? Sorry bub but you are way off the reservation here ;) - while there are some elements of possible tangential truths in this post it has bigger exposure to do harm. I'll defer to you for growing things, please defer computer systems to others - purdy please. Not trying to do a geek smackdown but you are beyond your knowledge zone.

DO NOT disable automatic updates unless you PROMISE and FAITHFULLY download and run them manually every few days when available. If you cannot successfully do that then keep auto updates.

ED:


Bandwidth speed is fine - don't worry about it.
Keep Auto Updates on
Make sure you defrag your hard drive twice and then once per month.
Don't go hunting around looking for what to turn on and turn off.
Have your computer run Virus scans at least once per week (I do daily at night)
Run Malwarebytes , updated, full scan. Free for home use.
You never shutdown and restarted in 10 seconds. Guaranteeeeeed ;)

AND, i do not like you condescending attitude towards my computer knowledge at all ..........

as i have been to the same school you went to only TWICE
and i have close to $5000 in computer books alone

i have never smoked CRACK-> didn't appreciate the reference

i said turn off auto updates (for now) to indicate and
see if this solves the (your) problem

!.) not turn them off forever- GEESCH

2.) they can be rescheduled to run when your not
using the PC like at 4: am

3.) i specifically mentioned ADOBE not the microsoft updates ||||which can be configured separately |||||

4.) i suggested he look at all programs running with a beautiful FREE program that i find extremely useful

5.) i KNOW your method for diagnosing computer slow-downs
is completely by the book using NO insightful or creative thinking - its samo samo MS 1,2,3,

Most people have WAY to many programs running in their start menu to begin with , so it's a logical place to EXPLORE

it's EXPLORING JOHN _learning to explore your personal computer....

LISTEN AND LEARN oh wizard of "Microsoft RULES"

sorry.................. if i
ILL advised one of your clients :fury:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOW i have to spend considerable time meditating away much hostility


...........................i'm outta here..................................

John...

How can I speed up my internet. My figures seem way too low. Tried to upload a 1.5gb video to Youtube (only 8 minutes long) and it's on hour 4.

Thanks!

Raven - I used "digitaL" and I used smileys:

I don't want to come across as condescending at all but you need to understand that sometimes your computer recommendations are not the best. Some of it is OK, some of it isn't. Some if it may be misleading.

!.) not turn them off forever- GEESCH
No need to turn them off, period. Much safer that way. Yes, there is a chance some patch will crash a system. BEST method is to autodownload but let YOU choose when to install. Only do this if YOU PROMISE to do them no longer if they are a week old (give others a chance to break 'em) AND you know there is not a patch fixing a critical vulnerability under major exploit at the time.
Servers different story but someone actively manages those.

2.) they can be rescheduled to run when your not
using the PC like at 4: am
Just leave autoupdate on.

3.) i specifically mentioned ADOBE not the microsoft updates ||||which can be configured separately ||||| Just keep it updated, and flash, and Java

4.) i suggested he look at all programs running with a beautiful FREE program that i find extremely useful
Half of beautiful free programs do more damage than they fix

5.) i KNOW your method for diagnosing computer slow-downs
is completely by the book using NO insightful or creative thinking - its samo samo MS 1,2,3,
Its not that way at all, I use more creative thinking than you can imagine but I've also been doing this professionally for 15 years for organizations from 5 people to 300 to 3,000.

We love you kid, but I can assure you my computer advice is superior. Gardening, farming? I gladly and quickly defer to you.

BobT - what do you have for Internet?

1.5GB is a HUGE file and you should probably process before uploading.

The new reality TV series sure to capture Nielson ratings of at least 0.00000001% viewers?

John -

I've got Verizon DSL. I know...not the best but Charter almost set my house on fire and I'll NEVER deal with them again.

How do I process a file?

No, no wars ;) , while I disagree with Rav on this one (and apparently he's pi$$ed at me) I'm not going to war with him unless we're side by side :love: .

How do I process a file?

Not sure what you made the movie with but you can probably process it with Windows Movie Maker for free (or Sony Vegas for a fee) and convert it to a smaller file and then upload it to Youtube (which then converts to FLV). The annual S-B movie is only 40-80MB in size and runs 20 minutes but the original, in HD, would be over 1GB in size and would be counter-productive to upload.

Yeah but the ones that watch are really hot chicks.:chased:

Well, in that case... :devil2:

John, I think you pissed Raven off enough that he's no longer visiting the site. If I had Raven's photoshop skills, I'd post a picture of his face on a milk carton.

Cox Cable cheapest option I belive you can pay more and get faster.
was 10X that when it was Cox@Home about 15 years a go. It was so fast then my friend who worked at Motorola on the original cable modems sent in a suggestion to a news robot software developer to add a 1 second pause between each file download just so we could see what it was downloading. It was just a blur without the 1 second delay. Now you got to watch the timers showing 5 or 6 seconds for the same kind of downloads.

It does seem that way. Think he tool it more than a little harder than it was meant to come across (there was smileys and all).

Maybe we should send him a please come home kiss :love: ?

(disclaimer: this post was not meant to be anything other than light-hearted to get our Raven back)

Hmm - PShop. Milk Carton.

Maybe after side work, which comes after Scouts, which comes after real work.

Your Forgiven SWEETY :love:

I did learn from a week of self banishment that i have
a deep resentment of MICROSOFT in general and it's because
i think they BLEW a golden opportunity to do good for the
world... in many ways.. but those are just my musings.

At the moment ...
I am eating steak because i am werkin like a mule.

I knew once somebody suggested that someone else take over the Photoshop duties....he'd be back :hihi:

Thank you, sir.

As for M$ , their good products AND bad products (often the line between is beyond blurred) have been more or less paying my mortgate for the 11 years I've owned a home. Their ability to do the dumb is consistent and troubling.

Evidence A:

Vista, W7, W2K8 WinSxS :wall: disk space suckupability factor.

Cox is still giving me problems.The Modem needs resetting close to 20 times a week.They came and ran some tests.Blamed the TV for noise in the line and installed a filter.If it was under my name it would be gone and replaced with fios.I pay for the fastest connection cox offers and their support is pretty bad.They keep trying to blame my router when the lights on the modem go out and blink.I unplug the modem for a few minutes and it fires right back up.They think everyone was born yesterday.They should include wired and wireless routers in their package like verizon so they only have themselves to blame for hardware failure.

Looks like the new service was announced yesterday: 105Mbs down/10Mbs Up but so far only selected cities. Note the cost!

Comcast, the largest U.S. internet-service provider, introduced a new home-broadband package Thursday, which can download files many times faster than most connections.
Comcast's Xfinity customers in some major cities can now buy the new service, called Extreme 105. The name (which sounds a little like a radio station) comes from its ability to reach speeds of 105 megabits per second.
At that speed, customers can download an album in three seconds or a high-definition movie in five minutes, Comcast said.
Currently, a popular residential internet plan from Comcast transfers data at one-seventh the speed of Extreme 105. It costs $30 a month at first, versus $105 for the Extreme plan, an introductory price that also requires the customer to have a bundle of television and phone service from Comcast.

it's ALL to slow mo ......

Cox Premier.

No Fios here yet don't see it coming any time soon either.

I've had Cox come out 4+ times this year for noise issues in the line and it still is not resolved...

Can't argue either.. Techies that came over had their hands tied all pointed to the pole...

I know there is a break in the line.. I have seen this before... as it is worse on windy and rainy days...

I am gaming and doing the on-line HD movies often so i kinda need the speed.

Comcast, new Arris SB6141 modem (own vs. rent now) + X1 Platform: DAMN that's fast. I really don't upload much, except fish pics so don't care about slow upload speed.

Thought I would also test the wifi speed, interesting I have a dual wifi 2.4/5Ghz Netgear wifi and intesting there is a speed differential. Maybe in the setup: I am probably 12-15ft from the 2.4GHz source but <5ft from the 5GHz in which I use a secondary amplifier which receives the 5GHz and rebroadcast in 2.4GHz.

Wifi testing done using a Galaxay 5S. Tested the 5GHz directly, 98Mbps! I am using the 5 when home... ;)
