Speed Test, Kinda neat

[Badger]

I'm at Download=47
and at Upload=101 so is this good,bad,mediocre or would Pony Express be faster.

Ray ...

Are you on an old dial-up connection, or is that being sold to you as high speed?

If it's high speed, can you re-run the test and make sure you're not missing posting a couple of digits on the 47?

Comcast Net USA and have always had good performance.

Sorry ... I checked and there's no way to turn on EDITS after Gloria's 60 minute restriction, just for a specific forum...

Comcast does OK.

Both you guys with Comcast get great performance ...

Is it cable or DSL? Do you mind me asking what you pay for this level of service?

Thanks ...

Badger,

It's cable but in an old neighborhood with old wiring. We are told they are upgrading the lines (probably lying to us ). The new speed increase was supposed to be in effect two weeks ago but I haven't rebooted the cable modem since then. I'll do that shortly and post back. I have three computers on the router so I'll shut the others down and try again. Cost combined with and HDTV digital cable hookup is about $105 a month.

That's pretty darn good ...

We pay well over $220/month for our Bell ExpressVu Satellite TV (similar to Direct TV in U.S.) and DSL (supposedly 8 megabit/sec) high speed Internet service.

They may be upgrading from "copper" to "optical" on your cable, which is what they did in our old neighborhood when we used cable TV Internet access and the speed did get better.

*Can't sustain this consistently, much lower average from three other attemps is about 6300 download. Maybe they did upgrade the wire but it looks the same outside to me. We are allegedly on the "end" of their lines, at least that's the excuse they always give us and optical transition is supposed to be in the works. We'll be the last to get it. However, I'm not complaining, the service has been very good for years.

I know I can get better late at night when the networks aren't as clogged such as on a Saturday afternoon.
