    Speed Test, Kinda neat

    My results were:

    Download= 1978

    Upload = 691

    Which I thought were pretty good until I did the comparison test for my area and there the download speed did not compare well.

    How about you guys?

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Thumbs up

    Just in case people missed it elsewhere as to what Ken is referring to .....

    To help users who want a better idea of how fast their Internet speed is, we've added a new item called Speed Test (click here) to our menu bar.

    Remember.... this doesn't tell you how fast your Internet connection is to our web site directly, but rather how fast your computer is connecting from it to the Internet. Your ISP may provide different levels of performance base upon what you pay for.

    Of course, the higher your connect speed to the Internet, it follows you should see better performance connecting here.

    In the spirit of Ken's posting, we're getting from our home computer:

    Download = 5015

    Upload = 426
    We're using Bell Canadaicon's Sympatico home DSL service and only receiving part of the speed we are paying for, which is supposed to be 8 megabits/sec.

    When complaining to them, they boosted it from 3 megabits/sec that we were getting to the 5 megabits you see above, but said that's all we they could give us because of our distance from the central office.

    Our only other choice would be dial-up at a lowly 56kb/sec, since we can't get cable broadband high speed here where we moved to. We had cable at our old house and were getting over 5 magabits/sec on it.

    You guys should run the speed test, then check with your ISP to see what they say you should be getting based upon what they're charging you. If it's way too slow on the speed tests compared against their billing charges, then take it to them demanding they get their buns out and fix it.

    Thanks for posting this Ken. I think a lot of members should take advantage of it to make sure they're not getting screwed by their ISP's.

    Regards,
    Badger

    Comcast Net USAicon and have always had good performance. We are alleged to have increased speeds now with a cable modem reboot but unfortunately I can't "edit" later to update speeds if it's true. Can you make an exception to this thread for "edits?"

    Question Speed???

    I am paying too much and only getting 1000 kbps or only 1/3 the kpbs that I should be getting. Repeated complaints to the ISP and they shrug it off and say it is because we have old telephone wiring and that is the best that it gets. There is no cable and I know the telephone wire was laid in 1998. A dish is much more expensive ($100/Mo.). 1,000 isn't very good but it is a heckuva lot better than dial up.

    Question. Is there any way to improve these figures, different computer, more RAM etc?

    Ray,

    I'm not picking on you but if your connection was any slower, you would be going backwards!

    USPS Priority Mail would 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?

    Regards,
    Badger
