Fastest download speed! But look at my shit upstream. I'm hoping FiOS comes to my town soon so I can get 2000kb/s upstream and oh 15000kb/s downstream. Comcast gives me ultrafast downloads but easily the worst down/upstream ratio of any ISP I've seen to date. Even 1:10 would work nice, but no I get some 1:55 ratio here.

Funny thing I live only several miles away from Portland yet I get pings of over 100 while San Jose gives me pings of under 50

I see now one's beat my near 20000Kbps download speeds. Still I only get those speeds when downloading a 1-2MB patch or something else stupidly small. I'd be willing to get even 3000Kbps if my connection had a synchronous upload/download bandwidth.

I'm curious to see how someone with 56K would fare with this speed test.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Probably around 56kbps down.
In reality that's rarely the case, with packet compression boosting alleged bandwidth (up to 2-3x more in some cases) and line conditions doing the opposite, it can be hard to know for sure what down/upstream speeds you'll get.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Comcast FINALLY got to upgrading my upload speed. And damn what an upgrade! Maybe I won't ditch them so soon after all.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

For a broadband ISP, that's decent. But for Bittorrent, you could do a lot better (trust me I know ).

Oh yeah if you use Cable, make sure to unplug your modem (from a power source) every month or so. When it powers back on, if they upped your bandwidth the modem will register it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

How long should it be unplugged for?
One minute is what they recommend, I was quite surprised when the increased my speed a few days back after I did this for an unrelated reason/

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
