oh... you should have put wifi then for your internet type (I should have been a lil less specific on the wireless internet types)

poop... something else I didnt think about . Benchmarks... sry. I meant just average joe-website, or torrent download speed. Heck I can clock mine @ 6.3mbps down and 2.5mbps up all day long, but it's not really what I am getting.

Vanilla 1.5Mbit DSL line,.. had the DSL "elite" 6Mbit but I don't need the speed... or want to pay the extra $$ for it ...:)

On a side note the ISP I work for provides a "standard" connection of 15.0 Mbits down 2.0 up or you can get the 30.0 down 5 up for an extra $10 bucks a month... too bad I'm not in the company's service area :(

hey gcninja are you sharing your connection with anyone ?? If your NOT ( and you're wired & not downloading anything) check for packet loss on your connection... same thing happened to me about a year ago ..took 3 techs to find out it was a faulty card in the UBR at the CO.

haha thats gotta suck, also h3% how is it i get better up but a shitty down?

and dr0p whats powerboost?

Well, that has alot to do with what the IP wants you to have at your disposal. They are probably on a plan with their trunk provider to get x up for $ and x down for $ and so they give a little more up to justify the price of the down. *because unless you run a server, it's obvious that you would not use near the ammount of down*

Wow now that sucks, but hey, it happens...

well, i was at the moment i think with one maybe another computer and yes, this is a wired one, its from me to my DD-WRT to my router.. where i live ive heard a rumor and still unsure, since im in the middle of no where our communications, which is what DSL uses (landline) all goes through a satellite (or multiple) dish(es) so it could be that. let me run it one more time this late

hre you are

Don't think i can live without my 10/10 Mbit/s fiber with no limit. And here in Norway i have to pay around 50 USD for it pr. month :)

Posted

The good: costs $20.

The bad: 1.5mbit download, 128kbit upload (how can anyone LIVE in these conditions?!)

The ugly: Pings are atrocious. Alas, the middle east is so far from civilization.

Adviertised 22MBps/5MBps average download is between 1.3-2.8MB/s depending on server. :D $64 would have the 50/10 package but thats $134... speedtest in sig

Posted

I get roughly about 75mbps download and about 40mbps upload. Thank god Dundee was one of the cities choses to test Fibre Optic Connections :D

(Id post a speed test but im on my iphone so cant use the flash speed test or copy and paste the code :( )

Powerboost is where they uncap your download speed for the first 0-10 seconds of a download so if you're downloading a small file it finishes almost instantly. Of course during peak times this isn't available but it's still nice to have late at night ^_^
