Show off your speed

[AntimatterAsh]

It has been on the news that my area is one of the wrost areas in Britain for internet speed but there is a speed above that's slower at 0.65MB.

Atleast you dont live in this area...at peak times we get 0.03mbps download.

In the mornings though, we get this:


So I guess it is not too bad. Our internet fragments alot though sometimes which makes downloading things like Linux time consuming and stressful as rarely do the iso files actually work. There always seems to be an error in the installation somewhere...
The packetloss will not show though as I dont have java enabled.

Isn't this DL speed impossible on a 3 down connection? This is at 5 in the afternoon.

 

[WeatherMan]

That is 2.5Mb/s down, i.e 320KB/s Which is perfectly right, I got confused when I see 2.5MB/s transfer with an 1 1/2 Hour ETA on a 2GB file

Ah. Confusing stuff. I got used to seeing 300-400 kb/s and thought 2.5MB/s was a huge jump.

At work lol. Not enough speed for me though

Yeah, I agree, could be much, much faster. Lol!

I'd give my left nut for speeds like that!

Slow!

Joking obviously. 94MB/s download, that's more than 13 times faster than my download speed and 72MB/s upload is more than 72 times my upload speed.

My speeds should be about 7MB/s down and about 650KB/s up, but it's slower today for some reason.

For some reason when I try to connect to a server in Norwich which is 10 miles away, SpeedTest brings up some sort of 'Latency Error', so I have to connect to a server in London instead which is about 100 miles way.

Sprint's looking better lol

Comcast upgraded my speed today... yippee

 

[CrazyMike]

Google Fiber can't come fast enough! I also wish I could lower my ping.

It's an improvement isn't it Ashley?

 

[M1kkelZR]

Yeah, I agree, could be much, much faster. Lol!

Indeed, should be at least 1GB/s Download and 700mb/s upload

I'd give my left nut for speeds like that!

I would as well, I only have like 60mb/s download and 6 mb/s upload at home

Yah Shaw isn't my favorite..

 

[Intel_man]

What internet packages are you using with shaw?

 

[AntimatterAsh]

Welcome to Suffolk.

 

[spirit]

That's pretty bad Ashley. I'm only 30 or so miles away from you and getting better speeds.

Welcome to urban Norfolk (believe me, rural is much worse!)

 

[CrazyMike]

What internet packages are you using with shaw?

Broadband 100

$ 85 00* /MO
500 GB
100 Mbps† Download
5 Mbps Upload

That's what I have.

EDIT: Should probably mention that my internet is very unstable. Meaning that at any given time I can drop down to 50Mbps. Shaw is saying it's due to the amount of construction in my area (newly developed area), but i just call bull and the fact is they are just screwing me around. Not much other choices though.
