Yeah I hate my DSL....I want my cable back.

I had 20,000 kilobytes/sec download speed and just over 900 upload.

But if I did it now I'd get about 6 and 6 =\ (net got slowed ftfl)

Pretty much the same as MrCracker, probably since we're using the same isp and probably close. I got better results connecting to the san francisco server though, maybe the NY one is busy.

Yay! I no longer have the slowest download speed on the planet.



Now maybe if everyone calls the phone and cable company we can convince them to run their lines down my road.

meh lol

I love this game

I just upgraded to Verizon FiOS a month or so ago:



It used to be much, much worse. My max upload went from 50kb/s to 225. Hellz yeah.

Yep, my ISP suck bad. They won't fix my line problem, and I don't want to move ISP's any time soon (if I do I'll be 2 weeks or however long it takes to change ISP's without the internet, and with v6 just opened etc, that's not possible).

And I'm paying for 8mb/s down and 512kb/s up, which one is true?

My 8mb line, with the exchange less than 5 mins away, can't beat Orange.

wow thats a lot of slow connections out there.

I thought mine was decent. '

i thought mine was

bit slower this morning

HOLY CRAP BENJE! does yours say 88518? My lord. What's that like 10 megabytes a second? a movie in 70 seconds?* (roughly)
I wish we had that speed in australia. Darn fast rest of the world!

jojodungy

Extremely variable though, sometimes I struggle to get 300

must of been a spike before as its leveled out now;

Playing supreme commander online must be easy for you guys!

I feel slow against all these other Comcast customers, why is mine so much slower? do you guys have the business plan or something.

Here's mine:

Average I suppose =p

Okay that's it, I'm convincing my mom to get comcast...

I heard Comcast is throttling BitTorrent(on digg I think) so I'd reconsider if you care about that.

Yea they also have a hidden limit that they wont tell anyone what it is but if you go over it they will send you a letter and cancel your account.

I get on avg 275 downloading speed and 170 uploading speed

Just got the following at speakeasy's test
Download Speed: 17618 kbps (2202.3KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1792 kbps (224 KB/sec transfer rate)

Bah...I miss Cable Internet.
Your speeds?

oh i need cable bad like haha ... andys connection is on fire haha ...






oh ... u on cable ?

so whats the best?
high numbers, or less?
im confuzzled.

High numbers!

theres mine.

Apart from ping, a low ping is better.

I did one from the three local servers to me, it says tampa was the recommended one, but miami has a WAY better ping. So I dunno



I hate Embarq (Sprint DSL, they changed their name) We used to have cable through Road Runner, and it was so much faster, and we don't have any other options, comcast bought out Road Running in our area and Verizon FIOS doesn't cover our area (because embarq has this market). So it's pretty much a monopoly here but can't be considered one since you have a choice, gay fast Cable or cheaper okay DSL.

Flaketastic!

yeeeeeeeah mate! did that test @ work

Nice.

Now do it at home. :-D

Alex - I just want to make it clear that you should verify his claims before giving out any personal information, the fact that they ask for it at all is peculiar. If you do want a resolution, approach their support through the normal channels, using information provided on Embarq's website, not that in the below post.
