What Speed are You Connected?

Whew even that is 100x slower than what I was using at my house I must have been really spoiled. I can understand now what people go through that have slower connections... even slower dial up connections.

Well this is called the high speed broadband connection here and we are supposed to be very proud to have one of these connections.

Yeah it is amazing how many people have 'broadband' and it is like having two or three modems hooked up to your computer. BUT if it does what you need it to do then that is enough right?

For Roadrunner that sounds about 10X slower than what it should be. Although in their defense they were never known for the fastest internet but when I had them they were very reliable. The download speed is not TOO bad but upload speed is too slow. You might want to have that checked out (try a couple other speed test sites first) because if you are doing videoconferencing or something where you are uploading (video to YouTube or even Pictures to Wal-Mart to have them developed), you are going to have slow-going of it.

I am seriously considering cable for them. Hughs.net is offering a pretty sweet deal (no equipment to buy) and since he uses his computer for business he can write off the monthly charge.

Wow, I wish my connection speed was that fast! :P Just look at my response below...UGH! LOL

That is VERY fast down and ok speed (still fast) up. It means if you are receiving something you can get it very quickly (provided the other side is just as fast or faster and if you are sending then it is a lot slower

That is quite fast enough actually. To get faster I don't know you would notice any difference unless you actually were downloading huge files like movies. Thanks for the post Zelo

I am just now seeing how hard it is and how much time is wasted from dial-up service when I have service at my house that is so much faster. I hope that you are able to get broadband in the near future 'cause nobody should have to browse the internet w/dialup. Thanks for your response.

Haven't found anyone that is close to those numbers and now I am stuck on dial-up for four days... my cell phone is faster than this... oh well. I will make due. To all my friends out there you will notice that there will be less posts because of this... apology in advance. Zelo

Remember it is the test between one server and another so if it is slow somewhere between that server you chose and your computer you are going to get a slower reading.
