Cool Link: the speed of your internet connection.

[Semper Gumby]

I have a 21 MBPS download and a 4.1 MBPS upload speed from Comcast.

I guess its OK.   8-)

Its faster than mine. I get around 4mbs down and 2mbs up

21Mbps is seriously fast I have 6Mbps at home and only 10Mbps for our whole school network with up to 500 users on at the same time. We are upgrading to 20Mbps later this week.

Ed!  How did you do that???

SG, there's a button under your results that says "Forum Link".

I pressed that and pasted the contents of my scrap book (Windows) into the message place, and amazingly it worked.  I was surprised too.

Mine is 3.88 Mbps down, and 0.73 Mbps up on my DSL line (home)

[msbuck]

So what exactly is all this telling us???  :-/  Is this good or bad?

Although, I'm happy with my performance, so what does it matter?

[Bob_Roller]

The higher the numbers, the faster uploads and down loads will occur .

I've tried it at different times of the day, and when it's 'rush hour' on the information superhighway, speeds go way down .

Not too bad, but it picks a server on the opposite side of the country to me for testing. Adelaide is about 3000kms from Darwin.

OK so today its not so good!



I'll be ....  IT WORKED!

The upload is amazing!

BTW have you noticed that we all live exactly 50 miles away from our connections?

Those icons before the number,  ~ 50 is approximately 50 miles, < 50 is less than 50 miles .

Oops! I didn't notice the signs just the number.
