Test Your Connection Speed

[The Dude]

Whatever device you may be using - cable modem, ISDN connection, or dial-up modem. You can test it HERE (http://www.computers4sure.com/speed.asp)

My results: 2.4 Megs :)

[locustfurnace]

Your Speed is: 3448.9 Kbps

[straight talker]

29.6 Kbps i guess that explains why i dont appear much fulfilling requests, by the time i download a new version its an oldversion and the request already has 3 pages of replies

[Jaime Andrés]

Your Speed is: 430.2 Kbps

I have a 512 Kbps connection so I suppose one has to accept some loss of bandwidth somewhere down the line ?
Just out of interest my ISP Teléfonica, has just doubled the speed of all connections absolutely free of charge. I pay €uros 34/month for unlimited use (up and down).

[sigrs]

:rolleyes:

I connected at 685 kbps the first time and then only 340 kbps the 2nd time.

Lots of good info on these forums. Thank you.

u care to tell us how ?

[locustfurnace]

Sure, if you have an old box, with atleast a floppy drive, and 2 ethernet cards, your in business.
then just download this free program and write to a floppy disk, and you got yourself a powerful router.
FloppyFW (http://ttp://www.zelow.no/floppyfw/index.html)

another similar tool.

http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd.html


This works with a CD-R, adds more than the floppy routers

Office: Your Speed is: 2008.9 Kbps

Home: I bet is is a joke, probably 45 Kbps&#33;&#33;&#33; LOL, will test when I get home, and post. Going to DSL tomorrow. Hey, that spawns a question. Which is better, USB or ethernet DSL hook-up? My computer only came with USB ports, and I have been advised that purchasing a ethernet card for it shouldn&#39;t break my bank, but I don&#39;t feel the need to purchase anything, if I don&#39;t have to. I "googled" the comparison, and some sites are saying it is not particularly a big difference. Not sure if this was already a topic started on this forum. Thanks for any info.

[locustfurnace]

It doesn&#39;t really matter.
Ethernet is 10/100mbps
USB 1.0 is 11mbps
you DSL will be 1.5mbps or lower
You will have enough bandwidth by choosing either of them.

Thanks&#33; Does the USB connection use more computer resources?

[locustfurnace]

That would all boil down to the chipsets. Unless you were to spend a bit more for a Ethernet card for the best of the best. The average cards will most likely use the same as the USB.
As to how much, it is far less than any program.

dial up isnt that bad (LOL) it helps you get your old versions, you just start downloading the latest and greatest and by the time its finished its a well old version, i too have dial up but then we are in a position to believe that things can only get better

[Onehappygunner]

The best thing bout dial up here is that i get to scam AOL (sorry if thats deemed politically incorrect on this site :D ), been doing it for three years and never paid a cent for my net usage, still when it takes you 2 days to download a film it should be bloody free anyway lol

Thats a little better&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

I was worried when this site (http://us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/test_0600.asp) which usually gives me accurate readings told me 336kb&#33;&#33;&#33;

I was thinking huh????????? That cant be right.....

[The Dude]

Im on the XP computer upstairs right now thats ON THE MODEM ITSELF and i got 5119.8 (5.11Megs)

Im lucky if i get 3Megs in my room going over that crap router&#33;&#33;&#33;

And the stupid cable guy said "There wont be any speed loss"

Yeah right.......Routers blow,always have,always will...http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles/thedude/icon04.gif

You need a router to "route" your packets. They don&#39;t "blow" they &#39;route."
What you might have an issue with is the built-in packet filtering, just disable it.

If one box gets 5mbps, and the other only 3mbps, then check the cable, you might have a poor quality cat5 cable. Get a cat5e or cat6 cable instead. Also, you machine being windows 98 may need to be tuned alittle better.

Im going over a router here on MY computer and speed is lost unfortunetly....(Anything wireless will lose speed,etc.......)

I dunno,im just glad i have what i have!!!!!!! (Anything over 3 Megs is outstanding over this router i think)

Did you try changing the cable out? Does the cable sit next to any power cords?
What type of Ethernet card is in the win98 box?
Did you tweak the MTU and RWIN on the slower performing machine?

Check here for a howto,

http://www.inboost.com/speed-tweaks/cable-...dem-tweaks.html (http://www.inboost.com/speed-tweaks/cable-modem-tweaks.html)


If your using a Wireless link between the 2 machines, then YES, it will be a bit slower, since the speed rating on all devices in not RealWorld performance.
If you have any Flurescent lights in the room, it can create issues with anything wireless.

[The Dude]

Yes im aware of the light thing,this light in my room causes interference on my radio (Am band) when its on.....(Luckily,thank god, it doesnt interfere with my router connection)

[The Dude]

I just got a NEW router seeing as my old one broke (Not even a year old.....)

My speed is: 3709.1 Kbps (3.7 megs)

Very good............... (Boy did i have a hard time getting the new s/w installed......It wouldnt work right,my firewall would not run with the drivers loaded for the new router,etc... But i think and HOPE things are ok now)

[Apoorv]

My speed is 44326 kbps. yeah i think thats quite fast.

[The Dude]

I have a MINI ADAPTER now cause my NETGEAR one broke and this thing is worse than that was!! (Its smaller and doesnt get a good a signal from the modem 1/2 the time)

My results: 1142.9 Kbps

[pcblue]

Your Speed is: 13.2 Kbps

hmm. may b not bad! ;)

[The Dude]

I just tested now with my MINI adapter and i got 978.4 Kbps :(

I dunno if that site is me$$ed up now or what....It seems a bit slow (the results),i dunno.....

[brian10161]

my speed was 399.9kbps, but i tested my speedhere (http://support.primus.ca/en/dsl/speedtest.php) and got 1137.19kbps

if your getting a low speed, try testing it there, you might have better results ;)

-brian

PS: my first post, and i must say i love this site, best thing ever imo. i hope it doesn't go down, ever. :)

[The Dude]

It said 2.26 Mbps

But i doubt it.......Alot of things seem slow as hell right now (IM SICK OF THIS WIRELESS MINI ADAPTER I HAVE) http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles/thedude/icon04.gif

[whiteboypain]

mine was 515 Kbps

[The Dude]

I just tested from this site (http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk) and got:

[the gaffer]

dude thats bad i just got 4227 down and 833 up what package and provider you on,im on v.net and this pc is on a network i just put in,pm me if ya want details.

[The Dude]

Well im lucky to get that good!!!!

Im going over a router and my signal to the modem sucks alot of the time..... (The less signal i have,the slower speed i get obviously :()

[sweets]

that annoying pop up when I sign on telling me how many kppbs I used to sign on!

[The Dude]

I got 2.33 Megs from here (http://www.2wire.com/?p=154) :)

[The Dude]

I just tested from this site (http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk) and got:

2577k DOWN / 322k UPThe speed has been SO SLOW lately over time warner its not funny!!

I just tested from our XP upstairs and only got 2745k!!!!! (Its supposed to be 5 Megs down!!)

TIME WARNER SUCKS!! (No wonder its slow in my room..Its what i get normally IN MY ROOM up here tonight right on the modem!!)

This is what happens when you call for service,the scumbags make it worse!!! (Our cable modem was locking up quite often and they came and supposedly make the level better.......THE LEVEL IS WORSE!!! and the modem has locked up more than it did before they were here!!)

[sreeja]

What is the most reliable speed.

[aptom]

hi i live in england ye and my service provider is talktalk. made a very big mistake in choosing them, i have to pay £70 if i want to stop my contract and it is 4mbps for 2 mins then it drops down to bldy 10kbps slower than my last 56k modems dialup speed. I advise everyone dnt get talktalk get tiskali ye!!!:D :D :D :D

[the gaffer]

bad choice for sure,if you want a service thats absolutely second to none go virgin net mate i been with them since forever and have only ever had 1 problem with my connection back on dial up and the broadband is lightning quick and as reliable as a rolls royce.
