What's your up/download speed?

this is mine (italy) :

in italy there is a very little upload transfer rate :'(

Maragil · August 24, 2009, 05:48:29 PM

At least you have a higher download speed.

How much your internet connection? (mounth) Is flat (24h/24h or "@connection_time"?
In italy is about 20€/mounth for flat connection.

mwoodburn81 · August 24, 2009, 07:24:39 PM

However, those numbers are a lie. My ISP has a service call "Speed Boost" Which allow small downloads to go really fast. Which basically fools speed tests into thinking my internet connection is better than it really is. I more typically get somewhere between 6down/0.5 up and 8 down/1.0 up for larger/longer downloads.

Zeno · August 24, 2009, 07:28:47 PM

A spanish connection, it's slow and quite expensive; it's 42€/month while you can find better connections at 30€ aprox., but it's still far much more reliable than competitors. Three or four years ago this company was the only option, and was same price for 1 Mbit. Really sucks >:(

VS · August 24, 2009, 08:42:02 PM

Wow, that price really does suck. What I posted costs about half (after conversion), with free router and IP phone adapter, and did I mention zero cost calls within network? Actually this is at my grandma's

I guess they can keep the price so low when they connect blocks of flats, some 30 households in one go...

What I have at home is slightly slower and without these perks, but still good. Telefonica as well.

Yeah, that price also includes spanish calls. But you've to add about 15€ more for line mantainance costs... per month!!!

Telefonica? Good luck for you.

We know Telefonica very well here in my state (State of São Paulo, Brazil). >_>

ANATEL (National Agency of Telecommunications) prohibited Telefonica from selling the Speed (an Internet booster used to speed up dial-up connections) due to constant service breakdowns in whole state; besides a very bad telephone service. A state of 35,000,000 inhabitants is suffering in Telefonica's hands.

Particularly, I pay ~US$40 for a 300kbps radio connection, I don't use and don't want to buy Speed because I don't want and don't need a telephone where I live. A mobile is enough for me.

Mine is good enough for what I need. 200GB/month cap.

jamespetts · August 24, 2009, 10:02:34 PM

Not bad.

Aglezabad · August 24, 2009, 10:07:06 PM

Better 5.53 Mb/s than 56 kb/s.

mine is:

Isaac Eiland-Hall · August 25, 2009, 04:23:00 AM

Little bit faster than I normally see... 250GB/mo cap, which is not bad for the US. $55/mo, and that's only because I also have cable. It'd be $75/mo otherwise.

The US lags behind many places, which is frustrating.

KrazyJay · August 25, 2009, 06:47:09 AM

Combuijs, you'll probably live in Son & Breughel, connected by KPN Glasvezel, bronze triple play for 65 Euro/month? I can't see any ADSL2+ connection offering you this speed.

Here's mine, I got VDSL2 but watching HDTV (IPTV) right now, they sold it as a 12mbit line, which only reaches that speed with not watching TV.

Well spotted! Though the village is called Son & Breugel and it's silver triple play for 15 more. No BBC 1 and 2 unfortunately, which is the major drawback. I confess, 34Mb is a bit overdone, on most websites you won't reach (and need...) that speed.

After reading this thread I wanted to test a Virtual Private Server I have access to, but since I only have remote ssh access, I don't have access to a web browser with flash, so I googled, "bandwidth test using lynx" and I came across the suggesting to run, "wget http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test" from the command line.

So I did, and here are the results:

Code Select

That is 670.24 MBps! A traceroute shows I am only five hops from cachefly, and more than likely in the same building as them.

I did one from work too, but they only have a 10meg leased line so it wasn't that impressive :p

Only 10meg from an ADSL/Telecoms company (google

No, Andrews + Arnolds is a telecoms company

Wow, it is higher on the download but not upload.

No wonder, uploading takes a longer time for me!
