How fast is your connection?

[Syf]

Ok, this here is a simple little thread. I want to know "how fast your connection is. This is just for fun.

The link to "Officially" test your speed.
http://www.speedtest.net/

We can all thank Hellkite for the link! Thanks HK.

So here's mine:


Edit: Added my updated speed rating.



So, who is the fastest of us???

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Hm.... not me. But my upload is better than your's, my friend

 

[Hellkite]

but not as fast as my upload Intrepid
and Im not to far behind Syf in Download eider


your welcome Syf

 

[Syf]

See, this is fun.

 

[Hellkite]

that it is

It's like Drag racing

 

[Syf]

Digitally speaking, it is.

For those that don't have a highspeed connection, this is nothing more than just for fun. As one can see, just because you have a rocket download speed, doesn't mean your slow on the upload speed. Just think the higher your upload spead is, the faster you can bid on EBay.

 

[Hellkite]

that and game play it helps

 

[Syf]

indeed, it helps.

Anyone else want to let us know how fast you are?

 

[TM150]

Mine is pityful

Another try

So? is pityfull isn't?

 

[Elrond]

 

[Hellkite]

well Elrond has warp drive

:Y

mustbe grate to be a web host

 

[Syf]

:Y :Y :Y

Ok show off!

Unless anyone else has a higher speed, then Elrond is the Drag...er, King!

 

[Majestic]

Here is my current one.


Here is my one from the other day.


As you can see, its pretty slow today. But still no match for "The King" Elrond.

 

[Elrond]

LoL and it's just standard Comcast Cable, except the 2nd tier version (Comcast Workplace).

So it means when something messes up on the internet, it'll mess up 50 times faster.

 

[Syf]

In my area, you're lucky to have a 3mbit connection. So, I'm one of the lucky ones. But they are laying new groundwork for uping that upto a max of 64mbits

 

[Harrie]

I ran another one with a different city

 

[Syf]

Excellent speed there Harrie. But still no one else so far can touch Elrond, the speed king.

 

[TM150]

Whit some luck you get 1m

 

[Syf]

Don't feel too bad TM. Maj and a few others are running slower connections too. This thread is just to let us see what your connection speed is. there are no real points or rewards for the fastest. It's all good. Your here, and that is what matters.

Elrond gets to be called the speed king, just because his connection is greater than half the members here on MSFC combined.

I am using this thread for us to have an understanding of the connections. There will be mods for games like Armada here on MSFC in the near future. So if our members start a clan of sorts, they can look here to get an idea as to what to expect the bandwidth to be like in a multiplayer challenge.

 

[Elrond]

Here's test #2.

 

[Majestic]

Here's test #2.

Now your just showing off.

 

[Syf]

Rubbing it in a bit?

 

[TM150]

Here's test #2.

Ok that is torture

 

[Majestic]

Bump I know.

Here's test #2.

How I envy you, I just gave it another shot after all this time and here is what I got.

Hopefully people will now understand why it takes me over four hours to upload a file over 150mb.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

LoL and it's just standard Comcast Cable, except the 2nd tier version (Comcast Workplace).

lol, mine's just reg Comcast...

 

[Borg_Queen]

First test:



Second test from a different city:

 

[Creed]

after years of the wilderness i have moved into town... the net varies a lot depending on the load but this is what it is now...

 

[Majestic]

Seems I have the slowest connection compared to everyone who has tested their speed and posted in this thread. Ironic isn't it.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Aye, just a little bit, I can't imagine doing what I do here on your connection Majestic, my FTP is horrible, despite what that says...

 

[Paulhanselluk]

I wish I could get a better conection, but iam stuck with a local company who have a monopoly on it (Karoo) and wont let BT in, so I cant get the better speeds :x

Test 1 (Maidenhead)


Test 2 (London)
