Speed Test!

[Ethan]

It's been a while since I have seen one of these threads.
Let's go!

[323]

Fuck my life, I hate these threads and I hate Wowway

Get on my level



Lol, and when I'm NOT torrenting (Forgot I had that downloading)



This is my national grade: F- (2%)

Whoo hoo, fuck this shitty internet. Fastest download speed I've ever gotten is 256kbps

[Ethan]

A F-!!!!!!!!!!
That is impressive! Hahaha.
But don't even worry, I probably won't even have internet when we move haha.

[Stapled]

Not sure why my ping is 20, it's usually ~5.

You and your download speed........

[VonSidia]

I got bad upload D:

[Artificial]

I'd trade some of that download for upload speed.

[Elliot]

You and your download speed........

One time it went to 300Mb/s. I'll try and find the screenshot. But that only lasted for two days.

Edit: Found it

I'm thinking about getting that google fiber once I relocate back to New York.

That fucking upload, hahaha.

At my school, if you go on at night when no one else is on, speed test reports around 400Mbps download and 100Mbps upload. It's so fucking fast. I go to robotics meetings there at night, so I'm always torrenting and downloading shit at those speeds, and I can normally download at least three or four movies by the time the hour meeting is over.

[Ethan]

Jesus fucking shit. I would back-up all of my shit if I had 100Mbps upload.

What happens when I exhaust my allocated data allowance:

That's what happens to me if someone is my house is downloading.

I'm assuming you mean kBps, since the listed speed is already practically 256kbps.

[Smithno13]

No choices for faster internet here. Guess it's not the worst.

[Use]

lololol

your isp is called.... cox?

[Smithno13]

Cox Internet! I didnt know they were still around. I had that ISP when I was a kid. Wish I still had the email address I had from it, lots of accounts linked to it.

[GAMEchief]

Got an F+ with 4.1mbps download.

Oh well. It's fast enough for gaming.

[Omlett]

My god, I hate how they always offer 20 down and 1 up, I would rather have 20 up than 20 down. I would never lag.

I'm pretty sure games download more data than they upload, e.g. the position of every other player in a server being downloaded versus only your position being uploaded.

But up speeds could definitely be improved. I guess there is some physical limitations, but I wish up and down were shared. 21mbps for whichever you happen to be using the most at the time.

[Artificial]

Well in most instances the average consumer would require far faster download rates then they would update rates (which is why they throttle the two, because there's only so much combined bandwidth the systems can handle), so it makes sense. However, at least in Australia there are certain ISPs that will allow you to have some control over the ratio of how much of each is throttled. i.e. the company I used trk for had greater upload then download speeds (as arranged with the ISP), because we'd spend most of our time developing locally and pushing up to remote servers.

edit: also, new billing period, back in the game!

[GAMEchief]

I get the technological restriction of how download+upload can't both be 20mbps if you only have 20mbps bandwidth possible, but I'm not sure as to why you can't have 20 in either one as needed, such that if you were uploading without downloading, you'd upload at 20mbps. If you were both uploading and downloading, 10mbps each, and if you were just downloading, 20mbps download.

i.e. IDK why they throttle the down/up speeds individually instead of the combined down/up speed.

A lot of it actually does have to do with the market. Like I said, your average consumer is going to want faster downloads then uploads, so they can roll that as as the bulk/standard plan. The 1% are going to be for services like data centers, web/email servers etc., where the ISPs know they can offer a 'premium' service for an additional price.

Arti does you home internet throttle you?!?! damn that's rough

Australian Internet is inferior like all other Australian things.

I get my speed capped at 200gb. I believe America has recently started doing the same.

Hmmm that sucks. How fast do you go through that?

[Artificial]

I would rarely go through 200gb in a month. That's the first time I've hit it in quite a while.

Yeah that's a ton of data. What did you do to use it all so quickly?
