Here are my results

2003-01-18 21:57:54 EST: 3208 / 99
Your download speed : 3208982 bps, or 3208 kbps.
A 391.7 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 99230 bps, or 99 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Just as I thought, slow upload. But I can stream movies really good.

I got this...

"Sorry! your IP address 24.69.255.236, has now requested 16 applet loads, which is over the limit for today.
(If you are sharing this IP address with others (a web proxy server), and got this message immediately, please get a dslreports account and login so we identify you and avoid locking you out unfairly).

Due to overwhelming popularity of the test server, we have had to institute a temporary IP based cap to ease pressure on our partner test sites."

Somewhat like a blood pressure test, with a systolic and diastolic figure, eh?

A 197.3 KB/sec transfer rate.

Some of your guys's connection speeds smoked my connection speed! (and I thought mine was fast)

Your download speed : 1067099 bps, or 1067 kbps.
A 130.2 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 582637 bps, or 582 kbps.

This is with a 12mbs adsl connection, if I had known about this site two months ago, I could have tested my old 1.5mbs adsl line. I'll send the link to my friend who has a fiber optic line.

Robert Knecht Schmidt · January 19th, 2003, 10:46 AM

I routinely get around 1133/240 on my 1500/256 ADSL line.

John Locke · January 19th, 2003, 01:27 PM

Cool link, Jeff! I got:

2003-01-19 14:18:20 EST: 1094 / 681
Your download speed : 1094744 bps, or 1094 kbps.
A 133.6 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 681895 bps, or 681 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Looks like most you guys have me beat on download speeds..but with uploading speed looks like I'm the uncontested upload dude.

Jeff Donald · January 19th, 2003, 01:31 PM

I was reading somewhere on that site that overseas connections may show slower speeds because of the distances and their test servers. You and Rik are probably actually faster.

Jeff

1805/164

Unfortunately I have yet to find any servers that can push data to me fast enough to even use more than about 200-300k so I guess it isn't too bad of a connection. I used to have a 6mb line but that was severe overkill.

Our download is locked @ ~170k/sec by the ISP....damit <;~)
But, that lock is per IP addy......I have 6 IP's (1 of which is an Xbox)
