Cable Internet Users

poldim · 09-20-2007, 06:09 PM

I find my internet working well at times, and blowing fat [insert noun] at others.

Speed test results:

What are yours like?

orangepeelforest · 09-20-2007, 06:52 PM

thats always been the big problem with cable. the more people online downloading porn, the slower your connection is going ot be.

533ogetnom · 09-20-2007, 06:58 PM

keep in mind thats bits not bytes

also i never really liked speedtest since they dont really allow the necessary number of connections and length to test your true dl speed

im about 850 KB/s and that site tested me at 790 KB/s, and i know as i have a monitor running 24/7 that my speed is 850

My internet service advertises 7Mb down and 512Kb up. It looks like its pretty close.
