Here's a different one for a comparison.

503.1 kbps

is this good? LOL

May the Force Be With YOU!!
Up to $0.90 a minute!!Also taking broker apps!
You too can be Vectorized!!

962K. Not bad for $56/month.

I get the feeling that these sites are attempting to sell a lot of new DSL connections.

My cable modem's speed according to Lens's link: 877.6 kb/s
According to Amp's link: 255 kb/s

The thing of it is, I've been on the phone with DSL users, and have tested our load speeds simultaneously to a variety of websites including some hosted in Europe, and guess what?
That's right, no DSL is as fast as the cable modem. Don't be fooled by these "testers" because they're comparing your speed with the DSL's MAX speed. How often do you think you'll see max throughput on a $30/month DSL?

You 529.9 kbps

2wire.com:
Bandwidth = 263.4 Kbps
quite a bit different

as far as i know, my connection handles only 300k/sec

fuck! press refresh!

28.8 Modem 28.8 kbps
33.6 Modem 33.6 kbps
56k Modem 53.3 kbps
64k ISDN 64 kbps
128k ISDN 128 kbps
384k DSL 384 kbps
768k DSL 768 kbps
1.5Mb DSL 1.5Mb
You Infinity kbps

!!!!!

That actually happens alot HQ. We used to use the meter on 2Wire's site every day when I worked for AT&T... sometimes the code behind it gets jacked up. (but it looked good to the customers!) http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/biggrin.gif

Damn only like 275k, on a DSL connection. I feel cheated!

Ahhhh Yeahhh!!!

1854.5 kbps on Lens
1217.9 Kbps on Amps

I only pay $30 a month too http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/smile.gif

I live right next to some fiber optic line or somthing...(I dont know much about that stuff) But I guess it's real fast!

you can also try the tests at
http://www.dslreports.com/stest

I got

** Speed 4145(down)/383(up) kbps **
(At least 82 times faster than a 56k modem) of course I pay almost $200 a month for that speed, but it's worth it http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/smile.gif


Tim

345.3 kbps on cable connection,

Andre

Yea baby!

915.8 kbps

450 KB/s on a cable connection ...

Tim, thanks for that extra test link.
My results there are:

From the SJC location: Speed 1733(down)/638(up) kbps

And from the LA location: Speed 934(down)/634(up) kbps

I've never had a complaint with my cable modem yet, it's always fairly quick so I suppose I'll stick with it.

No matter how many times the DSL companies use the word "dedicated", there is simply no way in hell that they are going to give you a 1.5 Mb/s dedicated digital connectivity for $30 bucks a month. No way, no fucking how. T1 is the only such connection I know of that delivers that amount of dedicated throughput, and T1 costs a hell of a lot more than 30 bucks a month, more like $2K per month.

According to whatis.com, individual DSL connections will provide from 1.544 Mbps to 512 Kbps downstream and about 128 Kbps upstream

The actual bandwidth for Internet service over a cable TV line is up to 27 Mb/s on the download path to the subscriber with about 2.5 Mb/s of bandwidth for interactive responses in the other direction. However, since the local provider may not be connected to the Internet on a line faster than a T-carrier system at 1.5 Mb/s, a more likely data rate will be close to 1.5 Mb/s.

Here's a good reference table for those that are interested in learning more about speeds of the various connectivity out there today: http://searchnetworking.techtarget.c...214198,00.html

By the way, a few years back when I started, the biggest pipe on that chart was OC-12 (622 Mb/s)
Now look at it, there's OC-256 (over 13 GIGA-bits per second!!) You could run a whole continent on that.

Lens 2147.4 kbps
Amps 1351 Kbps

39.95 Canadian Eh.

Test running..........
** Speed 489(down)/2803(up) kbps **
(At least 9 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.

mmmm i think i'm fucked...
what do i need 2479k up for???

i'm from europe so maybe the lines are variable or something.

Maybe I'm missing something simple, but I couldn't get Lensman's test to run.

Amp's link test run #1:

Status:
Test completed...
Bandwidth = 1651.8 Kbps

Amp's link test run #2:

Status:
Test completed...
Bandwidth = 1196.5 Kbps

Amp's link test run #2:

Status:
Test completed...
Bandwidth = 1062.5 Kbps

(Shaw Cable in Canada, $45 to $50/month.)

I personally don't think this data is very reliable, and the fastest transfer rate I have achieved downloading has been about 550 Kbps

1006.2 kbps

You 1483.6 kbps not bad

DSL does not work on fiber, must be copper

too hard trying to sent dual frequencies to one location when it is all coming in single file like it does with glass

this is also why cable modem is faster than DSL, because cable modem does ride on glass, and glass much faster than copper

------------------

allmost the same for me. From Lensman link I got 189kbps and from amp link I got 184kbps

36.6 for me.

This area makes me sick. Closest high speed access is about an hour's drive away. The firemen around here still show up with just a bucket of sand and an axe.

you can always get high speed connections
http://www.starband.com/
an option is there is no cable or DSL


People try to say DSL is better than cable because you have "DEDICATED LINE"..IMHO biggest misconception.. sure its dedicated but just like cable,,it is SHARED once it hits the telco facility..

not to mention all the downtime DSL gets..it just so sensitive line,,, it even goes down when you have certain cordless phones
