pretty bad, today.. :-/

The closer you get to the test server the faster your overall speed will be... and on the other side of the coin, the further you are away from remote sites the slower an individual stream will be.

I recently upgraded my DSL from 1500kbps to "between 1500 and 8000kbps" and was disappointed to see that a speed test to Texas USA only showed a marginal increase to about 1700kbps... I just did a speedtest.net test to a local server and it's nearly pushing 6000kbps, which is MUCH better. :thumbsup

In other words... a single stream from TX will go at 1700kbps max, but I could start 3 of them and still have them going at the full 1700kbps each.

Here's a direct example of what I was rambling on about last msg

Exact same local link, but vastly different maximum speeds depending on the distance between myself and the remote network (9000m versus <50m)

Damn...I'm complaining to my isp

i just talked to my ISP and they have 25mb/s down load available for $100 per month ... but they are stull at 1mb/s upload .. who the hell cares about download when i need to upload stuff to my servers all the damn time ..anyone have info on line or site hosting .. ?? i have heard of up and down of 400mb/s with them ..

I'm on a 30MBPS, but i'm not getting anything near that right now.

WTF are you using to get those speeds .. dammit ..

im fastest dl so far for my ISP! wo0t wo0t

lol

did you run that test from a server?

Of course not.

$49.95/month for 2048/512. Blah.

On a positive note the ping ain't bad given the distance.
