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?

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

Your upstream result was very slow! .. not good

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.

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

Cool link, Jeff! I got:

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

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.

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)

1829/down
263/up

Can't complain

Geeze, I thought mine was slow. I guess it's alright.

This is the result of my friend's Hikari Fiber line, I thought it would be a lot faster. I guess I won't upgrade for awhile, I hear the prices are going down and the places you can get it are becoming more widespread, although there is also a 2 month waiting list to get one of those lines. maybe next year they will have some really fast connections available.

I redid my test,

Your download speed : 1042528 bps, or 1042 kbps.
A 127.2 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 715947 bps, or 715 kbps.

he paid about $360 to install it and it's about $20 more a month, I'll definitely wait on the upgrade.

I just got my fiber optic line installed yesterday at my house, ran the test today(San Francisco site) and I have 2341 kpbs up and 1856 kpbs down. This is 3 times faster than my old DLS connection.

I ran a test to a server in Tokyo and I got this:
28184.93kbps(28.184Mbps) 3522.55kB/sec

uploading and downloading stuff to my iDisk is great now, before it would take forever to upload a 20mb file.

now there is no installation fee and it costs about the same as the DSL line.
