[Artha]

2.5 mb/s download speed

[Mint]

How do you check what the speed is? I have DSL but that's all I know.

[Artha]

Just do a google search for download speed test.

[Marl]

[Mint]

Not sure if this is fast or not:

381 kilobits/second download speed.

[Mistomeer]

Home: 2mb or so down Not sure up
Work: 90mb up and down or 1.5mb up or down, depending on which pipe I'm using at the time

I feel your pain. I did a little test thing like Artha recommended and this is what it said..

Communications 31 kilobits per second
Storage 3.8 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 4.5 minutes
Subjective rating Slow

:( I don't think it liked me.

[Bobmuhthol]

I have an advertised 5MB/sec, but I'm on a home network so my bandwidth is sucking dick. It averages out to about 700kb/sec.

That's a movie download every 2-3 hours... which is about right.

[imported_Kranar]

Can't wait to get back to my university though, where I could download a movie in 5 minutes flat.

God I can't wait to get back to school.

I won't even post my download speed.

[Latrinsorm]

I got 2120 kbps, which doesn't really seem right, because everything is so damn slow. Web pages routinely fail, and it might just be WinMX, but I've never seen (sustained) much higher than around 20 kbps.

really? shit, fastest I;ve seen mine go is like... 500 kb/s. My penis is huge, and it's got girth.

I'm on a rather large home network though.. so this connection is sucking balls. I have a 1mb/s modem.. and if all the other comps are shut down, i go rather fast online. But I would only consider my computer speed to be average-ish.

<< really? shit, fastest I;ve seen mine go is like... 500 kb/s >>

Don't confuse 500 KB/s with 500 kb/s. The fastest you've seen your connection go, is most likely 500 KB/s.

1k = 1000 = 10^3
1K = 1024 = 2^10

1m = 1000000 = 10^6
1M = 1048576 = 2^20

Also:

1B = 8b

So 1 KB = 1024 B = 8192b which means your internet connection is 3.9 Mb/s, or in other words, you have the second fastest internet connections posted thus far. Xcalibur has you beat just slightly.

:clap:

[Snapp]

So, I win right?
