Technically, I'm on a University network with a gigabit connection between buildings and six simultaneous T-1's to link us to the world.

So how do I find out what my average speed is?

[barry glisson]

I'm on road runner it varies from very fast to unable to find server at least a half dozen times a day. Monday I think I'll call the public service comission and raise a little stink. barry

[RCN_Moose]

well I just told @home to stick it http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/biggrin.gif
and switched over to telus (ADSL)

downstream - 1600Kb/s
upstream - 512Kb/s

I haven't gotten to the stage of telling @home to stick it, just because it is fast http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Downstream: 2Mbps
Upstream: 128Kbps

[voogru]

also what how fast is your download speed?

like what it says in the little download box.


voogru
My Internet Is Faster than yours!

Got country cable here,(direcpc) seen 2.74mb

one time but, usually 400-500 kbps with
only 56k up

Are you happy with direcpc? What about when it rain or snows? I used to lose my dish all the time due to weather.

Sorry bout not getting back to ya last night.
I use to deal in sat equip (before i retired
2nd time) so no I dont have any trouble
with direcpc. Except when I do something
stupid with my Compooter and I have trouble
with the os. They just changed and offered
unlimited surfing/downloading for a set $40
a month. My equip works fine during rain
allthough I worry bout lightning. Other day
it was slow, took 25mins to download w2k sp1

[barry glisson]

16397 kbps is your through put. Road runner just left, lets see how long it lasts this time. barry

[Sweeper]

Your line speed:

32.7 Kbps
4 K bytes/sec

fast eh?.......
"NOT!"

[bkehoe]

In Internet Explorer I get around 50kb/sec.

In FlashGet I get up to 220kb/sec.

[jacobnero8196]

bkehoe: what are you using, satellite ?????

and what is FlashGet ?????

[jad1097]

Thanks Chief. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

FlashGet (http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,,001285,.html)

[jacobnero8196]

Ah Jetcar been there....I'm using Download Accelerator Plus v4.0 now, it's also been upgraded for Broadband !!!

[jacobnero8196]

Is Direct PC worth it ????

Does the speed stay at least 400 Kilo bits or higher ???

I can't get cable or dsl so I'm very interested !!!

[Psycho-holic Slag]

i'm running a 56k modem piped down to about a 28.8 by line noise. http://smilecwm.tripod.com/dvv/pissed.gif

transfer rates for webpages range between 3k and 5k, downloads usually settle in at 2.7k and stay there.

sux not to have broadband in my area, and $h!tty phone lines to boot.

[NDC]

700K downstream (800k on luck days) http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
128K Upstream

[Mikagami_Tokiya]

At home:
786K DownStream
128K UpStream
At school:
MUCH FASTER

[Chief]

I'll try to ans Jacobnero8196. Direcpc for now, is the best any of in rural areas can
do. I understand that there are a couple of
companies working on direct trans/recv equip.
I used equip like this before I retired from
Navy, only it operatered in 200mhz range
and not the gigahertz range that our civilian
sat equip operates in. They just started a
deal where its unlimited online/downloads
for familys at $40 a mo. That would be Plus
whatever ISP svc you used. It cost a lot every Month, but 5khz downloads for regular
ISP would have taken me 7 Hours plus for
w2k sp1. You'll have to decide. I wont go back.

[Wiruz]

xDSL 512....

Down: 512
Up: 128

Average download normally 60 Kb/s - bursts @ 65... above max???

DirectPC?!?!?!?!
I have Gilat-to-Home(beta) and it has TWO WAY! broadband satilite!
the beta is availible to anyone tho!

www.gilat2home.com (http://www.gilat2home.com)

Its Much Better than DirectPC

[Missing the point]

From www.gilat2home.com (http://www.gilat2home.com) [/b]
With GTH, the typical Web surfing experience will be about 10 times faster than standard dial-up modems when receiving content, and about twice as fast as standard dial-up service when sending information.



That ain't really that fast, since Cable is 100 times faster..........

[Brangwen]

Hold on to your seats: 46000 bps here! Hey, for $2.50 per month it's not bad! I think I dl at 4-6 kbps.
