It's a little slow, three of us are using it at once.

I'd post mine, but it will show 14mbps but my net doesn't go at anywhere that speed. I'm having issues with my Modem etc. Fun times.

This said, we're an ISP and have a lot of schools using our internet right now - I should do this later tonight and see what I get.

How about speed tests from mobile phones?

Nexus One on T-Mobile
Download = 3.98Mbps
Upload = 1.33Mbps

This is from work. Funny that the upload is almost twice the download. Have a much faster connection at home.

[Stoke]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1151545083.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Fuck yeah for shitty internet. Unfortunately it's the best available here.

[jpublic]

Wow, that Blacksun testing site I used is crap. I just tested my rates at the University, and I get almost identical to my home.

But if I go two provinces further away, I get 400% faster rates up and down.

[cawblen]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1151590843.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

The 16mb/s download is a complete lie. Most times, it's between 6 and 9mb/s.

Boo Rogers, i want to switch to Teksavvy but the other services in the house are all Rogers and you get discounts for bundling services.

[Knightsaber]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1151595581.png

:( This is our only option out in the boonies besides dial up...actually I think the dial up dude quit.

[Suave Peanut]

That's Road Runner for ya. I ditched them and went to uverse. Time Warner sucks balls for internet connection/speeds.

We should be switching to uVerse soon. But as long as somebody else is paying the bill, I try not to complain too much.

[Camel]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1151656895.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I've been using Comcast for a long time, and I always tell them I am cancelling my service so they give me promotional rates. Now that I don't have cable anymore, I think it's time to switch to something else. I've never had any big issues with them, but they are a little pricey.

Anyone know a decent place to compare/research ISPs? I've always gone with the most obvious option (usually Comcast) and don't really know where to start looking for other options. I've tried doing some searches and checking out the yellow pages and stuff, and either all ISPs are awful, or I just don't know where to look. :o

EDIT: Blaaaaaah, after doing some research at DSLReports, Comcast might end up being my best bet. BLAAAAAAAH! I was hoping to get a decent deal elsewhere, but now I suppose I will just call and haggle like I normally do.

[Jackel]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1151671296.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Here's mine from home. Disappointingly slow compared to others...but that's the area I live in.

[Hawkzombie]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1151682858.png

My UL is a bit slower than I figured.

[iHap]

Does not compute. If you don't have cable, then you've already switched from comcast. :p

[Jackel]

Jackel> At least it's not Alaska. :P

Fair enough. Being able to at least hit 1MB/s is nice.

[AntonThaGreat]

The sad part is if I posted this in Japan (http://www.speedtest.net/global.php#0,4,78), everyone's download numbers would have been closer to 50mbps. I wonder just how much faster the internet feels in japan? Since you still need good servers to serve you on that fat pipe, and in the U.S., not all servers are all that fast.

[TheKeck]

I've found that the bottleneck on download speeds is almost always the server you are pulling from and not your own connection.

[Vandabo]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1151925663.png

That's from work with business class Comcast. I get almost exactly half that at home with normal Comcast.

I know a bunch of people who hate comcast but I haven't had any problems with them personally. I don't like their business practices and politics much, but they have always supplied me with fat pipes, so I stick with them for now.

[Wackman3000]

Here's mine:

[johnperkins21]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1152047630.png (http://www.speedtest.net)
Probably a bit lower during peak times, but that's pretty close to what I normally get on speed tests.

[Sandman]

Was getting about half this (download rate) until a few months ago.

That confirms my thoughts about Mediacom. I also have Mediacom here in IL, and the speed tests I did show almost exactly the same numbers as yours, repeatedly. There's some leeway with the download speed, but every single time I ran it the upload was capped at .95.

Yeah, out here it's my only option other than ATT DSL and our phone lines are too old to run decent with that.

[Shjinta]

eh what the hell.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1152290783.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I use to have 50mbps from Videotron. Since I moved to the middle of fucking nowhere this is the best I can get.

[burger]

19 down and 4 up.

Just about what I expected from FIOS. I should try this at work where I've gotten close to 100 down.

Well, I was going to test my phone, but the data connection isn't working because I live in a hole :D

I'll try out 4g sometime when I'm close to an area that actually has it. Seriously, don't fucking make me pay a mandatory fee for something that's limited.

[darkbase]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1152360219.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Yeah, go screw Verizon.

Anyone have a good ISP suggestion for central Florida? I live in the middle of nowhere, but surely I can do better than this. My Xbox is always getting cut off from LIVE and this obviously interrupts my Netflix viewing. Downloading a file for school the other day took over 3 hours, and it was 152 mb. Few things make me want to Hulk-rage, but my bandwidth is at the top of that list.

Home. I'm glad that, as far as speed is concerned, comcast is pretty good, as they're the only game in town (other than phone-based DSL, but who wants that shit). 250GB limit is kinda shitty if you've got people that watch a lot of netflix and download big games off steam, but so far they've never actually done anything when I've gone over, so yeah.

This is the downside to DSL. Air Video on my iPad looks like Youtube videos circa 2005.

But the alternative is an openly crooked cable company that routinely screws it's subscribers at every possible juncture. Both myself and my roommate have been sent to collections by BendBroadband over hardware we already returned to the company. It actually is one of the things that prevented me from entering the Air Force.

[The Doctor]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1155145561.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

That 11Mb/s is actually a bit higher than the advertised 10Mb on my connection. I'll assume it's a rounding error.

I actually got into the Samknows/FCC (http://www.samknows.com/broadband/fcc_and_samknows) program, and have been using their whitebox (it's actually black) router since early January. The reporting online is pretty cool.

http://tonytoon.home.insightbb.com/samknows.png

I get a free router, nice reporting capabilities, and the FCC gets to collect real-world data of questionable value that they probably won't end up doing anything with to improve ISP quality in the US. Win/win!

[Banacek]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1155167066.png

[The Doctor]

Hmm, 20Mb down/2.5Mb up seems pretty common. How much are you folks paying for that? My ISP offers it, but I'd be grumpy if you guys are getting it standard.

[Banacek]

I'm paying $60 a month for the highest AT&T UVerse speed they have. Since I do a lot of work from home I want to have the fastest speed I could get. The funny thing is that I was paying about the same amount for Time Warner and that was half the speed of this. Not surprising since Time Warner is absolutely horrible.

I'm surprised at the majority of slow speeds people have, and more importantly the prices you pay for them! Just curious, going forward are people comfortable posting how much pm it costs them?

[Thanasimos]

I only have ten megabits. The school is capable of handing out much faster internet to the dorms if they so choose, but here they chose not to. Last year I lived in a new dorm in a pretty dodgy location -- there were some two-hundred steps between it and campus, which is no good in winter here -- so the school used fast internet to bait people into signing to live there. As a result I had a 100 megabit connection. Some people on the board didn't even believe me, insisting it was megabytes! It was awesome.

I miss those days.

It doesn't offend me, as much as annoy me that the best connection I can get, inside a semi-major city, outside of a commercial line is slower than connections people get out in the middle of nowhere, as you described.

It really annoys me when people try to argue that the lack of higher speed broadband in the US is due to the size of the country. Even the major population centers get fuck all for internet connections.

[Handmade.Mercury]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1160243421.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Fuck my school's dorm connections. I wish I lived in the Engineering Building. They serve 30/5 to all the wireless machines connected to their network.

Try having cable within a half mile and the cable company telling you it will cost $30k, or you personally at least $700 (plus the other 18 homes need to sign up, or your cost sky rockets.). Screw last mile build costs.

[benson]

This thread made me jealous. I'm paying Qwest like $42 a month for 7Mb/768Kb service. I hate the DSL upload speeds. I've been thinking of switching to Comcast for cable internet, but I like the price I pay overall for Qwest home phone, DSL, and DirecTV.

I currently pay $139 (including fees and taxes) a month for TV, phone and internet. Checking Comcast, their triple play bundle is $120 plus $5/month for a phone modem, plus $10/month if I want a DVR, plus taxes and fees. And that price is promotional, and will go up after 12 months. But you do get a $150 Visa gift card with it, which knocks down the price a little if you count that in ($12.50 a month for a year). So really, Comcast would be about the same for the service for a year, but I'd get a few more TV channels than I currently get, and faster internet (their Performance plan is 15/3 per their site - with powerboost!!). Really, the TV channels are for the kids and wife anyway - she wants HGTV and FoodTV, the kids want Disney and Disney XD. Everything else is a bonus I guess.

I think I'm just going to settle for the cheaper price I am paying for crappier service. We are talking about moving out of state next year anyway, so any 2 year contract would be bad if I have to change service providers. I guess I have to settle for being jealous of everyone else's speeds for now.

[Stoke]

This thread is being resurrected because I'm finally out of the '90s.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1208735004.png

Ditched ATT because of their new data caps. I realize Comcast has them as well but for now they're the lesser of the evils.

[Purple Santa]

$40 a month for six months. $70 afterwards. Still worth it.

Edit: I notice that a lot of you subscribe (and hate) Time Warner / RR. All of your guys' Speedtest results are abysmal. What a terribly worthless ISP.

Comcast recently upgraded my speeds for free. My numbers are skewed a bit by power boost, but I've been really happy with my service here. I think I'm actually promised 12/2 or 15/3.

[Cerebus]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1419354518.png

Powerboost definitely skews these results, and doesn't speedtest.net only report the maximum speed, not the average? I generally use testmy.net when I want a more accurate, and more depressing measurement.

EDIT: showing 14.7 Mbps on testmy.net. That's 1.8375 MB/s...not too terrible.

[wyeast]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1420750528.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Fascinating in that I haven't run a speedtest at home since before they replaced that dud drop outside. Until then, I was almost always in the 3Mbps range for download speed, and was thinking it was bittersweet that the phone was faster (floats between 2M and 9M depending on location). Guess that's changed with the new line. :o
