    15/2 with over 500 mile to the server test site for a 40$ home connection.

    Beat that :p

    you guys using unversity connections are cheating, and if you test site is like 50 miles away thats not very accurate eather.

    Can be your settings, also cable shares your connection with everybody in your "grid" so if you had a ton of people downloading it could have killed your downline bandwidth and the upstream is still there.


    Thats one of the reasons I had to get rid fo cable, too many people in my grid area because Tampa Fl is a very populated place.

    You guys have some nice connections. That's my connection up there with my 5 year old Dell Inspiron 8200 that is always above 130 degree F. Get to 190 - 200 degree F when I am playing WC3.

    Hope when my T61P comes, the connection will be better, of course will be much cooler.

    Verizon just started offering 20 Mb/s fiber optic internet service in my neighborhood. Don't know if I'll switch to it just yet, but fiber optic internet at home seems kind of sexy, and 20 Mb/s is rather a lot.

    Pales in comparison to the 40, 50, and even 100 Mbit home internet service in South Korea.

    Not that great. You must live out in the sticks or something. We had that speed five years ago. :p

    70 ms ping is a long time so you must be really far from your provider.

    Ohh man I wish I still had my old speedtest rating. I had 24kb/s down and 12 or 13 kb/s up speed, on the Peer 1 Network, with a signal traveling less than 50 miles. It was an amazing speed for an amazing connection. And yes, it was dial up. But it was half the speed of normal dial up. I've since changed ISP's :p

    cable has come a long way, I used to have a 8mb/s cable service (road runner thru time warner) however it hardly ever gave me more than 2-3mb/s in real life connection speed. Thats why I had to give it up for the fiber optic wich has always given me my full connection speed of 15mb/s within 1mb/s and it cost 5$ less!

    Still I thought cable was maxed near 12mb/s to see 22mb/s is really crazy.

    The do offer a 30mb/s package for fiber optic where I live but the price shoots from 40$ a month to 200$ a month... so its just simply out of the question.
