I agree, ban him!

@AlexW00d: That would be me. If I were at home I would be too ashamed of the results to even bother. Remove me if you wish, I was just curious what the results would be.

#6 Edited by Still_I_Cry (2494 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Well it was like 85.6 mbps

DL speed was around 17 something.

@Still_I_Cry: Not anymore, a swede just beat you!

#10 Posted by Xyber (287 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

At least we have a swede back on the first place again. Screw your university internet!

I rue the day Swedes could access the internet!

#12 Edited by 49th (1796 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Wow, I have the second worse download speed. That's AOL for you.

Also the second worse upload speed. Nice one.

#13 Posted by gike987 (1576 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

98.84 mbps. I'm number 1 (for now).

#14 Edited by AlexW00d (5434 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

@gike987: Nevermind, no you're not.

#15 Edited by OtakuGamer (1078 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

and I thought 25mbps was pretty ok. :(

edit: 212.31mbps? Really? REALLY?!

#16 Posted by mwng (784 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Hey look, I won the award for worst internet.

#17 Posted by Canteu (2190 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Mine is as low as i was expecting, but honestly it works fine for me. I don't need to download games in minutes, i'll wait a day and i don't feel i need to pay more to get them faster.

Uni connections don't count in this anyway.

25Mb/s is quite good otherwise, for the US anyway. If you're not US, it's still good.

#19 Posted by CaLe (2502 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I win the longest distance tested badge. Also I didn't get my full 50Mb/s so this isn't fair.

#20 Posted by FritzDude (2206 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Someone should hook up that dial 56k modem. Just for funzies.

University internet, shared between the entire campus.

Nothing like being in the middle of the pack.

...Story of my life.

#25 Posted by RIDEBIRD (1206 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Best combined download and upload speed. Discounting that Texas Uni thing unless it's at home.

95 Mbs down, 70Mbs up.

Nice to see Sweden representing in the top 5, too bad I seem to be the only one with full duplex.. My ISP is shit, a proper one (like bredbandsbolaget) with 100/100 should actually reach those speeds. Come on Sweden!

#26 Posted by xdaknightx69 (439 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I'm last woo! lol

#27 Posted by mfpantst (2572 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Yeah, I'm going to look for a place with at least 100/100 when I move out. Upload speed needs to go higher than 10, stupid Com Hem. :(

#29 Posted by MX (141 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Wow, my ping is terrible 152ms

#30 Posted by JasonR86 (7734 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I'm on Comcast and am using my laptop. I'm getting my internet through wireless N and am sharing that router with three game systems and a roku box.

Ping: 5 ms

Download Speed: 36.52 mb/s

Upload Speed: 5.72 mb/s

Not too bad.

#41 Posted by TobbRobb (3305 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

#42 Edited by _Zombie_ (1287 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

0.66 Mb/s download speed, 0.77 Mb/s upload speed, and 26 ms for ping. Given that I don't know, well, anything about this subject.. is this bad or good?

#43 Posted by RecSpec (3060 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

My 52.85 is my home speed. So I can't complain.

#44 Posted by SexyToad (2323 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

#45 Posted by SexyToad (2323 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

#46 Posted by crusader8463 (13080 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Weird... It says I got a 1.5 down. My ISP is only selling me a 1.0 connection. Don't tell them about the extra half a mb!
