The Official Giant Bomb Internet Speed Census 2011 - Off-Topic

#1 Edited by RiotBananas (3600 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

So I decided I wanted to see how everyone's internet faired against mine.

What to do.

Go to SpeedTest.net and pick the recommended server for your area and wait for the test to finish. You then copy your direct link into your browser and save the picture as an image and post it here.

This is essentially a census to see how fast or how slow your speed is, I've heard pretty crazy things about Sweden's speed for instance but I'd like to see some more world wide results.

Here is mine:

So post your results here as an image!

14.80mb/s for download on the wireless with my laptop.

#4 Posted by MattyFTM (13866 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

For mobile broadband, I'm always very impressed with my speeds.

Keep in mind that this is wireless.Wired it goes up to like 50.And this is the cheap internet.There is another one that goes up to 100, but 50Mb/s are overkill as it is.
PS:Romanian Data Systems FTW.

That's on a mobile broadband btw. So yeah, shitty connection.

Yeah... I pay for 24 Mb/s, but I guess my wireless router may be flushing a bit of it away.

I am moving the fuck to London.

#15 Posted by MikkaQ (9753 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

This is skewed since I was streaming Endurance Run and chatting on skype at the same time. But man my upload is shit.

#16 Posted by DerekDanahy (848 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Pretty much cheating though since all of this speed has to power a whole campus, but it is still my internet.

You stole my idea! hahaha.

#21 Posted by mmzOne (243 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Speedtest seems to be "full", because at the moment I can barely get over 90.
Also it gets my ISP wrong. :(

In reality my dl is actually abit better than that.

#22 Posted by heatDrive88 (1857 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

God, I hate all of you. I could never see that sort of internet speed where I live.

The worst part is, that's almost double what I can get through my DSL connection at it's very most.

@RiotBananas: How is this at all official? Sounds pretty unofficial to me!

#24 Edited by fishmicmuffin (1011 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

15.04 down
1.56 up
I miss on campus internet. Usually my speed is more around 4 mbps down. Playing games on it is unbearable at times.

#25 Posted by MARdude (44 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

#26 Posted by weegieanawrench (1504 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

It's a decent speed for the thousands of people that use it daily I guess.

#27 Posted by SMTDante89 (2191 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Keep in mind this is where I go to college, so a lot of people are using this. Might edit this later to see about what it's like when I'm at home.

#29 Posted by Bennyishere (1685 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

10Mb down, 1Mb up, which is what my ISP (Get, Oslo) advertizes. I'm not in charge of my internet so it's fine.

This is at work....

#34 Posted by damswedon (3109 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Wish my upload was a little higher but it isn't a big deal.

Added a banner to make it official. Officially.

You guys and your crazy speeds! At least I have unlimited bandwidth! "foldsarms"

#44 Posted by CornBREDX (3465 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Mine is the same as OP except bare in mind i'm also running all my work stuff as I'm currently at work (I work from home).

That being said I'm jealous of some peoples speeds. =P

#45 Edited by RecSpec (3125 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

This fucking topic is going to make me go out and upgrade my internet.

#46 Posted by The_Hiro_Abides (1171 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Now I want to upgrade my DSL to at least double the speed or get cable.
