How Fast Is Your Internet Connection?

Published on November 27, 2006 By Xythe In Personal Computing

I test my ISPs speed from my PC about once per month. It seems as Comcasy must have bumped my downstreem soeed, as I pay for 6mbps service, and no matter where I test from, it's been greater than that.

Do you use: Cable? DSL? Dialup?

What are the results of your best recent speedtest?

Last Result:
Download Speed: 5134 kbps (641.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 352 kbps (44 KB/sec transfer rate)

Not bad considering that 4 computers are connected to my pipe right now (I usually have 3-6).

Mine still sucks. Comcast bought Adelphia a year ago but still haven't changed anything in my neck of the woods...

Redone mine cos I was curious as to why several recent downloads never got above 4 to 5 kbs....dial up speeds on a broadband connection.

Your current bandwidth reading is:

1.32 Mbps

which means you can download at 168.89 KB/sec. from our servers.

It's actually higher than my last result of 1.28Mbps....so I'm guessing the slower d/l speeds may be due to bandwith issues with some of those sites.
