Topic: What Type Of Internet Do U Have

[cmonkey]

SNET/SBC/Yahoo DSL.  1500kbit downstream, 128kbit upstream, but they are upgrading it to 256kbit upstream soon.  I generally get speeds of around 150kbyte, or 1200kbit downloading, and 16kbyte uploading.

that is all like....blah to me. i get nothing.

Its just him tryin to post his throughput like I did...
By the way cmonkey...still slower than me :biggrin:
*zips off to another forum faster than superman*

I have the almighty powerful, unbeatable 56k modem.  

[Ms. APuff]

At my work they have t1! WOOHOO!!!!
my throughput here is:
653.52  Kilobits per second  
0.64  Megabits per second
thats like 20 seconds for a 2meg download :biggrin:
If you wanna know yer throughput, you can go here and test it make sure that if you have dialup tho, only use test 1 or it will take forever!

OMG! talk about pokey. I just tested mine.
Results: 19.37 kb per sec.
0.02 mg per sec.
 :sad: very sad.

i hav a 56k modem but 4 some reason when i go on the internet @ 3:00 am the transfer rate 4 downloads is 300 kb p sec

Well, my type of internet isnt up there, I have wireless.
I love my ISP, at night when I am playing on Warcraft, I never lag. Its like using a T1! My current "throughput"at this time is (for you kids out there, thats the raw speed of your connection):
507.48 Kilobits per second
0.5 Megabits per second
Thats up, and downloading speed
My ISP has a speedtest on their website at night it goes upto like 750, and .75 when there are less people online.

I'm planning to get wireless.  Before I get it i need to find out if its reliable. Is it reliable and whose your provider?

[mermaidman97007]

Its pretty reliable...my provider is a buddy of mine that I invested with, and hes pretty good at gettin to any problems, just a little hard to get ahold of at night because hes a 1 man operation...but ya, it rocks. Kinda like using a fractional t1...ya know? Most other WiFi is like dsl, but I have a special arrangement so I get extra bandwidth :cool: As for you getting it? Depending on location, it can be good or bad...if yer in a valley then there is no hope unless the "Tower" is like right above you...

Actually, T1 isn't all that great.  Its 1500kbit download and upload.  Most cable providers give more than 1500 download and most DSL providers give around 1500.  T1 is good for uploading though, and its really stable/reliable (mostly because it costs a load of money)

My school has brodband 100kb p sec download rate when i click on a link boom on my internet its like booooooo-ooooo-o--ooooooom dway is like bm

yeah, but dsl is "upto" t1 is guarunteed bandwidth of 1500 k up & down. and yeah T1 is better because dsl, and cable is actually a "shared" T1, where as having a T1, you dont hafta share the connection. And it costs a buttload o money because you get a permanent connection directly to the internet.
