Hey All,
I've recently changed my ISP and am curious to know about other people's advertised and actual speeds. I'm on with Sky Unlimited Broadband with boast a connection of 30-60Mbit/s. However, when I checked my speed I am currently operating at a pathetic 1.03Mbit/s. I'm not sure if Sky counts as Satellite or Cable Modem but it's still a poor connection. To check your actual speed go here This post has been edited by Pickysaurus: 28 Jul 2009, 20:19 --------------------   |

Just regular old ADSL here.
I'm on a 1.5mbps line and I get speeds of about 1.3+, so it's generally pretty good and very reliable. This post has been edited by Alias: 28 Jul 2009, 20:20 --------------------  |

the 100 mbit is the connections of the lan network, not your actually internet speed.

1,5 mbps is marketed, but I dont really go beyond something like 1000-1200.
Which, naturally, limits my download speed to 140 - 160 kbps, which is the dumbest thing around. --------------------  |

Advertised speed is 100 MBs-1 and speedtest puts it at about 90 MBs-1 up and down. Naturally this doesn't show in many websites or certain downloads because of the host's speeds. There's a specific network for the people with this kind of connection though, and exchange speeds are quite insane in those cases, indeed going to approaching the advertised speeds.
EDIT: oh yes, the connection type is optical fibre which is standard for social students' housing here (  ) .

Since I didn't actually post mine before:
 Seems to be slower than if I'm downloading via my ISPs servers (which I do more often than not). This post has been edited by Alias: 30 Jul 2009, 12:38 -------------------- |

My Hong Kong internet speed is 1Gbps up and down, rarely gets that due to the test server is not even that fast.

Lol, my internet is usually quite crappy, however sometimes i can get some quite good speed increases. My actually internet line is terrible though, which accounts for the poor internet speed, although, speed test rates it as above average:

Advertised is 1Mbps but i get about 800kbps on average. Ping is a shitty 250ms on average and tbh my biggest complaint is the 5GB cap on downloads. Which I run through very quickly between social networking, system updates and the random torrent.

I'm not sure of the advertised speed for mine, since I use my uncles, but I did the speed test, and it is way off.
 My actual download is about 300-400 KBps, while the Upload is accurate. |
