Wonder who amongst you can take the medal for the quickest broadband line? I know its not me!

 

http://www.speedtest.net/

 

Just test using the recommended server nearest you and post the results when it's finished.

 

Speedtest.net is a free broadband speed test with servers located all over the world. Compare your results with others and easily share them.

 

I'm not in Austin but don't know how to set up a Houston one so :dozey:

 

Pretty good for someone who is out of contract

Distance - 150 miles???

 

It's 56 miles by road to Maidenhead from here

So does the person with the fastest win a prize? :wink3:

 

 

 

 

Mine is crappy,but broadband in this country is way behing the rest of the world.

Second highest download speed though, not bad.

Mine is like a snail in comparison..

But really you should be using a overseas server when you are doing the test,to get the real overall speed test,i used one in auckland....which does not give you the accurate result..because most of my downloading etc is done from overseas sources.

Dear god.

So the whole election campaign stuff about Australia having a slow internet was true...but I didn't know we were that isolated...:laugh3:

Wow,that is not even that much faster than dial-up..:laugh2:

WOW! You're not kidding!:shocked2:

Are you sure you are not on Dial-up?

I'm on broadband, and my internet doesn't seem unbelievably slow! Ok, I'm going to try it again and see if it changes...

I use a firewall. I didn't even think about that. Would that affect upload speed too though?
