How Fast Is Your Internet Connection?

How Fast Is Your Internet Connection?

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?

Click on the link below bringing you to the DSL reports tools/speedtest page, perform the speed test, and post your results.

never mind...you may have me on download, but I kicked all y'all's asses on upload!

I'll try it later at school to see how the results compare. I'm curious

You were probably not the only one using your pipe for downloads at the time, hence your relatively slow score. However, most Internet activity is down, not up, so hence your fast upload speed.

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.
