LAmom Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) I am only able to receive the lowest At&t internet that they offer. And I live in LA!! Not in a suburb or rural area! I don't get it. :glare: Anyways, don't know what the results mean. I just know my internet stinks and goes in and out CONSTANTLY and I can't watch Netflix on my computer or Youtube (takes forever to load). OP link: 640 Kbps was my result Edited June 28, 2011 by LAmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Spycar's site say 2.1 Mbps but the Rough Collie's says 13.87 Mbps. Obviously, drastically different results so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Using Bill's site I got 2.1Mbps and 2.4Mbps, using the other site I got. not quite sure why they are using a server 150 mi away though. ok I told it to use a different server and although it's still about 150mi away I got this.

Sun Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The first link Bill provided gave me a result of 7mb/s, though. Which is more accurate? Why is there such a huge discrepancy? Why is my upload speed so much slower than my download speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaNYC Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I did speedtest.net (can't figure out how to paste the page view) DOWNLOAD SPEED 51.06 mbps UPLOAD SPEED 5.12 mbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) .51 mbps download, .37 mbps upload. ETA: That was speedtest.net. I have a suspicion one of our other computers is online right now. It's not a great connection (broadband) but it's usually a little better than that. 2wire.com has it at 486 kbps.

DawnM Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well, it SAYS we get 20.13 Mbps download speed and .95 mbps upload. That doesn't seem right. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Download 21.09 Mb/s Upload 3.69 Mb/s Ping 8 ms Faster than 98% of the US :party: No wonder I'm always complaining when I try to connect to another wireless network. We use Comcast cable and will never, ever switch! Edited to add, my husband works in the software industry as did I in a previous life. We have quite low tolerance for slow connection and my husband really does need it for work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 At the slowest end, think SLOTH! ON a really good day, about as fast as my puppy can run! It's a sad little internet system out here in the sticks. The ping is 105 ms. It was 347 ms this morning. Download is 2.46 and upload is .57 on this last speedtest. It was slower about three hours ago. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryGirlShake Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm at 21 kpbs.... yes 'k' does that qualify as the slowest ever? I need to upgrade, but there is no cable here, so would have to be satellite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koerarmoca Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) 54.0 Mps no idea what that means but that is what it says. I am also running netflix, a desktop, my laptop and my ipod which surly slows things downs. ETA: ok that is just what my computer said when I went into my controls, it was way slower on those test sites like 13.4 Mps We hve service through Openrange.net. I liked them becase I can set up to pay a year at a time and not deal with monthly bills. It's like $600 something for a year of internet + free long distance. Not bad IMO.

Shellers Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 5.3 Mbps. I live out in the country. Cable isn't available and we have old old telephone lines. I had wildblue for years and recently upgraded to fixed wireless. I'm thrilled with my fast Internet even though it's not all that fast. It's also unlimited bandwidth which is so nice!

KirstenH Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I think we pay $40 a month for Comcast's "Blast" level of high speed. It's not super-impressive, but gives us unlimited data transfer, which is a necessity for us. My friend is stuck with satellite broadband and has to ration like crazy. ETA: I ran the test again, and this time the results were more in line with what "Blast" actually advertises, which is 30 mbps. It picked a different server this time, too. Weird.

TheTwinsMom1 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 We pay for 100 mb from our cable company will have to check actual speed when I get home later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirstenH Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 PSA: If you have cancelled your cable tv, check your frequency. We just had Cox out here yesterday because our internet would slow every once in awhile. We disconnected our cable a few months ago, but we hadn't disconnected the splitters. The splitters spilt the frequency between cable and internet. Now that we don't have cable tv, our frequency range was too high so it would go out of range occasionally. Still completely watchable, just would slow. We called and Cox was able to check our speed history over the phone and they had a guy come out and remove all of the splitters from the house and adjust the frequency for free. Disclaimer: We also pay for the super speed internet, have a band new modem and router because we are a family of gamers. Thank you for this VERY helpful post!

ereks mom Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 According to http://www.2Wire.com, it's 2.4 Mbps. According to http://www.speedtest.net, download speed is 6.13 Mbps & upload speed is 0.65 Mbps. We are in a rural area where neither cable television nor internet is available, and we get DSL through our local telephone company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 We had a ping of 65ms, a download speed of 30.35 Mbps, and an upload of 3.37Mbps. This is Comcast cable. I don't have any problems with the service. I can watch movies or tv shows on it fine. I do have a problem when using the laptop but I am sure that is because the router and the distance.

DawnM Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Just so you all know, this is an old thread that was SPAMed this am and probably means I resurrected the thread as I posted the "reported" after that spammer. Sorry about that. If I had just reported it and not posted would it have gone back to the archives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer in MI Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I ran it three times...I got 46.78 Mbps the first time, 46.51 Mbps the second time, and 30.23 Mbps the third. Using the Speedtest site, I got 3871 kbps down and 570 kbps up. We're on Bell Canada DSL. My kids are impressed! When they saw you were in Canada, they understood. I don't . . .

Critterfixer Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I get 242kbps. I'm thinking the grade for that would be CS-"crippled snail."

MistyMountain Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I got 22.21 Mbps download speed on the ookla site and 3.9 Mbps and the 2wire site. I am guessing the 2wire is more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
