kbps... that depends if it's kilobits or kilobytes. If it's kilobytes, it's fairly fast (for U.S. standards =P). If it's kilobits, it's ridiculously slow >_>

I get 5915 kbps down and 489 kbps up.

So you fit into the 0.6 range. That is really slow for Cable. Maybe try resetting your modem & router. Or if you bypass the router completely and still only get 0.7, call Roadrunner.

According to the test, my connection with the Atlanta server gives me 131 kbps down and 103 kbps up, which is really close to the 115.2 kbps either way  I'm theoretically supposed to have. 8)

wow... is that like an oldschool ISDN line?


It's 1xRTT, also called CDMA2000.

HELP!

ok, so i called time warner to find out why my internet is so slow.. and it said that that speed is normal for the package we have... which is ridiculous because they said we were getting the fastest available when we signed up.
so i'm looking at other options, but i'm confused since i dont know the equivalents between kbps, M, or MB.

i'm looking up AT&T and it said their fastest available DSL is

 IP Address:  1 Dynamic
Downstream Speed: Up to 6.0 Mbps
Upstream Speed: Up to 768 Kbps

at 34.99 a month.

is DSL wireless? (we have 3 apple laptops and a desktop PC)
and what is the difference between DSL and cable broadband??

I get a hearty 22310 KB/Sec DL speed and 2813 KB/Sec UL speed at school. I <3 my university internets, lol.

6MB per isn't too bad Jessica, but it depends on what you actually would get because you may not get the full 6 with the DSL.

I believe Cable is usually faster than DSL unless you're in an area of large cable users. You can get a faster connection with TW by paying more but it isn't worth it to me.

DSL comes through the phone line, so unless you're in one of the very few areas where they offer it naked, you also have to have a phone line running to your house.  Once it's in the house, you can use a wireless router to connect your laptops to it without wires.  Is that what you're asking?

Jess, 6.0 Mbps is actually pretty good. But be careful because very often, ISP gives you the theorical speed and not the actual speed possible on YOUR line.
Here in France, I have an 8 Mbps DL and 320 kbps UL DSL access and it's more than fine.
IMO, getting more than 10 Mbps is a waste of bandwith and money because it won't be of much use unless you have to stream HD videos.

I work for an ISP so I see the variations on available speeds to our different contracts and it makes me curious.

I'm curious too Kev; I'm paying for an ADSL2+ connection but the speed
test I just ran is suggesting I'm getting much less than I had expected...

Test run on 07/05/2008 @ 12:34 AM

Mirror: OptusNet
Data: 3 MB
Test Time: 462.63 secs

Your line speed is 53 kbps (0.05 Mbps).
Your download speed is 7 KB/s (0.01 MB/s).

I know I'm running with only 256Mb of RAM, but this test is a revelation!!

Peace

My internet has gotten extremely slow! I don't know if I should buy a new modem. (Suggestions?)

I upgraded to 6M today, and they said it won't take effect until Jan. 7 since it takes three days. I like to stream movies on netflix and I take online classes, I need something that goes fast and stays connected. On top of that we have 1 Desktop, 3 Laptops, 1 MacBook, 3 iPhones, and 1 Blackberry that take up the connection. I'm sure the phones don't really take up a huge chunk of that anyway...

Thanks for the help!

(Oh it says:Last Result:
Download Speed: 764 kbps (95.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 79 kbps (9.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
