How fast (or slow) is your internet? Vol. When was the last time you checked?

[ISHOOTHST'S]

So, out of curiosity, I decided to see how my internet speed compares to others'. Unfortunately, the website doesn't show detailed comparisons; hence this post.

For the users that dont know: Post your speed here by pressing the "copy forum link" button then paste here.

So, you use Comcast, eh?

OMG

I don't put much stock in those speed tests. Run it 10 times and see what happens. Then run it all around the country and see what happens.

For those of you with Comcast, RUN THIS TEST and see what it tells you.

It's not the speed that is important, but the quality of service.

Here is one that is a little more thorough.

MySpeed

It breaks it down a little more.

If you have cable your speed will depend on how many people around you have cable and how much bandwidth they are using.

If you have DSL you speed will depend on how far you are away from the Fiber. And most DSL companies sell packages, so they will cap your bandwidth.

btw, Comcast, Indy, West Side
