Looks like they've upgraded their site again. Pretty easy to use, nowadays. Here's my latest result: I seem to get the fastest results with the Chicago and the Atlanta servers. Worst one I got was Madrid, Spain, at only about 1mbps download and 347kbps upload. I was wondering if Insight has upgraded my account to the 10mbps, like they were supposed to. Guess the results from Chicago pretty much confirm it. Though, my average after testing a lot of different servers around the country is around 7.9mbps, so that's still not too shabby for an average. In their percentages, I'm at 93% faster than all global connections tested, and 88% faster than USA connections. I want to see someone's results that has the newer Fiber connections. That's coming to Louisville in the near future, and I want to see if it'll really be worth the switch.

I don't know what we have exactly, but my entire campus of 15,000 students has Wifi so it must be fairly powerful
At home though Hawk we have comcast cable internet, so I am going to have dad run a test later to see what kind of speed I get at back in Chi-Town

I do... Mine in the thread starter is "basic" cable internet from Insight. $35 a month if you have cable TV with them as well...

Alpine, I'm not positive, but I think it'd be faster to surf the web from a cell phone. ![[Too much XOC]](graemlins/dead.gif)

If it worked at the house I am sure it would be faster. ![[Smoking]](graemlins/smokin.gif)

This is from my work: Strange how the download speed is so slow, but the upload is pretty blazing. Compared to my house, anyways.
