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.

Overall I am pretty pleased with the wireless internet my school provides me.

Holy hell! I WISH I had that kind of performance out of my DSL.... I only have a 1.5 mbit service....Are you guys running cable?

You guys make me sick.

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

Could be worse. At least the days of 14.4 modems are gone...well for most of us.

Wait till I run the test from home.

Who says DSL sucks, this is the sbc 40/month package

Mine's avging over 8k, but never completes the upload test.. (COX comm in Scotsdale, AZ)

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...

From SLC:


From Sydney AUS

I like the SLC one better

Wierd, Tucson works..

Holy crap what kind of connection is that??

On another note, looks like the net is a little less crowded. I just pulled this from Chicago:

Dont Laugh....

This is my internet Hell from Home

Alpine, I'm not positive, but I think it'd be faster to surf the web from a cell phone.

SBC DSL...

Here is mine from Northern IL to the Chicago center....



It's not the greatest, but it's good enough for what I need to do with it.....

Man I love having a fiber connection at home.

If it worked at the house I am sure it would be faster.

Sigh, if only i had this connection from home, this is from work, Verizon.

Edit, opps gues we arnt using our main link, looks like this is timewarner... weird

This is from my work:



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

Dan,
You need to call Verizon, and complain (unless of course you only got the 5M package).

This from my work:

I'm only paying for the 5 meg package so I think I'm good.

Your right, I thought about that too, must have been just after you replied, since you didn't get my edit. - RR

Wow...and I just got done making my boss feel good for NOT increasing our speed...of course we have about 4 people accessing a huge Quickbooks file via our network at the moment, slowing out LAN speeds way down.



That is from our Firewall server.

Holy crap!



From home, regular Comcast cable. Uplink sucks ass though.

From work. T3's are fun.

Comcast... still advertising what they can't deliver.

X2 (home - Comcast):

What speeds does Comcast advertise in your area? Anyone have FiOS?

Don't recall if it's 5 or 7 meg, but I aint gettin' anything near that most of the time.

Mine and Hattrick's are FiOS in DFW. Mines' the 15Mb package, Dan's got the 5Mb package.

Sitting in the woods at the LBJ Grasslands (northwest of Decatur Texas), one bar on the PCS Modem. It thought I should use the Atlanta Server, but the Dallas server was just a little faster.

Our firewall where I work buffers incoming downloads to run them through virus checking on the fly. Our downloads at work crawl along to the 10 - 15% mark and then are suddenly completed as the remainder of the buffered file is delivered to the client. Might be similar with your setup.

Verizon FIOS here in Pittsburgh PA. Jorge, I cannot believe your getting those speeds from Comcast Cable. The best we get here from them is about 6000 down and 512 up.

Comcast from Highlands Ranch.

Comcast 8meg service from Colorado Springs


The problem with this test is that it's so quick, Comcast's PowerBoost is still helping and as such it gives an inaccurate download speed.
Testmy.net gives a more accurate actual download speed using their SmarTest:
