Damn...I am not getting my moneys worth....

It depends on which server you connect to for the test. I can connect to Dallas and get tremendous speeds over servers much closer to my actual location.

My first 400 baud CompuServe hook up was almost all that.

I'm with Suddenlink cable and it varies from 1100 to 7400 down and 250 to 500 up. There is a long running thread on a local forum hammering them for overselling their pipe which they lease from ATT. There is only one fiber line out of the area and it runs down 101 through the Redwoods and it gets whacked from time to time by road construction...

LOL

That was at work. We actually get a really good price for Internet service. Consider also that this connection is for 22,000 computers, none of which were being used at the time.

Sadly, my home connection isn’t quite that fast :)

Cheers,

Oh well, my first modem was 1200 baud, quickly followed by 2400 because I needed “real speed”.

Pretty sad compared to cable, but I'm in a rural area on DSL, about 15,000 line feet from the Central Office. Remembering back to dial up, I won't complain....

I tested the internet one time.

It’s fast.
