I’m not bragging or showing off or anything, but 37090.9Kbps and 4545.5 K bytes / sec isn’t all that bad is it?

 

[rolfw]

Mine's only

457.2 Kbps
56 K bytes/sec

You must be on a T3 or similar Polomint

 

[net1]

Your line speed:

558.9 Kbps

68.5 K bytes/sec


This ones mine

The part of JaNet I connect to is called FaTNet (rather appropriately I thought)

The thrill of seeing Linux downloading at over 900kbytes/sec (on my own PC) doesn’t wear off as quickly as you would think.

Also comes in handy for P2P...

Very impressive Polomint, we must be seriously upsetting the narrowband users though.;)

 

[Channel Hopper]

Hmmm

755.6 Kbps

92.6 K bytes/sec


Slightly better than expected from the laptop
at this time of night

 

[rolfw]

I thought you only had a half Meg connection CH?

 

[jimbo]

Here's mine

Your line speed:

3709.1 Kbps

454.5 K bytes/sec

Same as Polomint without the extra zero.

Out of interest what’s your ISP and what’s their rated speed of your connection?

I do , thats why I didnt think it was bad at all. Maybe the powered hub is wired up to suck extra bandwidth ?

(dont tell anyone though )

Hi Polomint

Sorry just logged on today. I'm on Telewest Blueyonder on a 1Mb connection.

 

[Razor]

Speed at work is...333.9 Kbps 40.9 Kbites/sec

And at home I got fedup waiting for the page to download.

This is true, we here in ROI are very slow.????????

 

[Burnt Chips]

30.4 k (ntl shite band) wife always said everthing to do with me was SLOW

 

[zansi]

Here's Mine

Your Line Speed:

4080 Kbps

500 Kbytes/sec

All for 18.99 per month!!

 

[rolfw]

LOL Dave, can't you get a cable modem service there?

@ Zansi, what service do you have, that would appear to be a four megabit service.

 

[Burnt Chips]

It is a cable modem Big R, NTL BROADBAND

 

[rolfw]

You should be flying then mate, my sister uses them and she is consistently faster than me.

 

[Burnt Chips]

i know big R, but i get faster speed on my v90 external modem,
£14.99 a month, alledgelly 128k Only 30 ish, and try Just try and get in touch with technical at NTL (waited over 4 hours 1 nite)

 

[rolfw]

Best go for the 1/2 meg version then Dave, having said that its probably everyone tapping off the cable feed that is upsetting the speed. ;)
