How fast is your college network?


Recommended Posts

bandwidthplace.net is VERY inaccurate. The Broadbandreports.com is one of the best out there.

Try this url http://chi.speakeasy.net

it is VERY accurate. The page is cached and it tells you not to reload the page to delete ur cookies if you are going to do it again. This is the best speed test you can find. Read the page before judging

our school computers suck, if they havn't crashed by the time you get into internet explorer, it feels like that all 1000 students are sharing a single 33.6kpbs line.

Your download speed : 797136 bps, or 797 kbps.

A 97.3 KB/sec transfer rate.

Your upload speed : 1328609 bps, or 1328 kbps

It's really inacurate, Im downloading @ 2MBytes/s and the upload is 200kBytes/s

Where did you do the speed test at? I also highly doubt that you are downloading files at 2MBps from websites.......

Well our actual network backbone is stonking fast... all Cisco switched with all servers and switch cabinets connected by 1000mbit fiber connections. So file copying goes about as fast as your computer can cope with.

Our net connection is 10mbps - though thats 10mbps both up and downstream. Can download from Microsoft and other fast sites at a comfortable 1.05MB/sec on most days :)

?s far as i know its like this: we start our computer, pc gets a image of the server, then it will act like win 2000 with that image so it must be fast, as i heard about 100 mbit:) but those computers take ages to boot:S

At Home I have ADSL @ 1500/640 Kbps which DSlReports.com brings down 1287/588 Kbps.

At Work I'm on the Govenment Lan(Novell Crap). I get 2500/3000 kbps off DslReports.com

Not Bad for a few Thousand people on a Single T3.
