Oh man, don't use those stupid crappy speed tests.

I did a speed test and it said I had 4mbps line when I pay for a 50mb line. I then went straight to Microsoft's website, downloaded a 450mb file (Vista SP1) and it came down in around 40 seconds. I timed it :)

That wouldn't be possible on a line that was running at 4 ... I get so many fluctuations from Speed test sites that I just go to a trusted download source, and time my download speed from there by a stopwatch to test the line speed myself. Makes me happier that way.

I'm upgrading to the 100mb Virgin line next week (Tuesday) and I'm reading excellent speed results so I'm quite looking forward to that. Not that I need the line. I just like the idea of posting it to facebook to make everyone jealous on my friends list. Especially my brother ... who still has 2mb with Sky :D haha. Kidding btw .... (about the jealous thing ... not my bro ... he really does only have 2mb).

Pretty close to what I'm suppose to be getting. I'm paying for a 7 mbps down/512 kbps up connection.

I still prefer the dorm connection at my college :D

My internet is currently being throttled* by my ISP to "dialup speeds" (it's normally ADSL2+) and decided to try the speed test for giggles....

* Exceeded our 50Gb download allowance (my ISP includes uploads as part of the allowance as well, yep they are that anal).

Download Speed: 71 kbps (8.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 66 kbps (8.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

:rofl: feel like gone back to the stone age...

OT: On a side note this is slightly annoying, I can't play my Steam games because it won't allow you to play the game if there is an update available (but the update will take a day or longer to download at current speeds) and can't run Steam in offline mode because it says it can't connect to Steam :blink: what is the point of offline if you need an internet connection? ok, end of off topic rant :p

...but speedtesters never seem to be anywhere near accurate (especially speedtest.net) on any connection I've ever tested. In real use I get a stable 8mbit (1MB/s) which I'm happy with considering I live in the middle of nowhere :p
