Wow, am I the fastest here? Meh.

Your download speed : 2661541 bps, or 2661 kbps.

A 324.8 KB/sec transfer rate.

Your upload speed : 251968 bps, or 251 kbps.

That's during peak hours, too.

Cox High Speed Internet @ Phoenix, Arizona 3000/300 advertised. Very reliable. ONLY $39.99 USD / Month. Excellent.

Cable: optimum online

Fastest dl: I think something between 700kbs and and 1mb

fastest ul: 115kbs and average 100kbs

Dl are the same all the time even during peak.

Have you guys tested your bandwidth at pc pitstop? cuase it says "Transmission Speed 2717 Kb/s" for me

and for upload around 900kbs but howcome i can't send at that speed. I also called optimum and the guy told me that upload speed at 900kbs sounds about right. is there a tweak or something to allow upload speed that high and get higher dl speeds? also does neone know how bandwitdth much games upload donwloads take up?

hm... it seems most people dont know or are ignorant of the difference between kilobits and kilobytes.

I have cable, Charter Gold.

768 kilobits/sec down 128 kilobits/sec up (I get max DL at 120 k/s and upload at 16 k/s). Stupid Charter and their caps. 15 mi north of me people get Roadrunner with around 2 mbit down and somewhere between 256 and 512 kbit up for $5 less a month then i pay for charter.

Remember guys. The faster you download. The bigger your penis is.

:rolleyes:

I thought it was the other way around? (ie. the faster you d/l, the smaller your penis is)

You know, the whole "gotta compensate for something" syndrome.

And why then do you have all your pc specs in your sig? :rolleyes:

Optusnet Cable

Virtually uncapped speed but my guess would be 3mbps connection.

Downloading usually around 100-500kb/sec depending on traffic, averaging 300kb/sec download speed :cool:

The bad news is pathetic 3gb monthly download allowance limit. :angry: :crazy:

This is gotta be joke on broadband connection. Even I can download more than 3gb on 56k dialup

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
