August 6, 200916 yr So how fast is your internet? Go to www.speedtest.net, choose the closest server and start the speed test. When you get the results there's a button on to "copy forum link", press that and paste it here. Here's mine:

August 7, 200916 yr Couldn't be a pirate even if I wanted to... - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
August 7, 200916 yr Yous guyz's upload is pretty bad. Btw dogmeat pretty windy out today. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
August 7, 200916 yr i haven't gotten comcast's new service yet. once i do, i'll be in the 16 Mb/s rate. till then, i'm capped just over 4. taks comrade taks... just because.
August 7, 200916 yr Couldn't be a pirate even if I wanted to... Whoops, the first test I took was about the same as yours, El Numbero, but the second had a little better results. Edited August 7, 200916 yr by Kor Qel Droma Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
August 7, 200916 yr Actually, considering I have to cover 1350 miles every time I do something, I guess it's rather quick.
August 7, 200916 yr "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
August 7, 200916 yr All the major ISPs around here suck. Faster would be nice, but I'd hate to give any of them more of our money. Edit: Except for Hurlshot's Wildblue, my Sympatico is tied with Kor's Telus for lowest ISP rating at 2.6. Woo! Go us! Edited August 7, 200916 yr by Deraldin
August 7, 200916 yr I'm stumped by the amount of suckage all your ISPs seems to have. Edited August 7, 200916 yr by Dragula
August 7, 200916 yr I didn't know my up was so crappy. Still, 10 mps is plenty. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
August 7, 200916 yr Ugh what the, don't you live in the city, and didn't Al Gore personally dig down cables for the information super highway internets. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
August 7, 200916 yr I blame my lousy speed on my university's lame speed throttling. Sunet is evil, but at least it's free. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
August 7, 200916 yr I want to know what the star rating means. User ratings of service co? Edit: I did it again just to see how different it'd be moment to moment: Edited August 7, 200916 yr by LadyCrimson Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
August 7, 200916 yr Btw, don't feel too impressed. That's just local. Anything near W. coast isn't bad/stays above 20-25, but you test from a server on the East coast and it sinks like a stone. It doesn't matter what your rated speed is vs:worldwide surfing...too many other factors. Edited August 7, 200916 yr by LadyCrimson Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram.

August 7, 200916 yr Author I want to know what the star rating means. User ratings of service co? It's the rating that people have given to their ISPs. Obviously this doesn't show real-world performance very accurately, but it does matter for downloading stuff off Steam etc.
August 7, 200916 yr Makes sense, I figured. And in that case, I'm surprised users didn't rate Comcast, business account version or not, a bit lower. It is, after all, still Comcast. I wish upload speeds were at least twice as fast, it's frustrating....tho I can maybe understand why companies don't want to do that. Is downloading from Steam always local-ish to you, or something?

I guess they have a server around here somewhere, because I usually get my full speed, around 1-1.1MB/s. But even downloading from Fileshack's US server I get up to their server limit 750KB/s.

August 7, 200916 yr Ugh what the, don't you live in the city, and didn't Al Gore personally dig down cables for the information super highway internets. I moved out to the country a few months ago. Peaceful, but the internet options stink. I will try something different next year, I'm locked into a contract for now.
