Internet Speed Test

[eljeffe]

Ever wonder how fast your upload/download speed and ping times really might be?

59ms ping
8346 kbps download
560 kbps upload
(Cox cable)

Let's get some comparisons going so we can see how our various ISPs are doing.

But, David, to which speedtest site? Sure, you can get a 59ms ping, superfast download/upload speeds to the speed test site down the street. But how about the one in Jakarta or Uzbekistan? LOL!!!

Verizon FIOS (5MB/1.5MB)

I pay for 5mb down and 1.5 up, so it looks like I'm getting a little bit more than I pay for. :D

Now, let's see what happens when I go to Uzbekistan

Yeah I've noted wired desktop is usually faster however these speeds were also wireless since oldest daughter is moving home and I lost my wired office......%%$#@##$#! ;)

This is Comcast, which is running slow today. Must be the 8" more SNOW. :(

Usually it runs about 8mb down and 384k up.

And from San Jose:

That's running through Airport wireless to my MacBook. Not great, but not terrible, either. Our Ethernet-wired Mac Mini gets 3,930 upload from the L.A. server.

I'll have to test the apartment when I get back to Oregon, which is on Comcast.
