test your speed ...

[Todd The Kiwi]

and i don't mean with a vial and litmus.
:skull: speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed test :skull: (http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/speedtest/)
i don't know if it'll work outside of new zealand but who knows.
apparently i'm caning an insane 350 kbps,
but i'm sure it's fibbing to me ...

"Your line speed is approximately 507 Kbps or 62.1 K bytes/sec"

sweet :cool:

[matty28carter]

"Your line speed is approximately 119.4 Kbps or 14.6 K bytes/sec"

coz i'm cheap! :laugh:

[fatal error]

"Your line speed is approximately 518.3 Kbps or 63.5 K bytes/sec"

[Todd The Kiwi]

nice one guys .
i thought i was going mental when i saw
"your line speed is approximatley 350 kbps"
compared to 56k dial-a-snail it's mind numbing ...
by the way i'm uncapped @ 350 kbps , which is pleasant.

[Tokelil]

Well if the server is located in new zealand, its not really the best case speed for me. Anyway:
Your line speed is approximately 1026.2 Kbps or 125.8 K bytes/sec

[Qaz]

Your line speed is approximately 338.9 Kbps or 41.5 K bytes/sec

I've got 512/512 ADSL so shouldn't that be a bit faster?

[Todd The Kiwi]

QAZ - i don't know man i know nothing about adsl .

TOKELIL - wow that's really fast , is it capped ?

[t_journeyman]

1000K test: Your line speed is approximately 517 Kbps or 63.4 K bytes/sec
500k test: Your line speed is approximately 529.1 Kbps or 64.8 K bytes/sec
Not bad for crossing on ocean or two :globe:

[Tokelil]

Capped? Not sure what you mean by that. It's a 2048 Mb/s that is shared with a few others. Normally getting a download speed of around 200 kB/s when downloading from good servers.

Qaz: You shouldn't count too much on that result since there is all kinds af variables to consider. Check if your ISP has a speedtest and try that instead. Its the speed from you to your ISP that you pay for... Not from you to some server in new zealand. :cyclops:

Try one of the local servers at:
http://www.dslreports.com/stest?more=1

Got around 1700 kb/s when using a Danish server.

Btw. that site has some good tools to test your connection and surgestions on what might be wrong if it is to slow.

Your line speed is approximately 494.5 Kbps or 60.6 K bytes/sec

Hmm, slow server this is. Here, at my parents place, we have a cable connection capable of reaching download speeds of 400K bytes/sec. No kiddin' i have seen it happen on really fast servers! :cool:

TOKELIL -
i'm referring to a maximum monthly download limit say 1gb per month then the connection either gets throttled down to laughable 56k or a charge per mb is added for every mb over and above the quota.
telecom in NZ charge (when using dsl)
10cents per 1 mb over the limit
(depending on what plan is being used)
telecom are crimminals!

I only know of one company that is capping thier connection here in denmark. All others have no limit.
They have some rules that says you aren't allowed to abuse thier connection, but I have only heard of one person that has violeted thier "rules". (Was downloading 1-5 GB of porn a day, or something... :cyclops: )

that's pretty bung of him ,
as-if he's not going to get snapped downloading all that porn
what a dummie...
i think i might get a phone call or an email if i go nuts on their bandwidth
but it's more like an enquiry .

[Todd The Kiwi]

i just signed up for the fastest connection i can get
2mbps (256KBps) is friggin' unreeeeeal man.
now i can do nothing really fast ha ha ha :P
it'll take about a week to connect it though (?!)
the anticipation is killing me :skull:

Can be a lot more though, up to 400 kilobytes per second. Depends on time of day and server of the webpage im connecting to.

woo, tonight @ midnight i get upgraded to 3 mbps for free :P

Be careful Todd. Reviving old threads is sometimes frowned upon. Necromaniac or something like that I think they call it. Punishable by death in some countries. :silly:

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

I have to most pityful internet connection in the world. Too expensive for a too slow connection. However it seems the flat i live in will be demolished at the end of december 2006 so regardless i'll be moving to some other location if not abroad. Nothing is certain yet.

necropostmonger?

rex - remember to move out first man ha ha

[rorythedog]

Toronto also has some real weirdos as well. I got upgraded yesterday from 2Mbps to 8Mbps!

*EDiT* - On that topic, my ISP tells me my line will take the next 10 days to "stabilize". Is this normal, or bullshit? At the moment it's no faster than before but when I first installed the new router I saw speeds of 7.7Mbps. What gives?

Yeah that's about right, mine upgraded a week or so ago and has been steady since almost day 2 but I also know people who had to wait until day 10 before they saw a steady connection. You will only get the speed your line is capable of, hence the "up to 8mbps" you will have in your description. Also you may not see a speed increase for part of those 10 days until your line does stabilise, something to do with BT setting the speed. Mine stabilised at 7616mbps and my ISP says my stable rate is 7000 and it has stayed there constantly, but speedtests only say I'm getting 4mbps and tells me I can download at 440k/s (although real world speed hovers around 500k/s and can peak at 600k/s) It did take a few days of being stable for my actual speed to increase, I was still stuck on 2mbps speeds.

Check out this page http://www.samknows.com/broadband/checker2.php Stick in your phone number and postcode and then on the following page click the BT ADSL from the box and it should say something like "According to BT Wholesale, your line should be able to support a 5.5Mbps or greater ADSL connection via ADSL Max." This will give you an indication of what speed you can hope to expect from your line.

What ISP are you with?

[Tokelil]

how many girlfriends do you have :paranoid: :cheeky:This is a family forum Todd... Can't elaborate on that. :cheeky: Or maybe my english sucks, which probably is the boring explanation.

[Protocol]

This is a family forum Todd... Can't elaborate on that. :cheeky: Or maybe my english sucks, which probably is the boring explanation.
The term "Family Forum" is popping up a lot lately. Maybe we need to change the forum name to Family Forum. And even QMP to FP (Family Player).

[Todd The Kiwi]

ha ha ha @ tokelil and protocol, you guys kill me :biggrin:

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

ha ha ha @ tokelil and protocol, you guys kill me :biggrin:

Ho ho killing isnt mighty family like. :cool: Especially when words like sh*t and f*ck get moderated. Hey, dont look at me! :evil:

I suppose it would be bad if i said that my ISP sucks donkey balls? ha ha

[Todd The Kiwi]

rex your isp fully sucks donkey b*lls ha ha ha

I'm with BT and when I did the initial postcode and number check it said 4Mbps. I just got carried away when I came into the house and saw it saying 7.7Mbps. I'll have to give it some time.

IMHO there's nothing wrong with the odd swear word - in context. Inthewoods has occasionally swore at me but I realise it's because he's upset. I see nothing wrong with that. However, things like "sucking donkey b***s" is offensive because it's gratuitous. Pointless.

I was just giving an example where swearing can be placed in a funny context too without offending anyone here on the forums. Ever heard Monty Python's the history of the word f*ck? You should ;) Go here (http://www.sigg3.net/myself/fuck.html)
