This is a popular thread on another form I belong to.

Here's mine to start off:

I don't know, John. Compared to you, I'm crawling along at a snail's pace. :oops:

Mine is up to spec for Roadrunner in my area:

7.05 Mb/s download

0.49 Mb/s upload


You can either get slower speeds for less money or "turbo" speed for more money.

The ping times seem a bit odd seeing as I'm less than 15mi away from the datacenter where the test is hosted out of.

The dorms here are all on the same LAN, so download throughput can vary throughout the day. Uploads are artificially capped at 1mbps after the first three seconds of the transfer; I don't know if there's any similar restriction on downloads.

And here's the speed back home. I made sure to cut my Remote Desktop link before the test ran so that it wouldn't interfere with the results, then logged back in to view them.

Personally, I never saw those sorts of speeds when connecting to any real server, which still makes me think that Comcast cheats on its benchmarks.

They probably do.

I could ask my uncle, he works for them. Then again, he's a pretty shady guy himself.

(Well, it is raining outside, and this might affect the connection speed)

I did this a couple days ago. I didn't want to do another one as I was downloading some stuff, and didn't want to stop it:

I'm the exception, not the rule. Remember that, and you'll be all right.
