Saz, now that is some bandwidth!

Derek, what kind of connection is that? Very unbalanced.

 

[Sazar]

Yah, can't complain.

I had to cut the pic so y'all wouldn't see the ludicrous number of apps I have open at one time lol.

Gotta love dual-monitor configs and 40 open windows on average

Whatever they have up in my joint, T1 I'm assuming.

I think when this thread was first started it was to post your home connection speed.

The speed you pay for

Unless you own the business then I suppose you pay for the connection.

 

[madmatt]

Here's mine, a business class service.

 

[kcnychief]

Standard work stuff.

Running a coupla reports, so it's a touch below optimum but I'm sure I have bandwidth to spare.

Holy ****ing **** that is some bandwidth dude!

 

[kcnychief]

Wtf, Derek, dont you have comcast 8mbps?
How are you getting 14mbps?
Im only getting around 11mbps...

It may be because of PowerBoost.

PowerBoost is a patent-pending, Comcast-developed technology that allows customers to temporarily experience download speeds that are faster than your normal speeds. PowerBoost leverages an additional capacity that is already built into Comcast's advanced network. PowerBoost can provide customers with extra bursts of download speed that is

- Up to 12 Mbps on Comcast's 6 Mbps service

and

- Up to 16 Mbps on Comcast's 8 Mbps service

Ah a little padding of the stats I see .. its not like it is always that fast just a little push to fool the crowd.

 

[kcnychief]

A hair faster this morning too

It may be because of PowerBoost.

Yeah but from my understanding. Derek and I have the same service!

I am signed up for the 8mbps service, but comcast told me it was 9mbps due to me having the phone...
So i should be getting the 16mbps powerboost too!

 

[Geffy]

2meg is the fastest my ISP offer, was going to switch but its good enough for everything I do

 

[Vanquished]

Yeah, it really is.
I mean, what do we really need?
I can play games on a dsl 768k connect with almost the same "quality" as my connect, by almost i mean mines still a lot better, but the dsl gets the job done...

Very true, haven't even played Solitaire in quite some time

Although, I'm rather addicted to Othello in the OSNN Arcade lately. I'm determined to beat EP!

 

[Vanquished]

Yeah, this really does stink.
Why can we have such amazing down speeds yet comcast will not give us more upload!!!
