Test your net speed!



Cox Cable. Please do note, those results are with traffic shaping going on (my gateway, not by the ISP). The only other thing running at the same time is bittorrent. Bandwidth is pegged at about 80% usage. So those results show that pf is doing its job!
 


Can i believe this!!!!:crosseyed:
Yes u can .. Comcast has what is called Power Boost. Cable Max Normal Speed is around 20MB (Uncaped)

How long does the PowerBoost burst last?
A PowerBoost burst will normally last as long as the 10MB of a file download on Comcast's 6Mbps High-Speed Internet service, and as long as 5MB of a file upload.


Some other info on cable

Cable modem services can slow down significantly if many people in your neighborhood access the Internet simultaenously.

Both cable modem and DSL performance vary from one minute to the next depending on the pattern of use and traffic congestion on the Internet.

DSL and cable Internet providers often implement so-called "speed caps" that limit the bandwidth of their services.

Some home networks cannot match the speed of the Internet connection, lowering your performance

At least Sprint does something right =)
 


I miss powerboost. Although, it doesn't really matter with the caps that ConCast is going to be putting on them. I can't wait for fiber ...
 
I'm going to call about blast tier. It looks pretty good. Although fiber still kills it lol ..
 



I am actually suprised as we have wireless and are on the outer fringe of access, but I turned the signal booster up all the way. And I have 300K set aside for VPN access.

I just setup a salesman with a carrier that doesn't even support tethering, he is about .5 down in areas with little service. Makes no sense to me, why a .5Mb DL and or UL can be had, but poor quality phone service.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
