Post Up Your Internet Speed~

Paralyzed, try rebooting your router / firewall (I really hope you have one!) and your cable modem. Some brands have issues that cause performance to degrade over time.

Jeeesus christ Cheesecake.
I like that work connection! :D

It depends on the time of day though- this was done at ~5:40pm in the UK, but after most people have gone to bed, it gets alot quicker due tio less traffic- typically about 7-8mb/s. Still crap compared to some of you bastards- I hate you and your super fast internet connections...

Edit:



20 minutes later and its nearly twice as fast- bizarre......

Cable net sucks here...and I pay for 20 meg down speeds

I have been thinking about going with hughes sat. for internet service

Satellite tends to have high latency though because of the added distance to space and back.

Got Fios. Much better than the DSL before and its cheaper. Way faster than needed for most things, even w/ many comps on the network

[_paralyzed_]

this is a stolen wireless signal. 15x faster than connected to my modem with cat5 cable. what should i do about this?

My work..

90 / 59

[Metallover]

This is fast enough for me. It's already faster then my computer...

[suicideneil]

Damn Art1k, thats a bit fast isnt it? I would run an extension cable from your work to your home- have a few inline hubs/boosters whatever to compensate for the voltage drop (unless its fibre optic), and it would still be faster than most other peoples internet...

[BrianG]

Hmm, latency might be substantially higher due to distance and the repeater/booster parts.
