I'm just curious what kind of speeds you guys are seeing where you live. Here's mine:

We have the Comcast high-speed service. It's awesome!

What's even cooler is that my Mom found out that we actually had "DSL" speeds (over cable) before and it was less expensive to switch to the high-speed with our service bundle.

Just use the "recommended server" on www.speedtest.net- that's your fastest connecition.

Dammit I spelled "internet" wrong in the title......

Could a Mod fix that for me? Thanks!

Fixed title.

I just have regular cable inet, so I only get a little over 7.5Mb/sec

TY for fixing that. Spelling errors really bug me...grammatical errors, not so much.

That's kinda funny that your speed is EXACTLY how fast basic cable internet claims to be- 768k.

Brian, if you think your connection's slow:

On the bright side, I'm getting automatically upgraded to 10mb next month - Virgin are upgrading their whole range. Right now, it's a 2mb connection. It's weird to think that only 2 or 3 years back, 2mb would have been considered insanely fast.

How fast can internet connection get, do you guys know?

I'm pretty happy with the speed overall. I find that the speed seems to be limited by the other end rather than my connection. And I rarely download multiple large items at once. I could use a little faster upload speed, but that's just me being impatient.

Check out some of these other ones:

I just created a blank HTML file with the following code and ran it to see a bunch of results and picked a few of the more impressive ones:

HTML Code:

<body>
<script language="javascript">
function zfill(n,p){
	n+='';
	while(n.length<p)n='0'+n;
	return n;
}

for(var i=0;i<999;i++){
	document.write('<img src="http://www.speedtest.net/result/454600'+zfill(i,3)+'.png" /> &nbsp;');
}
</script>
</body>

Ok, so that's from work, I'll get one from home in a bit...

Edit: Here's my test from home.

This one's to chicago - geographically further, but the pipe to chicago from where I am is more direct.

I would kill for the speed some of you guys are getting. This is the fastest available in my subdivision ... crappy DSL.

The town just north of mine has fiber to the home, and you can get 50Mb up AND down.

It makes me want to move. :-)

do my numbers mean something is wrong?
