True Speed (estimated)

Downstream 118 Kbps (14.8 KB/sec) 127 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Is that good? bad? what?

that is absolutely freakin' horrible. You're talking less than ISDN speeds (well, 2 BRI ISDN). That sucks donkey balls. You have 2-3x the throughput of a dialup modem, basically.

When I had ADSL here, I got 80KB/sec downstream and 16KB/sec upstream (640/128). On cable now I have about 260KB/sec down and 32KB/sec upstream.

So, anyway, to keep it simple: That Connection Sucks Donkey Cock.

lol. yeah, seriously man, i don't know how they manage to get that sold as being ADSL, that's awful beyond knowing. :o


I got ADSL too, and i got:

- Download speed : 2840 kbit/s or 355 kbyte/s
- Upload speed : 106 kbit/s or 13 kbyte/s

If i'm not tripping then i should have a connection that's over 15 times as fast as yours, that's...bad.

Hmm. I agree with you satis, but lemme just point something out. (unless I am missing something)

I posted that i have

Downstream 118kbs Upstream 65kbs

you put

80kbs/60kbs

that makes mine faster than yours?

nono, I put 80kB/sec. That's kilobytes rather than kilobits. 80kilobytes = 640kilobits.

My current connection: 2080kb/sec down, 256kb/sec up.

I did another speed test recently, and got much better results. guess something was bandwidth sapping. so maybe thats why.
