Internet Speeds

[Hakomi]

Just wondering what speeds eveyone gets as mine has been really slow for the last few weeks.

 

Go to http://www.speedtest.net/

 

 

San Jose

 

 

It gets a lot worse than that as well sometimes its about 1 mb/s

The local test can tell you about the connection to your ISP, but a better test for perceived internet speeds is generally testing against a foreign server like San Jose.

jesus. 50mbps, thats pretty slick, even if it is just local traffic.

yeah it's nice... we have fiber at work obviously

While we're showing off work speeds:

 

But seriously, this is what I get local:

 

And San Jose:

 

Our upstream provider is Orcon, and Internet has definitely been noticeably slower lately. I find torrents still go incredibly fast, but general web browsing e.g. youtube is pretty much fucked.

From home. Our internet is pretty sweet here. We're with Slingshot and nice and close to the exchange by the looks.

 

 

[Ignition]

Holy crap, those are some decent speeds. Definitely something fucked with Orcon.

[Dr Awesome]

 

Understandably I'm getting fucked off with xnet.

Yeah - thing is, I still have to buffer things like Youtube.. torrents can be quick though.

[zzzp]

Trick with youtube is to refresh it once, then itll boost.

Telecom XT (Rural)

[penco]

 

 

telecom big time.

 

pretty sweet most the time except for when the flat mates are raping torrents

[indecline]

WINNER

 

 

fucking ridiculous really when the server is even hosted by my ISP...

This is me, I'm on xnet but I use the limited upload speed account.

Interesting that Orcon would have poor Youtube speed as they operate a local Youtube cache (you must be loading non-cached videos, so you may notice that commonly watched vids are really fast in comparison). Possibly explains why ZPak's refresh technique works (first hit loads file into server cache, 2nd hit loads directly from cache).

[a-tech]

Yeah, html5 is the biz. Soundcloud is all HTML5.

i have noticed this at home lately, WTF? the first few days were off the chain.

 

as for work,

noticeably faster than this at times though depending on TOD

[Taiko]

What do i get for winning?

Should it even be this slow when it's capped?

Interesting that it says ihug when we are on Vodaphone.

yeah, theres 1000Kb in a Mb so if your cap is 64Kbps, then it should actually slow down to 0.06Kbps, so 0.08Kbps is actually above your capped speed.

 

oh and ihug got bought out by vodafone a few years back eh
