Speed Test

[IronBits]

It would be nice if some of you could hit this
http://www.ironbits.net/speedtest/index-php.html link and post back some numbers for me.
Just interested in finding out how the bandwidth looks from out there in Inet land.
Thanks in advance for those that do.

Here is a link for our visually challenged friends. http://www.ironbits.net/speedtest/speedtest.swf

I got 867 DL and 317 UP
on 1 line And
1148 DL and 295 up on the 2nd

EDIT
When I went to speednet I got 1313 up from the 867 The up was about the same

[IronBits]

Yes, if you go to speednet.net where they have mega fast commercial lines, you will get better performance.
If you pick a location closer to where you live, you will get a more accurate performance mark of what your speed is to the internet from your location.
Checking performance to a far away distance place will also give you the worst ...

That's not bad from Chicago to Glendale, AZ. tho.
And you are mostly interested in your Download speed... TO your PC from another site...

[Fozzie]

760 down
297 up

[paleseptember]

212/95 on a theoretical 512/128 line. Though I am in Wollongong, Australia. I imagine there would be a lot of jumps between my computer and your server.

It was 405/103 on a Sydney server (jump of only a 100km or so). Upload to you is sweet, download a bit limited.

Edit: Those numbers are dl/ul. Australian broadband sucks mightily.

[Beyond]

1130 dl, 2443 ul.

[Bok]

253 / 231

suckage from a hotel room here in Hartford,Ct

I'll try it from the BankofAmerica network in an hour or so where I'll bet it is much worse, then from home later tonight

*Edit* from BoA network not as bad as I thought..

1108/671

[Paratima]

Sorry, not currently allowing Flash.
Is there another option?

[LAURENU2]

2nd try 12Hrs later 988 D 300U to you
To Tampa 1152D 315U
To Seattle 1314D 314U
To LA 1275D 269U
To Houston 1287D 314U

[meep]

1150/130 to your site IB....

Closest: 12607/728

10152/732 to Germany
10022/448 to France
9565/732 to Belgium

I think the speednet options are not fast enough to max it out, max is 20mbit/1mbit, with standard giganews downloads running at 2.3MB/s (2355 'ish).

Some fun ones:

2079/657 to Japan
2410/642 to New Zealand
2831/626 to Chile

[Paratima]

Got the sucker to work!

to IB's site: 605 down 444 up
to Tampa: 6877 down! 477 up
to Speedtest site in Tucson: 6874 down 485 up

Retested on IB's site & the numbers just got worse.

[Max Dettweiler]

1151 Kbps down/299 Kbps up.

With an "official" speedtest.net server close to me, I get 2270 Kbps down/333 Kbps up (for comparison purposes, this might be helpful).

[IronBits]

1100 Kbps down is what I was expecting everyone to get, at the theoretical limit...
That would be 1Mbit up being served from here...
Looks pretty good all the way around for most folks.
Thanks

From Bok's homeland (N.E. England) I show 1147 down/173 up on a theoretically unlimited 22Mb ADSL line with 712kb upload. Unfortunately, I have to run via an 8Mb exchange to the backbone high speed 24Mb converted exchange so my usual max of 7Mb down matched by capped 750Kb up is reasonable. Ping times can get a bit stupid tho' compared to when I had Telewest cable (now rebranded Virgin Media as NTL won the domination battle but their name stinks in the UK) so gaming can be a total pain. If I wanted to reinstate the fibre, I could have unlimited 40Mb download (max is around 120Mb theoretical) and 1Mb up with excellent pings to almost everywhere (except Taiwan ) but the price is £30 ish plus another service.

[jasong]

I just tested it to the recommended location(Plano, Texas) 468/61 kb(kilobytes)/sec

477/60 to Atlanta, Georgia

453/56 (ul/dl)to Japan

Oddly, the location doesn´t seem to make a difference.

Btw, what´s up with Beyond´s connection? I´d love to have all that upload bandwidth.

[Digital Parasite]

Is says your test has expired and you need a new version.

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Not bad 1154 down , 226 up given I'm on the other side of the pond those are good numbers.

[Digital Parasite]

Its working again. Through an SSH tunnel'd proxy I'm getting:
966 down, 742 up
and with the closest "full" test site I get:
962 down, 786 up

Not bad considering the encryption and proxy through a remote machine. I should be getting around 8000 down and 1000 up from the main test site from my home system without the proxy. I will try that tonight.

[the-mk]

first test with flash: 994/298 (down/up) (what server is used with the flash??)
second test: 1776//326 (down/up) using closest server

[Digital Parasite]

Ok, direct connection now to Ironbits:
1124 down, 962 up

Closest full test server:

[LAURENU2]

Much improved Now with the new Circuit Upgrade
test #1= 1167 /301
test #2= 1163 /318

Line 2 with close to 200 Eons running

test #1= 555 /122
test #2= 483 /101

[IronBits]

Very nice, that's what we were hoping for.

[Paratima]

Mine improved by about the same margin: 1165/472.

[LAURENU2]

Anyone else see a improvement

Thanks IB

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

No improvement just the same speed when I retested it although when I 1st tried it, it was saying download speed of 512k and upload of 200k - stupid freaking thing, I blame a few MS updates.

[Shish]

Uploads gone up to 384 from 173 out of my usual max of 768 up. Downloads still around the same.

[the-mk]

1136/404 @ IBs flash
5340/438 @ my closest server... I upgraded my DSL line the last few days
