Your Internet Speed (10th Aug 08 at 12:06am)
www.speedtest.net What are your results? And to generate some discussion; what ISP do you use? What do you like/dislike about them? Would you rather be using a different ISP? Here's my results on a wireless connection: I'll see if I can get a result image posted when I'm on a wired connection a bit later. Currently I'm using Rogers, and apart from them messing around with FF's server status error pages (404, 403, 401, 500, etc.) they're great.

Re: Your Internet Speed (10th Aug 08 at 12:36am)
I don't think that's bad when I am using a wireless internet which I can SWEAR to you three of my neighbors are leeching right now (I pay for the connection, they just use mine. >_>) I'm trying to get the company to come down and fix the damn wiring then I'll test again. I forget my exact ISP, but when the landline works it's freaken amazing. I can game with nearly over 400 fps on WoW. Their wireless service I hate when other people leech it and it constantly crashes. They won't help me make it a password protected network so I kind of hate that. But their landline I love it. Freaken awesome hardly ever a problem unless all the customers in the company are getting it. Hmm...my image says I use SBC Internet. o_O. I pay Brighthouse for it oddly...xD

Your wireless is a lot faster than my wired connection according to that But then I know Virgins broadband is pretty poor, unfortunately I have little choice but to use them. I'll see if I can test it from work ~~tomorrow~~ Monday as we (normally) get pretty decent speeds there (not great but better than I have here )

To password protect your wireless network, go to either http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 depending on how your network is setup, and enter the default username/password (generally both "admin"), and get things setup there.

Re: Your Internet Speed (10th Aug 08 at 2:10am)
Thats the fastest internet connection in Australia, sheesh! Shows how our old Prime Minister hated the internet so much - he thought it was like 100% porn and in no way effective, glad he is gone now! Kevin promises to improve our internet by 10 fold to actually bring us up onto a world stage instead of lagging behind everyone. Sucks playing games, as most gaming servers are hosted in America - For Ash: When I played WoW, my ping was constantly 600ms, that's considered pretty good for any Aussie. Bit unfair when your a mage in battlegrounds and a rogue is standing out of range of your spells (40 yards!) but still managing to backstab you...

Re: Your Internet Speed (10th Aug 08 at 2:12am)
Here's mine at home: So yeah, I'm on Rogers as well, and I'm on a wired connection. I think I tested before on wireless and it wasn't that different... Yeah, same. I wish they wouldn't insert their own 404 pages. Even if I disable it, the thing does a horrible job of faking it anyway This however, is what I get in my university residence, which I will be going back to in september (different residence, but still that network): Amazing speeds, but there's some pretty restrictive bandwidth limits that I can usually live with but some others can't because they download too much

I tried before it broke my dlink settings I had to buy a new one. ><'. So not bothering to try again; I'm planning to just fix my wiring.

Re: Your Internet Speed (10th Aug 08 at 4:56am)
Changing your settings in no way requires you to buy a new one...at most you'd need to hit the reset button on the router itself; something I believe most routers are required to have. @ Frufru: Well obviously UW will have amazingly fast speeds, they have a giant fiber-optic network that caters to those attending the premier university in the world's Technology Triangle. Sucks that they have a bandwidth cap though; I'm pretty sure Rogers' bandwidth cap is far out of reach, even for me and my neighbours all sharing a connection.

I don't know much about computers, so don't know if my connection is good or not. =P

My internet is usually very fast. I can only imagine running this on my grandparents dial up connection. The site speedtest.net probably wouldn't even load.

0_o Well... That's really something. Wired DSL, shared connection and this is my result: Funny thing is, we pay for a 1.5Mbps connection... Oh and I don't have these 'Bandwidth Caps' Boy aren't I lucky. I can't wait till I get the corporate speed package. I bet those are as fast as frufru ~`'- 's UW connection... If not faster.

That is with my provider's 500 package. If I would have done it at a friends house, their numbers would be lower because they only have the 100 package.

I like my connection, I think it was better where I lived previously, but it's nice here.

My mom lowered our internet to the lowest speed, because we could not afford the highest speed. we did have over 1000.
