Cnet is garbage. And your download speed doesn't mean jack diddly ****, it's your upload that's important. 16mb down, 2mb up.

Also just cause your download/upload shows a certain speed doesn't mean that's how fast you can download, it needs to be divided to get a true number. My upload is 2mb and that relates to about 230k a sec upstream.

That thing is bogus. I went from 278 to 17000. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif Pretty impressive for a T1 (1500 kbps max). http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I got 7.16Mbps with yours and then 1.5Mbps on the new link I posted. Me thinks they all bring the suck.

[dochummer]

It's probably because your computer cached the information...I hit 31000....but both times I did it properly, it came out around 1440kbs

[dochummer]

1.1mbs on drty's second link...both tries...

Meh....926.6 kilobits per second

[frank6150]

Easiest way to figure out how much bw you have is to divide the number the company says they give you. 4mb = 400k cap, 10mb = 1000k cap, 512k = 50k cap, etc..

Unless you can find a data center very close to you for a test you will likely get numbers all over the board. Caching really isn't a concern cause you are sending and receiving packets just to get a generalization of speed. I honestly don't think any of them are ever very accurate. Best way is to do the math yourself.

4.9 megabits per second.

this one says I'm at 6.3Mbps

they're all wacked. I am paying for a 5Mbps feed but that's download the upload is usually capped to something below T1 speeds or 1.5Mbps

They ping your computer and return the speed, not that difficult. I would expect it to be different every time unless there is no one else on you network all the way to the provider.
you share bandwidth, the only way you would be consistent is if you had your own dedicated T1 hookup and no one else used it.

I am getting FTTH here in a few months, I cannot wait to see that. I am suppose to get some sick speeds with that!

I'm supposed to have a 3mbs download at home and all I can get with these meters is 100-200kbs. I've noticed that it's definately been running slow recently.... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

That's not the point. The point is numbers vary too wildly with these tests to ever get an accurate number from them as you can see from peoples results. It has nothing to do with sharing bandwith, there are not enough people on my node to make a difference, I live in a very small town.

Nope, they send imbedded data over and time it from the start to the time it returns a "complete" packet.

Average Throughput = Bytes transferred x 8/Download time

Once you do it once, some or all of the transmitted data is cached so its faster the next time.
