Connection speed

Claimed to be 1.5 Mbps download and 512 Kbps up


That's coast to coast ... so I'm not far off and other systems on the network are sharing the bandwidth.

not sure what mine is supposed to be now, possibly 4meg down.

Hi guys...I need a little help here...got the test results but not the prognosis!
So...I understood I could get up to 8mbps...but it may be only 3...so where does that fit with what I got in the test....in non-nerd speak please!!

I have no idea but the upload looks good

you never get what your ISP advertises,but you are close.

i don't understand this comment though- "but it may be only 3"

The package I bought is up to 8mps...the local telephone exchange only gives 3mps!

What I really wanted to know was which speed to put in the voting pane?
is it the download or the upload...or an average?

This wireless in a cornfield stinks sometimes.

Dee,

Everyone usually represents their results in "download" speed. The vast majority of most peoples internet traffic is in download mode. I have a need to upload more than I download so I have a package to ease this. But, I wouldn't care what your upload speed costs if I could get that kind of speed I would.
