How fast is your internet connection?

[xyzzy32]

Mines pathetic for broadband internet.

who's complaining?

this is broadband. when you live in Missouri outside of KC and STL, you learn to accept anything better than dial-up, even in cities such as mine...

GAH.

IT TOOK ALMOST 20 MINUTES FOR 4chan TO LOAD.

[PatMan33]

Well there's your problem, you're going to 4chan!

Seriously though, loading problems are not your fault (at least on 4chan). That site is under constant DDoS attacks and God knows what else.

[nurd]

...Even google took like 6 minutes to load

Famicomworld, like 4 minutes.

Some pages Never loaded, they just gave up or something

[PatMan33]

That sucks...

<_<
>_>

Still, don't use 4chan as a scale for... anything at all.

This is killing me. I switched form Comcast cause they are evil and I was tired of dealing with them but now the slowness of BS is killing me. At my place we have two iMacs, a PS3, and a laptop running of this connection and it's making me go insane. I'm thinking of dying a little inside and crawling back to Comcast

My school's internet sucks beyond belief. 

[MaxXimus]

This is my home connection. I guess it gets the job done.

[nintendodork]

It sucks...

Can't watch YT videos without buffering every few seconds..

but now the slowness of BS is killing me.

Why do you think their initials are B and S ?

Why is your connection so strangely asymmetrical? Doesn't make sense to have more upload than download.

This particular speed test doesn't work for dial-up, or at least the upload test doesn't.  I have a one-way cable Internet connection (cable to download, dial-up to upload), and while my download speed was accurate, my upload speed was reported as being twice as fast as it should be.  So, even though Kuvio's dial-up connection's download speed was reported correctly, his upload speed was just wrong.

And looking at these speeds...and the situations of people like Kuvio and I...  I hope Obama's broadband initiatives can help America at least just begin to catch up with Japan and South Korea.

It will get even better once I get FiOS installed in a few weeks.  Going to finally get rid of Comcrapstic!!

That seems quite good as it is.
