Who has the fastest net connection?

[i_am_mustang_man]

I won on my other forum, but it's considerably smaller



from my uni T1 line

i bet someone here can beat it!

 

[AMD_Gamer]

lol wait until somebody here posts from their work with an OC3 or something even better

 

[shadowwyvern]

At least at my university, it should be who has the slowest internet. the entire campus has 45/45mb, for both academic and residential traffic, plus an abeline connection that is apparently really nice and low latency.

 

[i_am_mustang_man]

let's see some scores! you don't necessarily have to win! just post em! takes like 30 seconds anyways

 

[The-One]

I want a connection like that.


But what is uni T1 ?

I thought T1's are only 1.54mbps

lol sorry, uni = university cuz i'm in college

I think his confusion is a result of your speed test results being considerably higher than what a T1 should be. What is your actual connection?

 

[nicolas9510]

college next to atlanta
speed varies depending on time, i think they got a couple T1's

 

[shadowwyvern]

Clarkson University at 12:50am. Actually not bad, I should try it around 8pm when the entire campus is using the internet.

 

[Yowsers]

Not too shabby for the business school computer lab at 12:30am on a Friday morning, what am I still doing here?

 

[ScratchDrive]

Ok, I live in Daytona Beach FL. I pinged to Orlando and to Atlanta, GA. Heres mine for both.

I pay for a 5mb down / 768kb up line cable and I know it is capable of 5mb down (torrents max out right on the line). Some how I think this thing fails to read my upload

 

[Chowder Head]

I'm guessing this is pretty crappy for cable?

Nah, better then mine, most providers around here cap the upload to 256kbps

wee. pretty good for montucky

do i get a cookie?
Cox Cable, 12Mbps/1Mbps, the best connection i can get were i live for 55 bucks. for that matter for anything under 300$

T-1s dont go that fast...they're roughly a meg and a half.

There several of these threads posted..search 'm up.

man I dream of a connection like that at the campus where I work! We have dual T1's for both Academic and residential! The internets is painfully slow. Even if I set up rules on our packet shaper to give me some extra bandwidth!

89 megs down..

If I recall there was a 115-ish down somewhere in there too.

 

[Darkstar850]

I am working from home today, so its just 6Mbps cable.
When I am in the data center at work, I am on wan gig-e.

really? idk why but i thought T-1 was fastest cept for OC3 type deals. i'm not very well versed in network protocol, mainly just using it to play games i go to tufts university, any idea what connection it is?

 

[The-One]

• DS0 - 64 kilobits per second
• ISDN - Two DS0 lines plus signaling (16 kilobytes per second), or 128 kilobits per second
• T1 - 1.544 megabits per second (24 DS0 lines)
• T3 - 43.232 megabits per second (28 T1s)
• OC3 - 155 megabits per second (84 T1s)
• OC12 - 622 megabits per second (4 OC3s)
• OC48 - 2.5 gigabits per seconds (4 OC12s)
• OC192 - 9.6 gigabits per second (4 OC48s)

 

[Lord of Shadows]

Nice idea, although I think universities shouldnt count... I'll check out my university real quick. ;o)

(Although I'm not too sure how much they like me starting gnome on my remote X server on what they expect should a console only login)

(/me wonders if I can get on their internet2 backbone)

Tufts definitely has faster than a T1 - T1s are one of the slowest lines you can get now (1.5 Mbps symmetric, but you get a SLA with T1s compared to regular internet connections).

Judging by your speeds, and from the MA area colleges (you're probably 10 miles from me), Tufts has probably an OC-3, and it does an Internet2 Abilene connection.

And yeah, being on a university is cheating. Now let me connect to the telco trunk for a minute... Fastest you can get are the telco trunks, probably, or the experimental research things like OC-768s and OC-1536s.

I know this may be a n00by question. Can I get some information on things Ive heard about "Internet 2" please. Thanks

kk thanks

home connection is 20mbit down and 5 mbit up. good enough for me. We've got a T3 here at work and there's usually quite a bit of traffic.

 

[The-One]

I just can't wait for the 1 gbps download / 1 gbps upload future I see happening in like 23 years.

Yes, I can't wait..

I'm gonna start watching the calendar now

It used to be the fastest thing around... I wish I could afford something faster

100mbit/100mbit @ Norwegian Uni. of Science and Tech.

 

[Rick]

They keep upping the speed. Quite happy with it for C$37/month. They've got a 10 and 16meg service now available but it's $70/$100, can't quite justify it. Trying hard too though

 

[walwalka]

ill get in this on monday from school with our oc3 hehehe

Will try to remember to check home and update later

Holy shit CopyThat, where are you in the TC? I'm in Minnetonka...with speeds nowhere near that, what's your connection/service?

 

[shade91]

Data center connection



No idea as to why the slow download and ping.. might be because I did this test through terminal services.

 

[Yanks2435]

I lose, crappy home connection

They are installing FIOS here though, but I have no clue when it will be done

 

[ntba]

Sympatico High Speed DSL in Southern Ontario, Quite happy for 50 bucks a month CAD.

It was a happy day when it came around my area.

Here's mine, not too bad I don't think for a home cable connection.
