[OFFICAL] Post your internet/ping speed.

[xxMATTGxx]

Considering these threads keep popping up every month and so, here is the official one. So now people don't feel the need on keep posting them.

Nick, I thought you had 100 each way?

Nick, I thought you had 100 each way?

I have access to 100 each way, but in my room it's CPU limited. Technically we're only allowed 10 down and 2 up, but me and a flatmate discovered a way to get around it. Unfortunately Putty only seems single threaded for me, so my CPU is "maxed" at 25% as it's only using one thread, so one core. If it could use more threads I could do 100Mbps. This is for the decryption as we're using SSH.

My flatmate somehow manages to get ~85-90Mbps though and his CPU is doing more than 25% :S.

This is more like it, massive difference between peak and off-peak!

BT Broadband Option 3 (Our maximum line speed is 6Mb/s)


Pretty good ping too..

Because some people don't have access to servers which will give them a 22mbps speed, so unlike others they can't flaunt around their uber fast speed. Perhaps there is some sort of scoring they do where they take ping time into consideration, but you cannot go by the speeds it gives you as accurately as they'd like you to believe, charles!1111

If you don't have close access to a fast server then there's no point in having fast interwebs anyway since you cant use the bandwidth in the first place.


My ping sucks because someone is Torrenting, not sure how I still have the speed though ?!?!

So you're now saying all of hsi internet traffic goes through Speedtest.net's servers? LOL
