What Speed Do You Get?

[BILLY-THE-FISH]

What speed do you get? and Where are you?

With My 512/256 ADSL on average I get about 458kb download speed which I think is quite good!! :D With a top speed ever of 461kb! :D

I'm in the UK

If you wanna try a test try this site

Speed Test (http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/)

512/256k Pipex ADSL B)

I think mine is 1.5Mbit. I never get constant speeds over 200KB/sec, it always starts off at around 400KB then drops down from 100-175KB/sec.

I don't believe you're getting those sort of speeds, unless you have read it wrong. I have a 1MB connection which includes a 256k/b upload.

Maximum speeds I am capable of are:

Download: 125kb/sec
Upload: 30kb/sec

Technically, you should have roughly half of what I get, thus you should see:

Download: 62.5kb/sec
Upload: 15kb/sec

I think you may have meant to say 45.8kb/sec, which if so is pretty bad for what you're paying for. Hope this makes sense. Don't want to see people celebrating when infact they're getting ripped off :unsure:

1Mb/sec = (1024/8) = 128kB/sec

1024 kilobots / second = 128 kilobytes / second

most services are quoted in kilobits per second (or megabits), however, download speeds you'll see are generally in kilobytes per second :)

I know what your saying, but what is your d/l speed in kbps?

I must admit it is a bit confusing about KB&#39;S and kb&#39;s but I&#39;m quoting just what I read from the speed test sites so thats how we should compare with each other, if we all use kbps then we&#39;ll know&#33;

Here is my result from the page that 3rd gen noob used,bare in mind I am from Nova Scotia Canada and the speed test originates in the UK.

512/128 adsl i get 53k a sec :)

[Samurai]

As for my previous post, I think the majority knew I meant kB/Sec :lol:

Sorry if I confused anyone there... wasn&#39;t intentional. Here are my results from the speed test software located at ADSL Guide (http://www.adslguide.org.uk/). Click here (http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedchart.asp?id=e0e3720ff98251e8cce0e3720f) for my personal test.

ISP: NTL
DOWNLOAD: 109.9 kB/Sec
UPLOAD: 30.1 kB/Sec

I must stress at this point, I was running Live Update but it hasn&#39;t seem to altered the findings too much... As I mentioned before, I usually get 125kB/Sec Vs 30kB/Sec

Hope this helps anyone,

I have 512/128 adsl, I get about 400kb/s downstream and 90kb/s upstream.

My download speed top is 72kb/s but on average about 51kb/s my uploads are about 15kb/s.

im in australia.

BTW guys the first guy that said his speed was 458kb/s or what ever he was talking about Downstream not Download thats why he said test it here&#33;&#33;

are you talking about Bulldog (http://www.bulldogdsl.com/residential/home.asp)?

if so, their fastest is 6Mbps, and you can get residential T3 in the UK (even dual trunk T3), but it&#39;s obviously rather expensive and rare

people who work for comms companies get very fast comms lines too...

[cwctv]

rather expensive and rare

Thats the UK for you always behind and will be till BT get sacked.

[h121589]

22.0Mbps

[ButWay]

5.3 Mbit/sec

while downloading from BT at 310kB/sec
