What speed is 100 Mbps? Ive test it on Numion Numion and the result was: 250 - 300 kbps.
1. The browser that Im using changes anything in the results?
2. What 100 Mbps (the speed according to the connection status of Windows) and the result of the test 250 - 300 kbps means?
All i have to say (because i really don't understand your 2 questions) is:
- 573kbps on a 3.3Mbps connection :01: :smilie4:
Edit:
And using their Maxspeed test:

Your question is not too clear but I think the 100mbps refers to the speed windows can connect at, that is the speed it could transfer data to another computer if your PC was on a network. You don't need to be concerned with that for downloading.Quote:

Answer #1 - The browser you use shouldn't make any difference for download speed when your connection is maxed but some browsers are better than others at a more subtle level, Firefox is the best, all round.
Answer #2 - The 250-300 kbps likely refers to your download speed, i.e. you can transfer files to your PC at around 300kbps, that relates to a connection of around 2 megabits (2 mbps)
slow for you?Quote:

Maybe your having connection probs. :01:
When you connect to internet windows shows a icon on the taskbar, ok? When you click this icon it shows the speed of the connection (I think), the sent and received bytes and the name of the connection.
Second: Im using Firefox, but if I use Opera Browser or IE or any browser, the speed shown by the speedtest will be the same? Ive tried with IE, Opera and Firefox:
Results: 1. IE 2. Firefox 3. Opera
Third: Here is the test results using Firefox:
Test
Using IE:
Test
The max speed couldnt be done using firefox (I dont know why: I enabled the java and installed a new version)
Maxspeed using IE:
MaxSpeed
How can you paste images here?
Hey Filliz what browser you use?

Download speed is ok.
It used to be faster,but i guess by boosting my upload with 5kB,my ISP took a chunk out of my dl speed <_<
And yeah...i do have some problems with my connection (massive TCP's all from the same ip-range) :ghostface:
I really should get that sorted out with my ISP because i have to reboot my computer every couple of hours because i can't view webpages anymore("Page can not be displayed").Though looking at the status of my connection it states that i'm still connected :blink:
Just so you know... kbps usually means Kbits/s not bytes.
For you to be getting 537 kbps on a 3300 kbps connection is very bad.
To determine how many BYTES you get per second. Take your connection speed and devide it by 8. There are 8 bits in a byte.
100 Mbps would be around 12.5 kB/s (bytes).
That site doesnt appear to be very accurate either. ;)
First off 100mbps is just what it says, 100 megabits per second, or 100,000 kilobits per second or 12500 kilobytes per second. That is not his connection rate. It is likely his ethernet card speed - the speed that it connects to the other computers on his home network, if he had one, not the speed that it's connecting to the internet.Quote:

No home users have 100mbps connections, not even in Sweden ;)
Also the dividing by eight thing to convert from bits to bytes is OK if you live in your ISP's headquarters, if not then you have to allow for bad connections and dirty lines, making the true divisory factor nearer 10, on average I'd say about 9.5.
Btw to differentiate if "they" mean kiloBYTES per second or kiloBITS per second on official literature you look at how it's written. Kilobytes = Kbps and kilobits = kbps (note the capital 'K')
unless you live in japan or have FTTH line you ain't got 100mbits

#1) The kind of browser u use makes lots of diffrence, i used IE to test my speed and i didnt get half of my real speed then i used FireFox and i got almost 70% of my real Speed.
#2) 100Mb is not ur banfwitdh its Local Area network's bandwtidh
300Kb/s is good, u probley have the 512Kbits/s download and 256kbits/s upload connection which ull get arround 70 to 80kbs when u download.
Windows reports the possible connection speed of your NIC card. The real speed can be tested on a number of sites on the WEb or just by using a good p2p client and downloading/uploading a lot of files.
Sharing is Caring...... Be Safe......
so where are these connection speed testers located??? I have High Speed Cable Internet so i wanted to see whats the highest i cn go.
128kb = 1000bits
