Wahey I got over double the average
Sent from my hd2 desire

Oh yeah... i guess you got virgin 50mb 2 mile wide band!!!
Lucky!

I think I'm doing good then.

0.01 above average!!!!!! Woooo!

7 mb above the average was always lucky, cosmos love me

Almost double the average now.

Nice to see that my connection speed is only beaten by the Koreans. Heartbreaking to see so much of the world still struggling with below par connections though.

Read somewhere today about some community in California getting gigabit connections. I think it was 1000mb/s down, 100mb/s up for $69. I dont even know what I would use that kind of speed for.

Hmm, can't see Norway on that list, but i have 20Mb/sek

Well my work connection speed is way below average but at home I get 27mb max and I've gotton 10mb upload

Woo! I have FiOS so I pay for 50mbit up 50mbit down. I normally get 55mbit down and 47mbit up.

My broadband is better than yours.

Just had my service provider bump up my service. I like what I see....

How much is that running you?
Too Much!!!
Mines bigger...

This is at my work on a normal running day.
These are my speeds at work. I think my home connection may actually beat them. How sad.
Home is a little faster down and slower up, go figure.

Holy Moly.... Don't ever try and Upload anything, ever... Damn.
Mine's in my sig, it's what I have on internet sharing, not very high, but works quite well ! Especially considering the cost.
mine is also utterly pathetic.
The one i'm using right now (not at home) is 11m down and 2m up, but my home connection is 3m down and 350k up.
I need more upload for my youtube, and more download is never a bad thing.
Hmm...and here I was thinking that I had this really fast connection...
...Guess not.

Australia's got some pretty crap internet connection - mainly upload wise.. so expensive too.
EDIT: second attempt:
You would think the server closesest to ya would give the best results. I live in the Dallas area, and when using the Dallas server I get....
Using the server in Houston, the results are.....
Using one in Canada has these results....
This is to be expected since most of their infrastructure up there is still tin cans and string.

WTF!! dialup in the year 2010??

i cant believe it, i just saw a tv commercial for dialup!
"America's broadband users can save $16 billion a year and save $300 a year individually by switching to netzero dialup for 9.99$ a month. call 1800netzero or go to netzero.com"
i wouldnt go back to 56k dialup if YOU PAY ME 9.99$ a month!
i have 1000,000,000 mb/s broadband lol
I don't understand why anyone would go back to dialup if they were on DSL, cable, FiOS, or any other high-speed connection. I remember dialup as being absolute hell. You couldn't call anyone while they were online, or you would get a busy signal. Waiting for a picture or site to load would take forever. And all that waiting was just so you could see animated GIF backgrounds and listen to embedded midi while reading blinking text on someone's geocities page. The only person I know with dialup is my uncle, but he has to have it because he's in too rural a town for cable or DSL.
I remember my mom (just to mess with us) would sometimes intentionally pick up the phone while my sister or I was online, and dial random buttons so I'd lose my connection and have to reconnect the modem .
here is a video of netzero, (not the shorter version i saw on tv commercial)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLVUqhxdCUk&feature=related
we all get fater speeds using our phones and internet sharing lol
Yeah, I saw a commercial for some company who was advertising their services as being faster than "just" dial up, recently. I just was like, um.... okay? Dial up has not been relevant for a couple of years now. My dad, who lives in a town with a population of 300 (that was as of 2000), has DSL!
I just P!55ED my pants..
NetZero said:
What connection speeds does NetZero offer?
NetZero Platinum members can access NetZero's services at speeds up to 56k, using V.90 compression technology. Slower modems will also be able to connect at 28.8k, and 33.6k. We do not recommend connections slower than 28.8k.

No offense for the Chinese Friends, but anyone here have faced the same problem? lol

That's fantastic, but in fairness to the Chinese faking people you should take a look at an episode of the last TopGear series. They show the fake cars they make over there, direct copys of the latest models and some are pretty damn good for what they are

Hey, at least he gets a 1TB thumb drive for $4. Cheers up.

Really nice that someone believes he can buy 1TB for 4$
He has him self to blame, love the big wall bolts

How machiavelian are you?

Do this test and tell us?
http://personality-testing.info/tests/MACH-IV.php
In case you dont know what MACH IV is, here is a quick descrption:
"Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527) was an Italian politician and philosopher who is famous for his advocacy of political ethics that hold effectiveness as more important that morality. He is the source of the phrase "the ends justify the means".
In the 1960s, social psychologists Richard Christie and Florence L. Geis, who collected statements from Machiavelli's writings and asked people how much they agreed with each, concluded that Machiavellianism exists as a distinct personality trait. They published the MACH-IV in 1970 and it has been a popular instrument ever since. "
I have a score of 87. But then, why should you trust me?

You poor trusting soul. SMH...
that design is.. very specific ^^
nvm
Your score was 79 of 100.
This puts you in the category of the high Machs, people who do not belive in the goodness of the world and that because that it must be manipulated, people who Machiavelli would approve of.

Where? And wow I guess I do need an upgrade. Regular 4g is slow compared to that!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
Use DL Booster and you can see speeds like 75+ Mbps! Depends on Wifi+LTE speed though.
are you in a wideband area or is this only with the download booster (wifi+lte)
I was actually able to hit 100mbps on the T mobile network no download booster on speedtest. Ya i know doesnt mean much without a picture but I'm at work. Either way I was amazed

Jeeze, the most I have ever gotten on Tmo in my entire life is like 30mbs down, lol.. is that a constant speed?
100mbps? I'd have to see it to believe it. I have gotten over 50 before, but nothing close to a 100. I have gotten over 75 with Verizon. Honestly, it's fast but not like a huge difference from 30 imho.

Here you go I was blown away. My T-Mobile service has been better where I live than my Verizon service stronger signal and faster data.
I couldn't figure out how to upload a picture so here's a link from my result that I shared to Ookla. In that area it was pretty constant between 80-100mbps. At home I only get 10, but that's about as low as it gets in my area.

Well, I guess I shall eat crow. That's impressive!
