The Interwebs ad DL speed.

Edit: Jarkko cleared things up. My bad.

Still felt good to rant about it.

I think you're confusing things. According to the test, your connection's download speed is 6.47 megaBITS, which means getting a download rate of 750 kiloBYTES is pefectly normal. Likewise, with my 24 megaBITS connection, I can usually hit a bit over 2 megaBYTES per second.

 

[SocialNumb]

You're right. I'm confusing the test results with what I'm supposed to be getting. Moment of frustration. That should help when I call back. My bad, that lady worked me up.

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

There's nothing like calling up your ISP and confessing you've been a bit of a doofus.

 

[SocialNumb]

They tricked my ass. (Major dumb ass on my part) I'm switching to Comcast. Screw ATT!

I think they use the "stupid treatment" to intentionally confuse you. That's what it did to me anyways. Not like she corrected me.

You were complaining about 6 Mbit/s? Screw you lol
My line supports a max of 2. That means I'm getting dial up speeds at best.

 

[J the TyranT]

Is mine good?

 

[azistenostora]

Oh fuck off

And boo UK with all the ancient copper wires all over the place.

I love how you can just paste the url of your speedtest result into your browser and change the number to view other peoples result. If I deduct 1 from mine I get http://www.speedtest.net/result/1644074663.png
Holy shit, Kiev has speeds of 86 Mbit/s

I'm crippled by Wi-Fi speed. It's a lot faster on LAN cable.

Probably a lot more useful if everyone just changed speedtest.net to read in megabytes.

 

[Djunn]

Just divide it to 8.

Data transfer rates are pretty much always stated in megabits.

Yes, and for good reason. The bit is a well defined unit, the byte is machine dependant and therefore no use for measuring speeds between arbitrary machines

 

[The Front Studio]

Holy shit

Think I've got the worst so far, I too am from the UK

My job sucks

Where is the "Loser" smiley when you need it...

Where is the "Loser" smiley when you need it...

my company logo might do the job

but to be fair, its because the people here are idiots and decided to use a 2nd rate provider just because the corporate office which is 60 miles away has an account with them. So for them, the actual provider is only like 15 miles away and they get good speeds ... we get the crap thats left over

Can't wait to get home where I truly get to be a butterfly

hmmmm....
