sarahjng Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think we get 21mbps, we can finally get fibre optic but locked in to a contract until Feb 2014 but after that will probably go with BT, they reckon we can get 76, so better than we've got but no where near yours Dunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I barely scrape in 1Mb I am 13 miles away from my exchange and haven't got a hope in hells chance of getting a fibre connection this century. YET. . . . About a mile and a half away is a Fibre connection Box. But because that is on a different exchange I can't get it. and I can't be reconnected to a different exchange. When I retire. . .I'm Moving !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/653112139 That's all I get and I think that's fast!! Although I am changing providers because of costs so I'll have to say goodbye to those speeds as I'll only get about 6Mbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterchillz Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Not a lot, but it's fine for me as I usually get up to 10 MBs per second when torrenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbrown1028 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I am running a business out of my house and I also have 2 offices, one in California and the other in New York, the California Office is a SAS 70 Type II compliant data centers and has Multiple carrier options available (AT&T, MCI/Verizon, Level3, AboveNet, XO, Cox, Time Warner Telecom and more) with multiple fiber route entrances to building. Which means if I turn off all of the servers and hook up a single PC to the mega switch, the speed of the internet is faster then my PC can take the data in and out. So I guess since I am running a Gig card for my network it would probably cap out at 1 GB down and 1 GB up. Although mathematically it would calculate to 2.56 TB/s times 3 so roughly about 8 TB/s. The New York office is 50 down and 5 up. Here in my house I am running a simple OC-128 line which is 6.2 GB/s but with 6 processing servers for print, media, traffic security (IP Cop Box), DVR (Security Camera's) and internet which I usually cap out at 760ish meg per second up and down. I also think that is a limitation of my hard drives, switch and NIC. Sometimes the perks for an Internet based company is the hardware and software I get to blow money on. Sorry if this sounds like bragging, I really didn't mean it that way, just thought someone would be interested in my setup, and if I would have just posted 6.2 GB/s and showed a speed test of 760ish MB per second that would have started a bunch of questions so I kind of went into more details than I needed to there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatipu Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I only get 5 mb ... My parents claim they pay a lot for it but for people that make really decent money and since all of us watch movies a lot on our computers... 5mb is crappy especially if someone decides to stream HD .. D: ... Would totally kill for better download/upload speeds x_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
