Re: Just Got High speed Internet ('75 383 ElkGrove)
I'm at work, and the system was rated at 1.6 megabits per second
Your raw speed was 1648755.82 bits per second which is the same as:
Communications 1.6 megabits per second
Storage 201.3 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 5.1 seconds
This is like 50 times faster than my snail-modem at home :eek:

Re: Just Got High speed Internet (Silvr77)
I have had high-speed for about three years. You take it for granted after awhile. I'm currently using a telephone line hookup and it is very dependable.

Re: Just Got High speed Internet (paul79)
I just didthe speed check thing and it says I'm running at 386 KBps. My little desktop icon says 10 Meg when I check the connection status. I think my ISP is trying to seem faster than they really are.

Re: Just Got High speed Internet (HDIronman)
Cable is the only way to go. Like they you can never go back. It is fast. As quick as you click on the forum topic with pics, they are there.
I did the speed test and got this
Communications 1.7Mbps
Storage 210Kbps
1 MB file download 4.9 seconds
You will love it.

From home with DSL results:
Details
Your raw speed was 1222837.4 bits per second which is the same as:
Communications
1.2 megabits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet
Storage
149.3 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how file sharing and FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.
1MB file download
6.9 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.

Don't get confused: the icon showing 10Meg is showing you the speed of your network card. If you were on a 100 Megabit network and had a 10/100 card it would display 100.
At 386K that sounds like home DSL not cable. Is that correct?
