Re: Post Your Internet speeds
Fairly standard residential connection:
We have 2mb at work and that's more than fast enough. When I was at university the connection speed was limited by the 100mb ethernet, though that was only really usable when downloading from Microsoft - most other servers would cap at about 512kb.

Re: Post Your Internet speeds
Does it make a difference this was tested when I was connected wireless to our router?

I was connected wirelessly and got approximately the same result from speedtest as was reported on the router's web-based config screen.

Re: Post Your Internet speeds
Wow, loooks like I'm the fastest by quite a margin. What kind of hookup do you guys get outside of the US? I get broadband cable through Cox. They advertise 3Mbit/s, and it looks like they're pretty darn close. Most things are throttled server-side, though, so not too much of an advantage.

Re: Post Your Internet speeds
Bog standard ADSL here; "up to 8mb" is the standard residential speed. You can get faster (up to 40mb on Virgin) by paying to get fibre optic put in, but it's hardly worth it.

Re: Post Your Internet speeds
Cable, not the fastest though - the same ISP offers 30Mbit / 3Mbit (so only 10Mbit/s more download throughput - for a WAY higher price)
And IMO that's barely worth it, my d/l connection is rarely maxed out anyway and the upload speed and latency are much more important. Maybe someday when I want to download movies in 10 minutes instead of 15 minutes..

Wow, that's fast.
Ah, Amsterdam. That would explain it.

Re: Post Your Internet speeds
I think University Twente explains it rather more.
Re: Post Your Internet speeds
Did it display the ISP before? I don't remember seeing that.
