    Sal, I am not sure why the test distance is so important. I figured the only thing that mattered was how fast your connection to your ISP was on your primary PC. What does speed on a home network have to do with my internet connection speed?
    Not trying to break your shoes, I just don't know what you were implying with those different tests, that's all. I mean, wouldn't you want the fastest [possible] speed you could get?
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    As requested. I did some speedtest to various regions far away from me to see what my connection would do. Not bad. I think many of you guys have good speed results as well, but I understand for the really fast stuff there is a premium to be paid in the USA. Next month Japan will release it's true 1GB fiber line for home use so I should be upgrading here shortly as it becomes available. Imagine that.............that should scream.

    will try it early tomorrow when no one els is using the connection. might try it from one of the nice computer labs and see if they have faster connections.

    The closer you are to your testing area the faster the speed will be.

    Who cares how fast my connection is if I am viewing website hosted in NJ.

    I want to know how fast my connection will be if I am viewing a website in CA, or downloading from an ftp site in Italy.

    That is a true test of an ISP, one that can give you 20Megs from any point in the world.


    I just spoke about the home network speeds because some people don't realize that 20Megs from Verizon Fios is only 1/5 the speed that you get on your home network.

    That internet speeds for the general public have not met the speeds of internal networks.

    If you copy a file from your daughter's pc to your pc in your house over a wired network you are copying it at 100megs

    If you copy a file from an ftp site in NYC then most likely you are copying it at 2Megs or less. There's a Big difference.

    In order to get the fastest speeds at a longer distance it will go to the company who owns the most fiber in their backbone, and in the US that is Verizon, and then AT&T.

    PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    Here is what I get. First one is to washington although when I am downloading software from the evil empire I am actually no where close to this.

    Figure this is close to ESPN's host site for ESPN360

    OK, I can understand a little better now, thanks for the info !

    Just for the Hell of it, I tried the connection test to other sites around the globe, and sure enough, much slower results, even from the main PC in my living room (wired connection). I guess that's why sometimes my daughters' linkups to Club Penguin is sometimes pathetically slow, even though other sites come up in a matter of seconds.

    Club Polk is usually pretty quick, though, I guess it's close by? :)
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Or because for the most part it's all text? It's not very graphic intensive and will usually load quickly on any non dial-up connection.

    Nice Speed, try testing at various other locations that are farther away.

    Are you at work?

    How much does that connection cost?

    Work == Home.

    No that would be a connection from one of my servers. It's on a 1GigE line.

    My home connection speed is far more pathetic.
