What is your network speeds?

[Jay FX4]

I question the validity of this test. According to Comcast, I am capable of 12Mbps download speeds. According to Newsleecher, I am getting 12Mbps average, with spikes up to 16Mbps. I am positive that the Newsleecher software is accurate, and my true download speeds are double what this test shows.

this isn't accurate anyways. this has nothing to do with your ability to surf. I was downloading a Video that that speed test I should have in 30 sec ..... took almost 2 min to download it.

Keep in mind, web sites throttle download speeds, I have mine set for 256k download per connection.

I know that upload/download speeds really don't have an effect on web surfing. To underscore that, Comcast recently boosted my download speed from 6Mbps to 12, and as I expected, loading times of web pages remained the same - or at least not noticeably faster.

I've downloaded quite a few terabytes of stuff off Usenet via the Newsleecher software. I've always had the 6Mbps deal through Comcast, and that's exactly the download speeds I'd get. Comcast recently doubled the speed, and I can tell that my downloads are twice as fast - there's no doubt about it. So when my software is telling me, in real time, that I'm averaging 12Mbps, I know it's true.

After running this test, I did some experimenting with Newsleecher. The software allows for 10 simultaneous connections to the server, and I always use all 10. Just to see what would happen, I dropped it down to 1 connection to see if that would affect my download speeds. It didn't. Instead of 10 connections all downloading smaller chunks of a file at once, the single connection simply took bigger "bites". It all worked out the same either way- same average download speed, and same total amount of time to download the file.

This proves to me that this "speed test" is bunk.

I'm using my phone to post so i can't capture the speed test thingy i see everyone did but i check mine at the house using a Speakeasy sight. You pick a server closest to you mine being NYC and run the test. It even looks like a speedo and tach lol. In any event i believe it measured in kilobytes which DL was 23,000. UL was around 14. Now i know with some mathematics that's not 23 and 14 meg.. it's a little less than that. Of course if i run the test again i usually get a slightly different number. But for multimedia i have no complaints

Suppose to be 15 Mb according to the new package we just signed up for.
Liars!

And to think the server was only 40 miles away too.

Look at my posts. This "test" is nowhere near accurate.
