Wow, you dont know much, do you? NLR and Internet2 provide commodity internet to connected institutions. Since the pipe to the major providers is larger than the NCREN pipe to commodity providers, if the site is being preferred through NLR/I2, the speeds are much better.

I suspect all of this went over your head, however. Continue to be ignorant.

No, I understand perfectly. You're a moron. This thread isn't about Internet2.

Your post was the equivalent of discussing a supercar in a Garage thread about daily drivers.

Also, from the OP:

Dude, you still dont get it. Internet2 and NLR are like Time Warner. Anyone connecting to their commercial peering service is going to get more connectivity for commodity internet through them than any other service. I'm sorry I have more transit options that you, but how is this thread any good if its a bunch of time warner speedtest results. You're the moron.

You are beyond help.

I'm more or less interested in comparing different ISPs in different locales, different technologies, that are available for home usage. So comparing AT&T Uverse to Qwest, or comparing Comcast to TWC, or VZW to AT&T Wireless, that is beneficial. What speed you get at work doesn't help.

It's also relevant to see trends, like the VZW trend of lowering speeds, last September speeds were much higher on VZW than now... or like the trend of TWC to limit upload speeds to 370kbps, lol.

^ Fair enough

"All these sites dont have enough BW to show my connections correct potential"

I'm not sure I follow you. Why wouldn't your connection's potential is equal to the throughput that you're seeing for each respective server. How can you be so sure that all potential bottle-necks along the path are related to the networks hosting the test servers, not your own edge (or that of your upstream)?

"Does have the best upload speeds"

What exactly are you saying here? Are you claiming the title?

I think what walkmanfades is saying is that most of these threads have been geared towards 'Internet' speed tests- ie practical speed tests demonstrating your throughput results to prefixes reachable via peering and/or transit, not on-net prefixes like you're suggesting.

That's about the best RR result I've seen... times 20.

4/15/2011 2:57:24 PM

How so? Pings a little higher than usual and the upload is a little slower but it's pretty consistent 24/7 as noted here:



hehe.

TWC has like four packages now I believe. 10/1, 15/1, 30/5, and 50/5. I do wish they offered 10 up though instead of just 5.

4/15/2011 3:01:43 PM

what do you mean how so? look at all the other RR results in here...

pretty much EVERY single RR result I've seen averages 0.36-0.49 Mbps upload... it's terrible.

.5mbps upload I wouldn't say is "terrible" for your average consumer but TWC has bumped it up to 1mbps minimum now. 3 and 5 on the higher plans. Their standard plan is now 10mbit download. Most of my friends now pay for 30/5 and it's roughly $50-60 depending on where you started. I wouldn't call that bad at all.

4/15/2011 6:28:20 PM

At my friends place with the 30/5. He's in an apartment complex near uptown Charlotte. He says it's consistent 24/7.

4/16/2011 10:57:20 AM

I'm glad RR finally joined the 21st century. And yes .5Mbps upload is terrible, I've had twice that on my CELL PHONE for well over a year.

4/16/2011 11:31:59 AM

I agree I do enjoy the faster upload and yes on AT&T my upload has been 1.5mbps forever. My Sprint hotspot gets 2-3+ upload and 7-10 down. My work Verizon BB is the slowest though. Verizon needs to step up their game already.

In general though I don't think .512 was holding THAT many consumers back. Aside from uploading pictures or videos most consumers don't an need incredibly fast upload.

best at home non dorm upload speed ITT yo!!!

4/17/2011 10:22:14 PM

While that is impressive I'd much rather have 50mbps down and live with 5 up. I use remote desktop a lot and 5 is plenty.

best at home non dorm download speed ITT?!

word on the skreet is that our office will be bumping up to symmetric 30Mbit. And guess who got approval to install a wifi repeater on the roof?

Yea I only live like 2 blocks from the office...

12/4/2011 6:40:50 PM

^nice.

12/4/2011 6:42:16 PM

to go from 10/10 to 20/20 is only like an extra 100 bucks a month. I should probably look into that.

1000/1000 is only like 9k/month though!

12/4/2011 7:03:22 PM

Difficult choices.

Just got an AT&T 4g LTE hotspot in Charlotte. Not too shabby.

12/7/2011 7:31:55 PM

Server: Philadelphia, PA. does not compute. you on a VPN?

12/7/2011 7:51:09 PM

Nope. Just AT&T in Charlotte. It defaults to Philly at the beginning of the test.
