who's got the fastest connection?

well we've had science mark and aquamark,3dmark 05 and 06.so i thought lets have a internet connection speed contest.

heres mine-


go here-www.speedtest.net and run the test,they have servers all over the world.copy the link they provide and paste it in here and lets have a laff and a cry over who has the beastlyest or badest connection speed.

Not bad for being 2400 miles away . $30 a month, GREAT way to spend it. I have faster upload speeds then cable, and an equivalent download speed, despite all their commercials.

Cool for a 2Mb connection i guess it's only 15€ a month...

PS->Try different servers cause some servers may be closer to you and give you worse results

It does suffice for what I do now but I wish I had my old 10mb/1mb connection I had from COX back at Irvine, and its cheaper than this too.

ok for my closest location


And the furthest location



all on comcast standard service 6mb/350k with a modem that don't use speed boost because what good is 8megs if it only stays that fast for a minute

and can anyone explain why cables upload speed is so disproportionate im thinking of switching to Verizon fios 10m/10m for the same $50 usd if it ever is available in my area
