We are currently having "issues" with our ISP, and need a way to accurately speed check a wireless connection. We've been using the speedchecks at DSLreports.com, but our ISP (Clearwire) is claiming they are inaccurate. What I'd like is a few different ones that I can use, so as to throw a list of dif. sources to prove that their "not effected by weather or distance" connection is pure crap. We'd go DSL but Verizion has its head up their jeffries tube, and a T1 is currently out of our budgetal reach for now. ><

Danke. :)

try the MSN speed check: http://computingcentral.msn.com/internet/speedtest.asp

Damn, I'm connecting at 39.4 kps :(

I tested out at 40.9k......

mine came out 3709.1 kbps is that good?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! shut the **** up!! that isn't far!!!! you are 94.139539086294....etc. times faster then me!!

You : 40800 kbps

Hmm...looks ok I guess... :D
Yeah I think I'm fast enough
LoL

Mmm... I don't know if cnet's speed check works quite as well since you're only downloading a 100k file... I think uploading then downloading a file through ftp might work a little better, or speedtest.net might work also... (I would say poopz.com, but it's not there I think now.. ^^;;)

Here's the tester that I use:

http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/default.asp


It clocks my DSL link at 1,230kbits/sec

Oh... slightly lag behind mine @ 8912kbps


* P.S J/K 344kbps here.. what connection you're using to score that!?

...no wonder my connection was so slow all day. Only 1620 kbps :D

Our 256K Clearwire connection is currently benchmarking in at 64k. >>>_<<< hit a low point of 16k yesterday. GAH!!! A wet string is faster! :angry:

hehe, i'm on cable and this is what i got from pcpitstop:
Text Block Size 200 KB
Download Time 3400 ms
Receive Buffer 64240 bytes
Transmission Speed 471 Kb/s

the second time i did it
Text Block Size 5000 KB
Download Time 92000 ms
Receive Buffer 64240 bytes
Transmission Speed 435 Kb/s

I'm on a slow connection....

Transmission Speed 4255 Kb/s

You 696.2 kbps not too shabby ; )

the computingcentral one shows 497 kbps

altho same, at downloads.com it shows 1006.2 kbps

the pc pitstop one shows

Text Block Size 200 KB
Download Time 792 ms
Receive Buffer Default
Transmission Speed 2020 Kb/s

Text Block Size 200 KB
Download Time 10880 ms
Receive Buffer Default
Transmission Speed 147 Kb/s

I'm on cable as well, but i'm in AUS thats the reason for the horrible results =(:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

The 200kB text block size may be too small to get a good reading with the high-speed of your connection. I like to pick the text block size to be large enough so that the test runs for at least 30 seconds. That gives a better longer-term average on the speed.

You can have a complete test at the following site to check the speed of your connection

www.bandwidthplace.com
www.testmyspeed.com

I just used three of these testing sites and got three wildly different results :confused:

Ironically the site testing site here in the UK gave me the lowest throughput.

Looks like they may be a bit untrustworthy.

I got 97.1 on my cable connection in India using MSN.

There was a more interesting result I got when I clicked the back button on the browser. Now the speed was shown to be 'infinity' ;)

Woohooo

2049 Kb/s

On my cable modem :)

2049k in Canada? Doesnt that convert to only 1200k US?

Oh wait, this is speed, not cash. :D

either way, ya still doing warp 10 compared to my 10 speed. ;)
