Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Ahh, if only it tested a larger file to get an accurate reading.

The school I go to has a T1 line...for the whole district. That's like 12 schools.

Our download speeds get lower than 56k sometimes.

And I live in a place nicknamed "Silicon Valley" You'd think they should get a better line...they've has this one since like 1980.

I envy you.

The downstream in my dorm room sometime exceed 10MBits but at the moment it's just like a regular cable (~3Mbits). But in most other computer labs 30mbits babe.. :D

when I download big files from my own server (which has little bandwidth..) I feel hurt.. :D

Yeah, being on an unmetered DS3 certainly sucks.

If only we had bought the Gigaman. :stickout:
