[weigin]

Hello,

I am thinking of buying a dedicated server from one of the two provider I shortlisted below. Before I decide, I need to test the download speed from different location. It would be great if you could help.

Provider 1:
http://webserver.webvis.net/test.zip

Provider 2:
http://www.rackmine.com/misc/test.zip


I need to know
where you are from :
Your connection type :
download speed :

Thanks in advance.

rackmine = 150k/sec

webvis = 34k/sec

test was on 4mbit cable in arizona...

Webvis 50k/sec
