Blairgowrie Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 sqed and I were discussing speed tests last night. I use several but find this one to be the most reliable and accurate. Usually, I select the Chicago one but the closer the better. Arsenal, I see you have one right in Atlanta. It would be interesting to see some examples from the DD's and Hellers, and in particular, the gents who host. Here is the link for the speedtest: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ BG Quote
sged Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Did some test myself.. Dutch connection test; => download 901,5 kbyt/sec upload 30,4 kbyt/sec connection 721,0 con/min Since I'm much online with you guys from the UK and US, I did some more tests with a UK based server, a random based US server, and 2 tests on the site BG posted...One with New York as host, the other with Chicago as host... Note that though the download speed varies, the upload is pretty much constant.... UK: Random US: You think my connections are good or great? New York based test: Chicago based test: Quote
Beebop-RIP Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 From the Seattle server, 200 miles from me: Quote
Blairgowrie Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 Very interesting guys. Very good download speed sged but your upload speed may be holding you back a bit. I wonder why the Internet Service Providers are so stingy with the upload speeds. Quote
sged Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Yer, I know....I can upgrade one more subscription to 20mb, but upload stays the same, so not really a reason for me to pay much more.... Maybe I should give em a call and ask for more upload speed?? Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted July 13, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 13, 2006 Results of my lowly 521 ADSL line, I am told I'm finally getting a free upgrade to 2Mb next month, upload should be in the region of 600-800 too Asynchronous speeds are normal, but Sged your upload is relatively urm... appalling seeing that figure alongside your download speed. Again this reinforces the need for us to get our network connection speed right in the IL2 setup, and to use the lower of the two figures as our target. Did the game remain smooth last night? FROM BG It was very smooth and didn't see any lag but we didn't have that many players about a dozen if I recall, so it wasn't a true test. But I definitely think we are heading in the right direction. At least we now all have an understanding of what is involved. The true test should come when Glenn does his next "biggie" Quote
delta7 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 results to chicago - I have virgin.net as ISP download 1849 upload 237 Iv just checked my ISP and I have a free upgrade option to 6mbps so Iv signed up for this - they need to check my line to make sur eits compatable but hopefully I get this soon Quote
sged Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Just upgraded my account...for 20 bucks more a month I now have a higher upload speed, at 15mb connection I hope this one is better?... Second test to the UK :D Quote
Blairgowrie Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 That is some smoking download speed sqed. Quote
sged Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Hehe.....the contract states that I should get a download of 15 mbps and 512 kbps upload...so it's pretty close huh? Quote
Shadow Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Hi BG, I like those upload speeds! Any idea if your carrier is available down here in the Big Smoke? Quote
Blairgowrie Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 They are out of Waterloo by the name of Packet Works. It is high speed wireless and you need line of sight and be within 20 kms of their tower. They are going to upgrade me first week in August and I hope to get much faster speeds both up and down.

Tonar Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Got me 1300 download and 890 upload Fair I guess for $35 a month :? Quote
Blairgowrie Posted August 21, 2006 Author Posted August 21, 2006 Just got my Internet connection upgraded today. Fookin thing really smokes now! BG Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 21, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 21, 2006 Smokin barely describes it BG! Your upload is FASTER than your download.......cookin' on gas m8 Quote
Blairgowrie Posted August 21, 2006 Author Posted August 21, 2006 They just came and tweaked it and it is now 13,500 down and 13,600 up. Just by moving the dish 1 degree they picked up another 1,600 down. I won't be able to sleep tonight Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 21, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 21, 2006 Bloody hell BG, impressive. There's me sitting here doing a 2Gb download of the Beta Windows Driver Kit (thinking of seeing if I can make a 'combiner' for joysticks like the CH offering) and seeing it's going to take 11 hours!! Quote
sged Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 What did ya have to do to get such speeds BG? Dig another pond?? Quote
Blairgowrie Posted August 22, 2006 Author Posted August 22, 2006 that sure is a HUGE erection BG All this talk of HUGE erections got me thinking about blow jobs. BG Quote
JensenPark Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Just got my Internet connection upgraded today. Fookin thing really smokes now! HOLY F**K BG... That is freakin' fast. I bet you can back in time with that speed. BG Quote
JensenPark Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I think those arials and dishes are to contact BG's mothership. The invasion starts soon! Of course BG's property is so big, even with those huge upload/download speeds, it still takes e-mails 5 minutes to get from BG's house to the servants quarters by the west clubhouse. Quote
