    Bellsouth Upgrade

    in Show off your speed

    Posted

    Well, it's always refreshing to wake up in the morning and see that your connection speed has increased by half a megabit....

    :::.. Download Stats ..:::

    Connection is:: 3022 Kbps about 3 Mbps (tested with 2992 KB)

    Download Speed is:: 369 KB/s

    Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/

    Test Time:: Sat Feb 26 10:46:57 CST 2005

    Bottom Line:: 54X faster than 56K 1MB download in 2.78 sec

    Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 77.56 % faster than the average for host (bellsouth.net)

    Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/id-T3L2J45BK

    Previously it was about 2500 Kbps.... From what I hear on DSL reports, Bellsouth has done this because there were complaints about the Xtreme package not getting what it was supposed to. I think this was attributed to the 8 byte overhead on pppoe connections.

    Either way, I'll take it.  :D

    Just finished my 4 hour course.... :|

    lol yeah, my license has been suspended since I was 16, lol it got taken 3 months after I had it :? When I do go to get it back I have to take an 8 hour reinstatement course, pay $1000.00 reinstatement fee, and carry an SR-22 bond. Let's just say I've been in a lot of driving trouble lol. I'm 18 now, (19 next month) and I've had 2 DUI's 3 Driving under suspensions, 2 wreckless op's, 2 Failure to control's, No lights, failure to stop, excessive speed, crossing double yellow line, squealing and pealing, umm, I don't even remember all the rest lol. I was very dumb there for a while, glad I wisened up once I had my first child.

    Yep... Been there... done that. Won't happen again for sure.

    What kind of router do you use and how do you like it?

    The subject says it all...

    As for myself, at home I'm behind a Netgear ProSafe (FVS318). At the office I'm connected to a Cisco Catalyst 4500 series....I think it's the 4507R.

    I love my Netgear, it's awesome. All the features and settings you could imagine... It's super flexible. As far as the work setup, I don't know much about that router because I don't have access to the setup. The ISP does all of that. I'd like to get in there and look around, but oh well....

    How did you learn xp??

    Yep, trial & error turned me into a junkie :haha: Now I build pc's from the ground up and service them for several friends, family, and friends of friends & family. :D

    It started back with the Commodore 64 for me: Old Computers

    That's when my true love for pc's became evident...ahhh, just thinking about the old commands:

    Type: LOAD"*",8,1 or LOAD"$",8

    Press: Return...wait 5-20 minutes for game or program to load & return you to its, flashing, square curser. :haha:

    Type: Run...wait 5 mins to 1 or more hours for the game or program to start up (depending on what you were doing).

    Gotta love technology!

    And I thought I was the only one that remembers them days.... I had an Atari 800XL with the 256k (yes K) upgrade and a "Happy" mod on my 5.25" floppy... Times were so much simpler then... :haha:

    Faster Speed on Re-Test

    in Ideas to make testmy.net better?

    Posted

    Hmm.. well the obvious is that somehow the test is cached on the second... but usually in that event, the test score is something unbelievable (i.e. - a 25 Mbit score on what is known to be a 5 Mbit connection)..... in your case, I think it's more a matter of coincidence...

    I've had the opposite happen... where my 1st score kicks arse, but each one after is just a little slower.... But again I attribute that to "margin of error" if you will...it's not consistantly like that.

    Connection Limitation-er?

    I've pretty much quit using P2P software in the last year or so... I pretty much have everything I need, but if I need to get something new, I get it from scouring the newsgroups. I went ahead and got an unlimited Giganews account so I just cue up a sh!tload of stuff and let 'er rip... then I just d/load it to my house when I need it. Takes a little patience, but it's sufficient.

    Testing on Van's server....

    Well I ran it on my home connection... it basically says I'm getting 93-95% of what my connection is capable of as per UDP testing..... So it looks like I'm pretty much at the top of my game here.... (2.65 Mbps down/ 340 kbs up is what the UDP test said... I got very close to that on one of the servers.)

    And back to the traceroute... I thought it was cool too.... It's always nice to see that the first hop out of my building is to a tier1 provider's backbone.... w00t!!

    Cell Phone Sites PLEASE.

    I just got my v551 about 2 weeks ago.. I love it. I don't know where any free stuff sites are, but I ordered some accessories pretty cheap through http://www.cellphoneshop.net/?ovchn=INK&ovcpn=sitematch&ovcrn=cellphone&ovtac=PIB ....

    Cables were way cheap (like $10 instead of $30 from motorola) and I think I paid $30 for the Bluetooh USB adapter for the computer... still haven't had time to sit down and figure out what all it will do yet..  :haha:

    Beat my 100Mb Full Duplex

    Yeah... I also test higher on other test sites for upload... That being said, I use testmy.net the most for benchmarking my connection. I figure it to be a pretty good representation. When multiple users are connected to my ftp @ work it will supply usually between 6-10 Mbps... depends on time of day, etc... but the lowest I see on a day to day basis is about what testmy.net showes me, so it's somewhere in the ballpark... I'm happy.
