Thats some good scores cholla, for dail up.

I find a big difference as well, otherwise I wouldn't be spending the additional money per month that I do. I feel like Captain Kirk pushing Scottie for "more speed!".
 

In theory, no, in practice, yes.
 
People remember bad experiences very well. If I have even one experience of congestion in the period of a month, I am going to remember it and complain about how I need more bandwidth.
 
Rule of thumb, if you are inconvenienced for any reason because of lack of bandwidth, you don't have enough.
 
Just wait until you have several computers on your network that all attempt to download a 1GB Team Fortress patch at the same time, while you're in the middle of <insert something important that is latency sensitive>

Hi Friends,
 
Not new to this forum but no post since more than 2 years. My Question.
 
do you really feel a big difference while surfing with a 8Mbps and 40Mbps, obviosly downloanding and while on torrents its a really big difference, But just surfing?

Hey, glad to see you finally post. Most people that signup don't participate in my forums... it's cool though, people just wanna test their speed.

So, I have an LTE connection that can vary from a couple Mbps to over 50 Mbps. If you look at my stats and filter them right you can see my best on my iPhone on Verizon. When I'm getting 8 Mbps it still surfs great but when I'm able to pull 40+ page response is almost instant, the difference is great.

On my test bench when I develop my speed tests I purposly limit my connection varing levels to check accuracy. I've surfed the web and ran at every imaginable speed... it does make a difference, even for simple browsing.

I think that depends how slow your connection was before. Dial up not hard to see a difference. Go from satellite to something else again big change. So yeah it depends on speed and type of previous service.

So true on the advertised speeds of your provider. Post that and we can help. It also depends on the seeders.'
 
Welcome  to the forum. 

My upload speed should be 2Mbs, but reads 1/2000 of that speed.
Using a SB6121 modem on Time Warner.
Other services show me at  20/2 speed as did TESTMY untill recently.

Hi again Joxxer! Welcome and thank you for your TestMy.net Speed Test in Düsseldorf Germany -- I'm sure that users in Germany will thank you too.
 
I'll change your member group later.  I want to make a special group for people who're hosting a speed test.  Anyone who hosts a test deserves props. 
 
Cheers 

Hi @ all,
 
I'm joxxer from Germany with my 100 Mbit cable. I'm a owner of a router specifed forum in Germany. I wish you all a nice day.  
 
 
Cheers

Hey, I'm looking into switching to DSL if I can, so my speeds right now will likely out perform ten fold what I end up with . I gotta show off lol

It was simply an option when I initially started my computer up. I asked here about it, and decided what the heck, and have had no problems. So figured if it ain't broke, why fix it. 

I don't want to derail this thread, but I noticed you were running WOW64, and i was curious what applications you ran that needed it ?

Even just visiting the site is good enough for me

Welcome Lee!

Your speeds look pretty good for your package. I hope you like TMN and help spread the word. Being a speed freak I hope you take the time to share your knowledge in our forums.

Welcome! We all know you'll LOVE it here

Not sure how much knowledge I'll be able to share. I am just learning about the vista stacks and what does what. If I stumble upon something i'll make sure to share though...lol
