Hello, New to this site,

[roadrunner05]

I don't know much about computers, My specialty is in bikes/cars. A friend suggested this site. From what I have seen so far I think its a great place to gain knowlege from. I tested my comp. speed and the results are::::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 665 Kbps about 0.7 Mbps (tested with 579 kB)

Download Speed is:: 81 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net (server2)

Test Time:: Sun Jan 22 22:18:21 EST 2006

Bottom Line:: 12X faster than 56K 1MB download in 12.64 sec

Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 26 % of your hosts average (dsli.com)

Validation Link::            The upload stats are::::.. Upload Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 112 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 97 kB)

Upload Speed is:: 14 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net (server2)

Test Time:: Sun Jan 22 22:22:32 EST 2006

Bottom Line:: 2X faster than 56K 1MB upload in 73.14 sec

Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 75 % faster than the average for host (dsli.com)

Validation Link  My question-Is this good? Can it be improved? My service provider is in my monthly maint. for my home. So I dont know exactly who it is-just that it is cable.

Welcome to The Forum roadrunner05 

i cant help if you dont know what speeds you are suppose to have. and from what i see (may be wrong), you have dsl not cable.

just find out what plan you have

Pitbull481 thanks, unfortunately I have a homeowners association, my hook up is included in the maint. All I had to do was buy a cable modem and hook up. Thats why I don't know what i have. I can say that its much faster then "dial-up" LOL.
