netmasta Posted December 19, 2004 CID Share Posted December 19, 2004 I've done few speed test using MSIE 6.0 Vs. Firefox 1.0. It seems like FF as just a little faster, more so on the upload test.

CA3LE Posted December 19, 2004 CID Share Posted December 19, 2004 Yea we have had many discussions on this... FireFox ROCKS! http://www.testmy.net/forumz/viewtopic.php?p=9075#9075 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted December 23, 2004 CID Share Posted December 23, 2004 yes I made a mention to that fact about a month ago. Not only upload but download speeds are greater also, it must be in the way they wrote their program,code,script what ever it is called, as i recall i do'nt believe anybody replyied to that topic. Anyway it is remarkable on how much faster it is than the unsecure MSIE browser. Security is the reason that I changed to the FF browser in the first place, and that is where I became aware of the marked speed increases. Thanks Fred Merry Christmas to all of you good pepole on our site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJVageli Posted December 23, 2004 CID Share Posted December 23, 2004 Yes on my PC I use Avant,and on my laptop I have FF because it can run it better and because it seems to be more spyware vulnerable lol Avant Browser ..

DJVageli Posted December 23, 2004 CID Share Posted December 23, 2004 Upload stats now FireFox .. Upload Stats .. Connection is 348 Kbps about 0.3 Mbps (tested with 386 KB) Upload Speed is 43 KB/s Tested From http//www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line 6 times faster than 56K you can upload 1MB in 23.81 second(s) Validation Link http//testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=KUL8NFS1N IE .. Upload Stats .. Connection is 323 Kbps about 0.3 Mbps (tested with 386 KB) Upload Speed is 39 KB/s Tested From http//www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line 6 times faster than 56K you can upload 1MB in 26.26 second(s) Validation Link http//testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=3HE8WBPGR Avant Browser .. Upload Stats .. Connection is 339 Kbps about 0.3 Mbps (tested with 386 KB) Upload Speed is 41 KB/s Tested From http//www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line 6 times faster than 56K you can upload 1MB in 24.98 second(s) Validation Link http//testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=CMV5Y03SU So in the end my conclusion is that Firefox does have faster upload results, but for download on "my" computers IE had the fastest download speed test results, eventhough when I download something using Firefox its the fastest,usually starting at 3000KB/s then dropping to a normal 602KB/s. So overall Firefox is the fastest,most secure browser D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
