Just thought I'd share this measurement of my bandwidth...

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

Connection is:: 5918 Kbps about 5.92 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)

Download Speed is:: 722 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net  (Server 1)

Test Time:: 2006/05/16 - 3:17pm

Bottom Line:: 103X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 1.42 sec

Tested from a 2992 kB file and took 4.141 seconds to complete

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 143.04 % faster than the average for host (swbell.net)

Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-BLGHEX5M0

The most interesting thing about this is that the folks at SBC, now ATT&T, swore up and down that I couldn't get more than 1.5 mbps because I was '8100 feet' from the CO...  I KNEW that I was less than 3100 feet from the CO so I had them force the upgrade order on my line.  Looks like I picked up a little boost!

My contracted speeds are 3.0 to 6.0 mpbs down and 384 to 608 kbps up.  Here's a cut from my latest upload test:

I've gotten as fast as 6.31 mbps down and 651 Kbps up. 

I spent some time on the phone with tier II tech support and the guy I was working with throttled my line up to pretty much let it take what it could handle at my distance from the POP.  It's nice to have friends on the inside....

;)
