Download Stats ..::: Download Connection is:: 9586 Kbps about 9.59 Mbps (tested with 20972 kB) Download Speed is:: 1170 kB/s Tested From:: http://s1.testmy.net Test Time:: 2006/07/17 - 7:45am Bottom Line:: 167X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 0.88 sec Tested from a 20972 kB file and took 17.922 seconds to complete Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 81.86 % faster than the average for host (comcast.net) D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-F1HG64JVN User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4 [!]<br><br>Not quite as awe inspiring, but still impressive to me. I've heard nothing about this "boost" thing. Is this a new promotion? Permanent or just a test???<br><br>Thanks again for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STV0726 Posted July 17, 2006 CID Share Posted July 17, 2006 I'm not sure what does it (minimum people with internet) I don't know, but in my house our average is 8-10, but my connection has some advantage, and it can go up to 14 MPBS !!! Benefits me when I host game servers xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
