Insane upload burst speed

[cyberbeing]

Surewest just updated their speedtest to that Ookla test (flash based test) that Speakeasy also uses. http://speedtest.surewest.net/

Guess I won't need to wait long if I need to upload anything to Surewest.

that would be nice if you really got that upload.  Does it always do that when you run that speed test?

[cyberbeing]

Yeah, I seem to be consistantly getting 80Mbps upload on their new test. On their old java based test I was getting under 70Mbps. Its not just Surewest though, on the ethernic speedtests http://ns1.etheric.net/ I can also usually get a similar speed and some others are a bit high as well. For real world consistant speed over a extended period of time it usually maxes out at just under 30Mbps though. I wish I could get that speed on large downloads but its still kind of fun to see a 80Mbps (10MB/s) upload burst on my home connection.

Danged it that is some burst. But I did not think you could burst you U/L.

How long does it last? Wow.

[coknuck]

Thats just plain outrageous.

Just tested it out on my surewest webspace and it seems like for small files I can hit blazing speeds up to ~100Mbps. As the files get bigger the speed starts to drop.

i can get that ookla speed test to be wrong at 75 mb  for my 30 mb connection so i doubt it is that fast if it is 20/20

[cyberbeing]

Well as I pointed out in the previous post I do get those fast speeds when uploading small files to my webspace. If Surewest is using a small file for the upload test the results are probably correct.

you can't measure speeds near as accurately with small files though..

i would trade you if i could !! lol

[tommie gorman]

Trade me, trade me. Really! I am on a 33kbps U/L. Please.

with small files then its not accurate. i can't get about 800kbps when i upload small files, you need a big file to see your real speed.

Well the upload test finishes instantly (split-second), so unless they are only using a 1MB file for the upload test (which seems unlikely considering the speeds they are offering) it is uploading faster than 20Mbps. Is it really 80Mbps, maybe not, but you can't get any faster than instant.
