Dual T3 @ Pacwest telecom. I was bottlenecked by the 100mbit link I had when I did the bandwidth test.

LoL red1 that is insane,what u pay for that 1000$ a month???

It costs alot more than that. Thats about the price of a T1, and a T3 is something like 28 T1s, and there were two T3s at that place. But its not mine, I was at a friend's place of employment. Its a phone company/isp. They happen to host ALL of Netzero's machines there, dialup and all, as well as lots of other things.
 
dl = 1306kbps
upload = 311kbps

Damn red! 2.5MB/s transfer rate? I wish mine was that fast!

Advertised 2.0 Mbit cable connection, but I'm moving to an area dominated by rogers cable :(. Normal inet service for rogers is only 1.5 Mbit. This is cogeco:

i have a friend that worked at an isp a few blocks away. I used to go on downloading sprees online every few days. its amazing how fast you can fill a 20gb harddrive with a DS3 + 4 T1's (51 MegaBits) thats roughly 6.5 megabytes per second both ways now those were the days.....

Oh god, no! I'm spoiled with DSL. I can't go back to dial-up. I had an ex-friend that was on dial-up and it was a pain browsing the Internet....and to top it all off her ISP was AOL!!! :eek:

They really are that bad heh ?
 
Dial-up is actually not that bad. I just don't like all that AOL bloat and I like my quick loading times better. With dial-up, the pictures can take a while, depending on how big they are.
 
681 Kbps down
901 Kbps up

At work and I have no clue what the connection is....yet.

I'll update this when I get home with that connection.



:edit:
My home connection is
2540 Kbps down
246 Kbps up

This is supposedly a 3 Meg connection through Cox@Home
