Download speed survey

[TripleH]

Today is my first day with dsl and my max download speed was roughly 63 KB/s downloading linux, i was wondering what everyone else out there are getting

 

[Arkaine23]

dowloads

between 49kb/sec and 289kb/sec on Roadrunner.

 

[Beelzebub]

Pacbell DSL at T1 Download / Quarter upload.

150 KB/sec.. have been known to get 180 KB/sec from certain servers and when nothing else is downloading or uploading. Can upload at about 37 KB/sec.

 

[Oni]

[email protected] cable

On a good day, 300 kbps down. Average of about 230 kbps.
Up is capped @ ~45 kbps.

Fast enough for me!

 

[CreePinG_DeatH]

When my cable service was [email protected], I was getting 750-800KB/s (kiloBYTES). But since ATTBroadband internet SUX, it caps me at 187 KB/s... *******s... And they have the extra bandwidth too.

56K on Frontier, 5-8K/s download, ?K/s upload, 47000K/s bandwidth tested at downloads.com (my g/f and I share this connection on 2 computers)...got it tweaked as high as it will go 56K sux....

 

[fade2black]

APK DSL (768/128) and I get about 0 - 140k depending on the server.

Fade

 

[scooter4n]

AT&T cable: 1470Kb/s down, and 100Kb/s up. Upload is suck...

 

[Warlord2]

2000/370kb with road runner

600/126kb with dsl

 

[Diggrr]

DirecPC one way dish with 56k modem for the upstream.
About 70Kb/s using explorer's downloader, and about 200~230Kb/s using FlashGet/JetCar software.
I really recommend getting the software! It splits the file 5 ways and downloads all 5 at the same time, then puts them back together as they arrive. There's a freeware version with a small ad banner that's fully functional.

 

[CreePinG_DeatH]

Hmmm that kind sounds like Star Downloader. It's freeware with no ads. The only part that sucks is when you get a place that only allows a certain number of connections. It will try and find mirrors and such, but sometimes there's no luck.

 

[geldib]

With BellSouth FastAccess Adsl i get around 150KB/s download... and from the Microsoft site it usually starts out around 700KB/s then goes down to around 300-250KB/sec.... not too sure what my upload is tho...
Advertised Speed 1.5 down and 256 up....

I use something called Getright, which is similar (you can have up to 8 segments from multiple servers, too!)

 

[RnPgrosz]

I get 1.2 Mb/s down and about 125 Kb/s up with comcast cable. Not great but fast enough for me.

I've tried 'em all...GetRight first, then Go!Zilla, then DAP...all on a satellite connection, and NONE of them pulled as much bandwidth as FlashGet! I love that program

 

[Diggrr]

Same here, used GoZilla and GetRight too. Flashget does a great job, and I don't have to train it so much like with GetRight. All those settings are available, but the installer sets the program up right the first time. I also like that it's a plugin for IE, so using FlashGet is automatic, and is also in the right click menu without all the drag and drop pain of GetRight.

DirecPC says I can hit 300+Kb/s, but I've found that to be a dream of some Hughes sales executive. It sucks living in the boonies, but of course I haven't locked my door in 8 years either.
Cable company says their coming "in under 3 years"...like I'm gonna wait.

 

[SrX18]

around 210/kbs down and 360\kbs up on ATT cable. Faster upload than download for home line not good.

 

[MoPMatrix]

OOL
800KB/s down 140KB/s up
yes kilobytes...

 

[surfinguru]

1224/108Kbs on PacHell DSL 1.5/128 service..........

 

[touser]

Just wanted to let you guys know that FlashGet is spyware and is detected by ad-aware as being spyware
