So I went on speedtest.net on the school's computer.

You guys ready to see the epic speed of my school's conncetion?

Are you sure you can handle it?

Aw man, maybe it's just the fact you're all in America, but your download speeds are just ridiculously large compared to mine. At the moment (using Speedtest.net), I'm getting abouts:


And that's not mentioning the ridiculous throttle speeds if you over-download. Let's just say I struggle to get more than 10 kb/s download when I've been throttled.
Stupid Virgin Media...

HOLY CARP.

That's like... a Wii game in 10 minutes, when it takes me around 10 hrs. at home.

I find it amusing that half the countries in the top 10 are eastern european.

We're gonna upgrade soon to 20megs fibreoptic from NTL. My dad said it should be working around monday.

That site is buggy as hell though. Did any of you ever reach a number close to that when downloading a normal file?

In Japan I had a very crappy connection because I was in a territory without good internet coverage. On top of that they hardly have any competition in Japan so internet aint that great. However speedtest.net displayed ridiculous speeds.

Alright, here's one from me.



Japan, is great for their speeds.

There's lots of competition for service, not so much for backbone, you only have 2 -4 options, but then the providers... so many!

I've not quite reached those speeds when downloading, but near them with newsgroups. I can't find these speeds DL from the web or Torrents... but who needs em when you've got newsgroups *^_^* (of course for legal purposes for DL Linux distros and such...)

My experience was a little bit worse but then again I didn't live in Tokio..

Anyone who's got BT here?

Apparently, this is the maximum speed that I can get from home. The max of the ISP is 8Mb...

I'll try the one in my college on Monday.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
