Title: My new internet speed
Post by: Adriweb on September 14, 2012, 10:52:54 am
I just installed my new modem etc. with my new ISP ("Numericable") for the appartment, and here is the speed test :D

(http://www.speedtest.net/result/2179128604.png)

I'm happy x)

It looks France is well served for the price (25€/month), which also includes unlimited phone and 20 TV channels.

What do you have ?

Adriweb, it's OVER 90.00!!1!1

anyway, here's mine:

I seem to have a pretty decent upload time, but my download time is not that good :P

We went last month to a new provider we went from 9/0.8 to this:

(http://www.speedtest.net/result/2179750330.png) (http://www.speedtest.net)

But speedtest.net only gives you the speed to that server you test and does not really gives you your internet speed.

It must be fast at both sides of the line to get a good result.

And this (http://www.speedtest.net/result/2194460750.png) is with a good signal 0.o

Please kill me >.> I mean, what? They only advertise 5 Mb/s and I got nearly 6? o.o

We'll switch to 50 Mb/s as soon as my mom will bother paying the phone bill, they recently installed fiber in my area so we get 10x the speed for nearly the same price. Well, for a long time, 5-7 Mb/s was the only affordable plan in my area so we always sticked with that speed at home since we got high speed internet at the beginning of the 2000s.

Darn Adriweb that's pretty fast for the price. Over here for 30 Mb/s download and 2 Mb/s upload I pay around $65 or something per month, and my bandwidth is capped at 120 GB.

(http://www.speedtest.net/result/2180386138.png) (http://www.speedtest.net)

In October our upload speed is supposed to increase to 3 Mb/s and bandwidth to 130 GB, though (price is supposed to remain the same).

Also my ping got much better than a few years ago, when it usually ranged between 800 and 8000 ms

Also i remember when I just had high speed (7 Mb/s with 30 GB bandwidth), once they were doing maintenance and about to shut down the entire neightboorhood connection for a day to upgrade it, and before it, for several hours my download speed went around 130 Mb/s, which let me download a 360 MB torrent file in 22 seconds. The speed could have been higher, though, since your speed looks often slower if you're downloading from a slow torrent or server, but the torrent had 3600 seeders so maybe that was the actual speed. That was most likely a bug in their speed throttling systems or they accidentally removed my limit for a short span of time.

That sucks. Over here in Canada ISPs are capped due to anti-piracy laws. Any ISP that had unlimited bandwidth plans had to get rid of them in September 2007. However I heard that in USA, a lot of ISPs had unlimited bandwidth and you only had problems if, for example, you used like 900 GB in a single month or 60 GB within a few days.

That said it's nothing compared to my previous plan's bandwidth limit. It was 1 GB download and 1 GB upload. Now that plan in question has 4 GB. Basically what I use most days now.

Over here, 4.5 MB/s is $70 a month and I think 18 MB is $130.

O.O ZOMG that's freakin' expensive.
Yeah. The issue is that Canada population is so much lower than USA that there are fewer ISPs due to lower marketing opportunities, thus, much less competition, so ISPs can jack price up as much as they want. The same happens with cellphones and is why it took so long before the 3G version of PSVita comes out here, although now it's not as bad as a few years ago when the cheapest mobile plan was $50 a month excluding extra fees.

In USA, if a company had such prices, it would go bankrupt fast, but in Canada, as a customer we don't have much of a choice. Of course, governments could simply impose caps on internet fees (depending of the service) or other things like gas prices so that they must match their USA counterparts, but then those companies would just drop out of the Canadian market.

You can get faster speeds than that using dial up. Here in the netherlands there is an isp that offers this service for free :D You need a telephone subscription though (Does not matter if it's theirs. They don't discriminate. They're just being awesome)

Yup I know. It's sad. I can't wait to move out.

The reason why this is, is because my dad is a software engineer, and requires a constant linkup to the company. 24/7 connection.

The only thing anyone will provide us with is the shitty less than dial up stuff.

The issue with dial up, though, is that when you are online, nobody is able to call you at home because the phone remains occupied. This can be rather irritating for friends who want to hang out with you or if someone has an important call to do to you (unless you have a cellphone of course).

My internet upload speed and bandwidth cap improves almost every year, but the price increases by $1 every 2-3 year too.

Blue Box (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_box)
Quote from: Wikipedia
A blue box is an electronic device that generates the same tones employed by a telephone operator's dialing console to switch long-distance calls.

Download speed depends on the server not the client though. So the possibility of rather rapid downloads, but most likely it would be just as slow as normal.
