RevJim 0 #1 November 29, 2002 Pretty cool site here too. http://promos.mcafee.com/speedometer/test_3000.asp Tests your internet connection speed. I ran it a few times. Now I pay for a basic level (300k) cable modem, so i wasn't expecting blazing speed, but the first time I tried this, I got 26.94 Mbps (3.367 MBps). I thought "Holy SHIT!" Then Irealized it must have been aserious fluke in the system. There is no way the cable company would let me sustain these speeds for the price I pay, so I tried it a few more times. Here's what I got: #2: 86.806 Mbps (10.851 MBps) #3: 106.534 Mbps (13.317 MBps) #4: 106.534 Mbps (13.317 MBps) OK, I give up. Someone else want to try this, and let me know if they get absurdly high numbers? I know my connection always seemed fast....File transfers are snappy....Morpheus is usually limited by the "other" users bandwidth, but this is just not possible, is it? p.s. Even though it says the files are not cached on your system, I flushed it before the last test, and it still pegged the meter.....3 megs in lesst than 30 seconds.It's your life, live it!

PhreeZone 15 #4 November 29, 2002 Umm... uncapped bandwidth? I would'nt complain. That or its casched on your local neighborhood node so thats all the further its actually going to get the file.

RevJim 0 #5 November 29, 2002 Not complaining, not at all. I used the test you supplied, and the links on the bottom of tha page for more, and got varying results, from 385k in the bahamas to 1.2M in Texas to 1.8M in Ohio, and the shocker, lol, 225k to California. I'll just keep my mouth shut for now. When it really slows down, I'll call the cable company and complain....It's your life, live it!

AndyMan 7 #7 November 29, 2002 Those numbers are faster then I'm getting on my servers in datacenters with oc-13 connectivity, which is showing 2.19 Mbps (280.3KBps) I can only presume that they're testing against some kind of proxy on your providers network. Do you have any proxy's defined in your IE settings? Do you know if your provider does an 'invisible' proxy? _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

RevJim 0 #9 November 29, 2002 No proxies defined, and no other proxies that I am aware of, Andy. I'm on a very small node here, and it's less than ten miles from this node to the datacenter which connects to a major backbone. All this in the land of cheese.. p.s.

Just so you understand what you're saying... your cable modem is giving 10 times faster connection then my datacenter. While I guess that it's possible, if it is the case then I'm paying WAY too much for my datacenter. ;) BTW - distance to datacenter is irrelevant with cable modems, it only plays a significant role with DSL lines. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

RevJim 0 #11 November 29, 2002 True, somewhat. Cable modems are more dependant on user per node than distance. Distance does play a factor though. I'm on a small node, which helps. I'm actually disputing the initial test. That's why I posted it, for others to get false readings too(hopefully). The other tests, though, are giving me varying readings, which is what i expected. Still much higher than i am paying for, but less than a T3... It's your life, live it!

PhreeZone 15 #24 November 30, 2002 Alter the binary files on the modem... and in the process violate the EUA that you signed and gretly increase the risk of being tossed off the system whn you start pulling fiber speeds 24/7 and terminating entire segments of their network.
