Upload speed
Xiong Chiamiov:
Your ISP probably forgot to cap your upload. I know that people in my area have been getting some of that, as we've been getting some infrastructure upgrades (and Charter's fairly incompetent).
milosbeli:
I wouldn't complain :D i got 10kbs max upload ... :'(
NaRu:
Just upgraded my upload speed
Slysoft:
Also incase some of you guys don't know, when it says mb/s on speedtest.net that's megabits not megabytes. 1 byte = 8 bits so 8 megabits/s is ~ 1 megabyte/s
xShadow:
Your speeds are quite fine. Rather than being unhappy, you should be fine with them. It's a completely effortless way to keep your ratio in check. Just start downloading something and your connection does it for you. If I tried to hook this monster of a line up to some peers anywhere near Atlanta, I'd probably end up with a 0.01 ratio by the time I got done.
Many people would be quite happy to have your connection.
I've never tried torrenting on my college's wired connection (wireless is fine, though; it has capped download speeds), and for good reason:
That's only to Atlanta, though. It's quite a bit lower to other places (sometimes ten times lower, although the upload rises to over 4 times higher in those cases). Obviously this has limited application when actually applies to downloads, too; fastest I've downloaded something was a little over 20MB/s; I think it was some random MMORPG.
