That must be a pretty old computer, somewhere around 800MHz or less...

What speeds are written in your contract with the ISP? ISP average does not really mean anything if the ISP offers more than one plan/speed. For example, my speed is probably 10 times the ISP average, but I am using the fastest (and most expensive) plan they provide.

haven't watched the contract, my mom is the payer :P and my computer is actualy 1.70GHz but, I need new, the mother board is from 2004....

Well, I tried running the speed test on my router (Celeron 1GHz) and even with not optimized TCP stack and the CPU intensive test app it still managed to get 20mbps down and 50mbps up, so your 1.7GHz should get more than that. Though when it just acts like a router, it passes more bandwidth because the flash test app uses a lot of CPU.

And no matter who actually pays for the connection, you should know what you should be getting. Also, if your connection is DSL, thecable between you and the ISP may be bad (happened to me once), then your modem won't be able to work at maximum speed.

That's ... painful to watch somebody with such a connection... yet alone have such a connection. If I could I'd donate some of my bandwidth/speed.

The upload is ... dial-up speed :|

These results are probably not very accurate, as I don't turned off the torrent during the test.

Its wireless only internet that I have to log into. Which sucks. And means I can't connect both my macs at the same time or even use my PS3 with it. :/

Edit- The wireless access at uni however-

It's highly unlikely your problem is client side, unless it's a software issue.

In 2001 I was able to get 10MB/s up and down on my old 700Mhz Pentium 3 laptop when transferring files between computers on the school's network.

So here is my speed when I'm at home:



I'm very happy with this speed since half a year ago dsl wasn't available at this location and I had to go with ISDN.  :P
Damn, I had like 30 kb/s down and 8 kb/s up that time.

Like he said it's highly unlikely that it's a client sided problem. Even slow computers can have high internet speeds. Either your router is capped at a lower speed you get or your NIC (network interface controller) is so old it can't handle your speed. But I highly doubt it's one of the latter 2 cases.

Run a less graphical test instead of speedtest.net, the flash might be hurting your slow computer.

University Ethernet. I'm also aware of it being outdated, but too much ::effort:: to test it again.

What the hell, 12 megabytes a second!


Its from a school so most likely he can't use torrents
I can use torrents fine, the downloading bit anyways. And I seed off my dedi, so no trouble at all. But yes, ports are blocked.

Running torrents off that connection would be orgasmic.   

meh..



No Torrents though.

omg I'd love to seed at 9000kb/s  (ITS OVER 9000!)

I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with my new ISP.

I paid for a 10/1 connection, and to my surprise after they installed yesterday...



I've never gotten above advertised speed by such a margin, ever.
