Now I got this. It's terrible.

I moved less then a year ago and then I had this one.
It's the same ISP and i pay for the same package. (10/10 MiB)

You think THAT'S terrible? How about this? (And this is actually the best my connection has ever been)

EDIT: I also suggest a Pingtest.net result too.

Mine isn't bad, but it's also nothing special. It gets the job done I suppose.

...Damned Americans and your high speeds.

This is the result of one of the better isp's here.

That any good?

Americans may have speed, but not consistency. there's 4 or 5 different types of net services available, yet...including dialup! yes, there are still dialup connections in the US. because they haven't run fibre optic cables out to the wilds of the northwest or Alaska yet.

also, for those people still on dialup, the server may be fifty miles away as the crow flies, but as the electron flies, it's probably going through thousands of miles of wire before it even gets there, then probably has to wait for a voice transmission to cease first.

Majormagna: i'm only slightly higher than you. unlike almost everyone else on here, MY ISP still runs the connection through land lines. I bet everybody else here runs through cable/fiber optics/satellite feed.

edit: why the double post? Chrome was being an ass

Yes, we also run through landlines

Want Fibre-optic! (ODN, YAY!)

damn, some of you have high speeds

ofcourse my dad's doing some pretty intensive network stuff for IBM, in our basement, so that might skew the results

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2010, 08:52:36 PM »

I don't know, but here in Sofia, the current internet Im using, is very slow for servers out of Bulgaria. From Bulgarian servers Im downloading with 8MegaBytes/s and uploading with 2MegaBytes/s and its just for 15lv (around 12-13USD). Around Shumen, where I live, for 20lv, I download with 1.2MegaBytes/s and upload with 70-80KiloBytes/s :uberlol: :uberlol:
I like Sofia
