How fast is your Internet?

[jtwhite]

Lol! We get suspended and they have very comprehensive filters in place. It's IMPOSSIBLE to get a proxy server to load.

Although, I figured out, if you reboot the computer, enter safe mode, then you can login to the admin account, password free .

:dunno:

This is incredibly depressing. I'm sorry.

Where are you, by the way? And is this dial-up?

My connection has major problems at the moment that my isp isn't willing to admit to being caused by them, despite me having ruled out anything at our end several times.

It's normally around 2MB download and half a meg upload.

In theory, I get 1MBps / 384 kbps with Verizon DSL. I'm lucky if I even get that though - the modem constantly syncs at a lower speed (I never had that problem when I first signed with Verizon 5 years ago - under the same wiring configuration as I do today)

NYC was the first market to be offered 3/768 - too bad my neighborhood was never eligible for that ("Wi-Fi mooching" within a 5 block radius confirms that. Nobody has a sync speed higher than 1.5/384 around here).

No FiOS either, even though Verizon keeps the FiOS cable, equipment and trucks in a storage building less than 10 blocks from my house.

When the contract expires, I'm switching to cable. Maybe Time Warner will do a better job.

No that's DSL

Congestion issue or edge router failure I'm betting.

Give me a PM, I'll see if I can help you out with the line re-syncs. I have Verizon DSL at 7.1Mbps and it never resyncs unless I tell it to. Time Warner out in NYC has been known for slow speed issues, however they are in fact moving to DOCSIS 3.0 and adding more channels to the infrastructure so they might have fixed that up already.

My internet speed is 1 bytes/sec.

[vishal]

Mine is 2MPBS

[meintjeh]

Fast:P

[techairlines]

At home my internet speed is 3 mbps/768kbps (Verizon DSL).



At school... is absolutely insane. :D I do all my downloading at school (there aren't really any restrictions). The network is shared by the entire high school so the individual speed of one computer is much lower though still decently fast.

My ISP just upgraded me to 56.6 K dial up account.
Too far from civilization I guess.
