Re: slow speed

While we're all doing it:


[img]Download Failed (1)[/img] 1.34 Mbps
which is around 172.08 KB/s

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img] Your connection is performing poorly (45% efficiency) for a 3 Mbps service.



However, the other test I use gives:

1st 128K took 468 ms = 280068 Bytes/sec = approx 2330 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 594 ms = 220660 Bytes/sec = approx 1836 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 609 ms = 215225 Bytes/sec = approx 1791 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 672 ms = 195048 Bytes/sec = approx 1623 kbits/sec

There are obviously pitfalls surrounding different speed test sites.
