lol well i have three things going on - clients with SLA's where I owe them money if they go down, clients who just pay (traders, a few small funds), then I have a handful of guys i'm either helping out or being nice to...

 

Paying for 50Mbps at this house, and get this: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2000385878.png



Even worse, the swings are wild. Anywhere from the rare 45 down, to 5.:eek:

 

Will post a pic when I get back to my dorm. I get 75 download and 105 upload.

 

My rig is hosted at a colo and speed is never my concern. The more important factor is reliability which I achieve through redundancy.

looks like i have to settle for #2

ps. maybe #3 just saw the guy above me.

 

I feel so inadequate now.

 

This is the kind of crap that drives me nuts! http://www.speedtest.net/result/2018514071.png

This is my home system, and it swings like the above, goes to 40+ download at times, then usually stays in the 17Mbps range. The sad part is I'm paying for 50.

Any ideas?

And yes, I've had "technicians" here about six times with their ignorant meter saying it's up to speed as they stand there watching something run at about 15-17 saying it's 50 or more. Insane!

 

The half second ping is truly hilarious. (Sorry).

 

Insanity huh?!?!

A little over an hour later, and here's where I am: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2018597376.png
