With Internet Explorer:

So much for that ad that says to try Google Chrome for a faster experience! :laughing:

What ISP do you have?

David,

Do you have to pay extra for that internet speed.

I am using Google Chrome and Comcast

 

[phiferpharm]

Yeah, mine's blazing too:
Download = 0.10
Upload = 0.04

That ain't no misprint and I spend 3 hours yesterday, 2 hours this morning, and 3 hours last Thursday trying to get this fixed.. Gotta love wILDbLUE...

You might want to try TCPIP.

TCP/IP: Traditional Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol
Slashdot : Carrier Pigeons Bandwidth Quantified
驗* well documented test took place in the north of ******, in presence of several dozen Internet geeks and experts. During the test, 3 homing pigeons carried 4 GB (gigabytes) for 100 km distance, achieving, what apparently looks as pigeons world record in data transfer to a given distance. Bandwidth achieved by the pigeons was 2.27 Mbps?ransferring a similar volume of information through a common uplink of ADSL line would have taken no less than 96 hours?
Original technical specs are here and here.

Pigeon flies past broadband in data speed race

Broadband is the most modern of communication means, while carrier pigeons date back to Roman times.
But on Thursday, a race between the two highlighted the low speeds of rural broadband in the UK; the pigeon won.
Ten USB key-laden pigeons were released from a Yorkshire farm at the same time a five-minute video upload was begun.
An hour and a quarter later, the pigeons had reached their destination in Skegness 120km away, while only 24% of a 300MB file had uploaded.

BBC News - Pigeon flies past broadband in data speed race

I'm sure recent advances in microSD card capacity could increase the bandwidth 10 fold.

There are inherent problems though. It's been shown to be incompatible with CAT 5, heck even 1 cat is a problem.
Downloads sometimes are messy.

OMG.. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.:laughing:

 

[phiferpharm]

Heck you guys, I'm thinking the pigeon may be a good alternative at this point. I finally got a living/breathing (or so I assume) human being on the phone and have them installing a new dish that is supposed to run much faster (Exede). Only bad thing is the data plan appears to be either more money or smaller. I can set up my transfers between midnight and 5 am and that won't count though.

David,

Do you have to pay extra for that internet speed.

What ISP do you have?

Hee hee, I was waiting for someone to notice that. I posted from my job. My employer has to have large bandwidth for data transfers.

My home is only 12 down and 1.5 up. Very similar to most normal folks.
I will say that I was using 750K DSL for several years at home from AT&T. My DSL modem died a few months ago and I called to have it replaced. They talked me into going with 12M service for the same price as I was paying for DSL for 12 months, then it doubles. Free equipment and no contract. So I got the 12M and signed up for Netflix. I watch that through our Wii system. Full HD movies that never burp. Very nice. Next, I'm going to dump DirecTV and switch to Dish Network. I'll get pretty much the same package for half the price for 12 months on that. After 2 years, I'll switch back to DirecTV or go with cable. It sucks that I am a loyal DirecTV customer for 15 years and get no price breaks. I called them and told them I would like a break or I would probably drop their service. They said they could knock off $15.00 per month. I almost took that deal, until they said I'd lose 27 channels, a few of which I actually watch. Grrrr.... but that's a topic for another thread, I suppose.

Here's another one from a few minutes ago.

I am guessing that cost a few extra pennies.

About how many businesses would you say use speeds like that.

I had never seen internet speeds that fast.

Comcast Business - Internet Service

Wow, and this is for personnel use for $51

The Escapist : News : Sony Launches World's Fastest Personal Internet in Japan

I have no idea what it costs my employer for that bandwidth, but I do know that we were offered even faster bandwidth, but did not need it.

As for what kinds of companies use that kind of bandwidth.... pretty much every multi-media, TV, radio, datahosting, tellecommunications, etc... use that and more. Remember, everything is going through that pipe now. HD video, huge data transfers, phone 'lines' (voice over IP), pretty much everything is internet based now in business.

 

[Midniteoyl]

Isnt it funny? I'm soo close, yet just got 4g this month and DSL 2 years ago, much less anything actually 'fast'.

 

[newbury]

There's a movement afoot to bring competition into ISP's. Most areas here are monopolies and there is evidence of collusion.
In the UK

Broadband service comparable to what we get here in the U.S. is available for less than $6 a month. And no, there isn't a zero missing there. Six bucks a month.

Why is European broadband faster and cheaper? Blame the government

With local governments granting limited licenses there is not sufficient competition. That's why almost all plans are about $100/month for starters.

My blasted cell phone was costing about $30/month after all the diddly little charges were added up. I went to an inexpensive phone and buy $30 worth of airtime and now average $10/month.

 

[WilliamBos]

I noticed that my ping is insanely high, and my download is low?! Usually download is over 5.

Probably afternoon traffic from businesses. Speakeasy Speed Test lets you test to different locations. From here (East coast), the West coast is really slow in the afternoon.

 

[Soundguy]

Using Speed Test I am getting these numbers here in Jacksonville, Fl.

Ping = 23
Download = 55.72 Mbps
Upload = 10.79 Mbps

What is everyone else getting

p = 49
d = 25.55
u = 7.55

embark is listed as the provider via speedtest

 

[mostly_gas]

Download Speed: 18.9 Mbps (2.36 MB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 4.1 Mbps (0.51 MB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 45 ms

This is on my laptop, download is half of what my desktop shows

Try testing both with TestMy.net Broadband Internet Speed Test , and see if there is still a difference.
