September 13, 200421 yr After watching the news on American broadband lines nearly tripling in the last few years i started wondering; how much do you guys pay and how much speed do yo uget according to the test site below? http://www.dslreports.com/stest I know in Japan, some places charge $10 USD for 7megabit lines. I have: outbound test . . . . . 252.03Kb/s inbound test . . . . . 3.13Mb/s My parents pay $57/mo

Probably do it around Christmas as a present to myself My parent's wont because they don't value the power of fast downloads and low pings. I'm in Ontario; server's in Cali but here's my results from my mom's computer; it's on wireless from our network. 2004-09-13 00:41:10 EST: 1157 / 339 Your download speed : 1185528 bps, or 1157 kbps.

September 13, 200421 yr Here's mine, but it's unreliable because I'm outside of the US. What it says there is Yours «200 down «411 up but at http://adslguide.org/ it says Downstream 428 Kbps (53.5 KB/sec) 462 Kbps (inc. overheads) Upstream 427 Kbps (53.4 KB/sec) 461 Kbps (inc. overheads) My down speed is horribly wrong through http://www.broadbandreports.com/ and http://adslguide.org/ is based in the UK. I believe the last one best
September 13, 200421 yr It will always be better pinging from a nearby server. I'm sure most people know that.
September 13, 200421 yr I am 1 hr drive north of northern central U.S. border with Canada. I went to following link to use given steps to improve net speed, which i got... http://www.cable-modem.net/tt/speed_98.html both pcs increased form rough average of around 3500/400 to around 4500/450... the speed test at that site requires dumping file by emptying temp net files, for repeat accurate test results. so i prefer this other link which doesn't require that and can be seen on modem testing both ways for longer period ... http://www.bluemarble.net/technical_support/dsl/speedtest/index.shtml Cable speeds which i have will fluctuate a lot more then dsl based on cable network users. I've noticed when i get lower download numbers the upload numbers are higher, such as ... 5000/300 ... 4500/450 ... 4000/460 ... 3200/500 ... 2500/600 . Question I have which no answer found at net sites for is ... although fastest possible download speed may usually be preferable, would online gaming run better if these could be more balanced ? That is little less down speed for higher up speed ? And does anyone know way to do this ? I have and read the netcode.txt file sent by Shotty, from Half-Life folder I think, about tweaking it's files for best net use, but it's hard to understand.
September 13, 200421 yr Your download speed : 1202583 bps, or 1174 kbps.A 146.7 KB/sec transfer rate.Your upload speed : 353065 bps, or 344 kbps.That is the suckzor.
September 13, 200421 yr If you have a better ping (milliseconds of delay to reach the destination), then the bandwidth test measuring "transfer" or "throughput" will be most likely better.
September 13, 200421 yr Author the faster your uplaod speed the faster your ping is. having 1.5 megabit service or higher has great download speeds from servers but where you need your firing weapon to out race the other guys weapon is upload. the faster it gets to the server the better off you are. the cable companies fix their speeds or 'cap' especialy the upload speeds. they dont want people running servers so they keep them low
September 13, 200421 yr the faster your uplaod speed the faster your ping is. having 1.5 megabit service or higher has great download speeds from servers but where you need your firing weapon to out race the other guys weapon is upload. the faster it gets to the server the better off you are. the cable companies fix their speeds or 'cap' especialy the upload speeds. they dont want people running servers so they keep them low ten four ... understood ... so i guess unless i pay ($30) more /mth for business acct or ($15) more for fast upgrade to super-fast, i'll be capped at around the highest 600 up speed i've seen. Which only happens when down speed is lower then usual. Which still leaves me wondering if there's a way in those registry edits or half life files to cap the down speed which will result in higher up speed ?
September 13, 200421 yr Author you can change your upload speeds i believe with cl_updaterate and cl_upspeedi dont know about the download speeds though, I can't find anything for that. There are windows settigns and router settings (depending on router) so you can designate a set speed at which that computer can go
September 15, 200421 yr They surf controlled the main systems at work, (meaning we can't get to sites like www.dslreports.com). So I went to a different system that leaches off the main FedEx servers etc, 25mbit down, 100mbit up. Yeah, gg.
