Wow! :stare: Was that using an old 9600 baud modem? :thinking:

Nah, he's just using dial-up I think. I modem may be 56k, but you'll never get that. You'll seldom even get your "potential peak".
That is a very fast up, though…if its dial-up…hrm.

That's what I was thinking

I suppose for dial-up it's not bad, I'm just so used to dealing with broadband numbers anymore, that was nearly shocking. :wink:

Yeah that was dial-up, PeoplePC in fact, with an oddly fast upload.
I finally convinced her to upgrade to 6 mbps Cable Modem as I'm staying with her while going to college.
This is NOWHERE near 6mpbs as sdvertised, but I'm sure we'll all agree it beats those last numbers.

Actually it said I was closer to Toronto, and that's what that was, but Chicago gives me the best speeds.

It may not be anywhere close to the advertised 6MB, but that jump from 40 to 4564 has got to feel like you're flying on pure jet fuel compared to the old model T you'd been driving. :wink: :lol:

I still wonder, how much would using a USB Cord instead of the Ethernet Cable really affect speeds? Also any programs that are free (or have easily attained serial/cracked versions) that can effectively clean up registries or otherwise increase speed?
Still seems way low, here's still my current best speeds.

USB goes at 256/512mbps iirc, my ethernet goes at 1 gbps
06 Jul, 2007, Conner wrote in the 72nd comment:
For me, my connection to the cable company is sitting at 10mbps so either would make no real difference as far as internet goes, though internally, I'm running at 100mbps because upgrading to 1gbps really wouldn't be worth the cost for me, we already can transfer anything over our lan fast enough to not matter anyway. :shrug:

Yup, for me at least. Whether I use USB or ethernet, I"m still connecting through a cable modem that can only handle 10mbps which exceeds the 6mbps already anyway. *shrug*

From the look of things, either USB or Ethernet should exceed the bandwidth of most cable connections so it shouldn't matter. Since I wasn't sure of what USB was capable of I did a quick search and came up with this:

USB 2.0 has a raw data rate at 480Mbps, and it is rated 40 times faster than its predecessor interface, USB 1.1, which tops at 12Mbps.
06 Jul, 2007, Fizban wrote in the 77th comment:
Yeah, I'm not going to be exceeding 12 mbps, and this PC has 2.0 so I CERTAINLY won't exceed 480 mbps

Hmm, I got bored and started testing speeds with different browsers and was shocked at the variance between them. Here's 3 tests with each browser.
Netscape:
Firefox:
Opera:

Speedtest.net never has been very accurate with the speeds it reports, i was showing as under 512k connection the other day tried another speed test site and i was at almost 20 meg. So thats probably the reason for the variance over the browsers. Also the Latency is varying perhaps alot of people were testing their speed on that server? Or perhaps your isp was pretty busy at the time you made the tests? Or were you downloading something.. theres several reasons for the variance
