Yours is half the distance as my test and you probally pay more for yours. I pay for the 10Mbs which is only $39.99 here in Alabama and works super fast for me. I couldn't imagine having the speeds you have though. I really can't imagine it being any faster then mine because my shit is fast as well. I can click on a "Movie" and it plays instantly. Don't know why you would need it any faster. Just curious to why the upload speeds are so much slower though ?

the internet is $42.99 for 15 Mbps download and uploads up to 3 Mbps which is what i have and i dont know why i have 20+ speeds since i started checking my speeds 2 years ago (gears of war purposes lol) but upload speed are always less than download speeds for just about everyone's connection... idk why that is and here is a new test to a server 100 mi away

Its even faster from a server further away ? Guess that has to do with the time of day or something ?

Busta, you must not live very far from Adams and Arthur. They live in/near Lowell.

yea i think time of day has a factor in it, depending on how many people in the area are using the internet? (feeding off the main line?) but yea i live in New Bedford, in southeastern MA and same with joker

Because those are the ADVERTISED speeds, UP TO___ . NOT GUARANTEED!

Ok, was bored, saw the banner for the SPeakeasy speed test at the top of the forums and hit it. Closest server to me was Chicago. Download speed was 22 MB. I was like WTF!?!?! Thought it was an error. So I went to Speedtest.net and clicked on my closest server and got 10 MB. Slower than it should be.
So I thought what the hell, hit the Chicago server on it, and got 28 MB! What's the deal? Can anyone explain to me how a server 8 times farther away gets 3 times faster results??? BTW, the uploads were the same for all three at 750 kb.

not sure about that... but mine was only a little lower further away from me,
New York server: Download Speed: 12678 kbps (1584.8 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 7838 kbps (979.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Seattle server: Download Speed: 12592 kbps (1574 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 3506 kbps (438.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

A lot of times it depends on the route your packets take to get to the server you are connecting to. If you connect to a server that is on the other side of a congested pipe you will get slower speeds. But if you select another server that is on not on the same pipe then your packets will take a different rout to get to it, and if it's not congested you will get a faster response. There is a map of all the pipes in the us and what their current traffic congestion is. I forgot the site but i used to look at it a lot to see how the internet traffic was moving. www.caida.org/tools/visualization/mapnet/Backbones/www.nthelp.com/maps.htmThe second one is better to look at. It shows the points where your traffic will go before jumping off to a local network(ISP) then to your computer. SO the traffic pattern is: Computer>ISP>internet backbone>ISP>server It is a little more granular than that but it is the easiest way to put it. Some isps have their own backbone which connects to the USA one. There may be latency on the local backbone even before you get to the usa backbone.. One term i leerned is " your as fast as your slowest link". The bullet points on the map are the hub points, they connect 2 or more backbones and also split from there to local regional ones. it's all about the route.
