Go to... http://www.speedtest.net/

And connect to Honolulu.

I bet no one can defeat me!

.03mb/s download
.06mb/s upload

**Southern MO - Honolulu ~ 3950mi

Whoa, something ain't right. *does bad math in brain* I've never gotten this thing up to 30kb/s. **More like 3.25 KB/s. This site must have a speed minimum. Yes, I have dial-up. (Hmm, the site's for broadband. Oh well.)

5mb - 24min (sounds about right)= Half of a Bonanza episode
35mb - 168min = 2 hrs 48 min = An epic movie
800mb - 3845min = 2 days 16 hrs = An extended weekend

My result barely measured compared to the ISP average.

If the ISP bar measured 1.5", mine was 1/16".

Oh yeah, this connection sucks!!!

**Tested again to get the picture.

Congrats on possibly having the worst connection ever. Remember that if you set out to fail - you succeed.

London to Honolulu - 7250 miles

D/L = 2.43mb/s
U/L = 0.32mb/s

5mb = 17 secs
35mb = 2 mins
800mb = 44 mins

And this is whilst using Vuze to get the new Futurama episodes as well so it's not a completely accurate speed test.

Not the best but I'm happy with it. And it is a very stable connection, I rarely have any trouble with it.

It is pretty slow to HI, signal must go by boat.

West coast is not bad

And local is even better

That's with my desktop hardwired and two laptops online on the WI-FI playing online games...

My connection is pretty bad, I can usually barely get it to stay connected never mind run at a decent speed. You caught me on a good day today though.
