Your Internet Speed


Yoda

Recommended Posts

We switched over to DSL about 3 months ago, and our speeds have dropped ever since. Where I would have got similar to Yoda through Cable broadband, this is what I get through DSL:

Your Speed is: 1442.7 Kbps 

Our local cable gives a better rate to 'new customers', which they consider to be people that haven't had it in the previous 3 months. Next month, it's back to cable.

edit- I hope you don't mind Meehowski, I resized your picture so it didn't kick the table as bad.

I'm running a fairly stripped down machine, we both are, but we share the connection with the television service from the phone company.

One guy that I took my micro-electronics with a few years ago went to work for a rural school board. One town of about 1500 set up wireless connections between their 2 schools @ 3 blocks apart.

Anyone remotely close received free access as a result.

Haven't there been a lot of mumblings north and south of the border about putting some pretty tough restrictions on wireless hardware manufacturing?

Hey Koop, Do you use the defrag utility in Windows? If you do, you should take a look at this. Much better. Faster too!!

Much obliged....I'll try the 30 day free trial and see how it goes. By the way, the last time I clicked a link of yours it made my disc tray fly open and hit me in the leg. I was way off to the side this time.....

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
