<p>So what bandwidth speed tests is everyone getting?</p>
<p>Most recent test, 30 minutes ago:</p>
<p>86.13 mb/s download
60.48 mb/s upload</p>
<p>though connecting to a server to peak my download:
94.44 mb/s download
53.03 mb/s upload</p>
<p>Obviously these are wired.</p>
<p>12.82Mbps downstream
3.15Mbps upstream</p>
<p>I hate Comcast and I hate wi-fi. At least my wi-fi network isn’t as bad as the one at my school.</p>
<p>44.72 mbps download
20.77 mbps upload</p>
<p>This is on the school’s wireless. I hardly ever plug in the ethernet, so I’m not sure how that would test, but it’s generally faster. My school’s internet kind of rocks.</p>
<p>EDIT: I had just finished downloading something, which puts you on lower priority. Waited five minutes and retested at 69.09/30.78.</p>
<p>For the on campus network at DC’s school:</p>
<p>3.19 mbps download
15.28 mbps upload</p>
<p>…Seriously.</p>
<p>With cable:</p>
<p>7.95 mbps download
6.43 mbps upload</p>
<p>Someone want to try and explain this to me?</p>
<p>gina, I have no idea. There was an article or two in the Diamondback a couple weeks ago talking about how OIT is really sucking at making the wireless network good.</p>
<p>As for the slow speeds even on ethernet, I have no idea. We’re an excellent computer science school, there is absolutely zero god damn reason our internet service should be so laughably terrible.</p>
<p>Yeah, but we’re also the best criminal justice school in the country.</p>
<p>I want to run the test at home this weekend to see the ridiculous difference.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>well regardless, we’re also near Northern Virginia which is a major IT corridor. And of course near a few places like NIH… but ah who’s heard of that… :rolleyes: OIT needs to get on its game and give us GOOD internet access. It’s unacceptable for a good research university to have such ****ty internet service, especially when it excels at computer science and engineering.</p>
<p>I have never tested the speeds for myself at school, but I usually get close to 20 megabits downstream via the WiFi at my school. It’s fast enough for me to watch 1080P on Youtube and complete most game downloads from Steam in less than an hour.</p>
<p>I am stuck with a crappy one megabit DSL line at home.</p>
<p>My school caps the dorm speed at .50 both down and up. I usually have to wait forever to just watch a youtube video -___-. You can pay more for a higher speed I think, but f that</p>
<p>Down: 31.39
Up: 16.79.</p>
<p>Hardwired.</p>
