What are good internet speeds?

[The Kraken]

Just did that Test My Speed and got these results

Download 21mb/sec
Upload 5mb/sec
Ping 15ms

Not sure how to interpret these.

I'm not a gamer. It doesn't take long to download iTunes songs so I'm not too worried, just curious what these numbers mean and if they're good, average or sucky suck

[ChalkyDog]

That ping rate is phenomenal.

You can game like a mofo with that ping rate.

Actually, all those numbers are phenomenal. You can download full porno's in little time.

Great internet speed for gaming all around.

[King Mayan]

I'm surprised you get that in that wasteland called Oklahoma

Thanks for the insight. Only game I've ever played on my computer was Age of Empires and even then, I just did the missions, never did any multiplayer. Now the pornos on the other hand

Fukk you prick. Oklahoma is much less of a wasteland than Los Angeles and that's a fact. Come to OKC Mayan and meet me. I'll take you to Crossfit, a Thunder game and steak house and then we'll fight. My cardio is phenomenal.

[wagerjunkie]

[wagerjunkie]

I get 50 on downloads

no way

[Russian Rocket]

no way

yes way junker...you're comparing dsl speeds to cable...dsl is much slower...getting 50 on download and 10-15 on upload with cable in US is pretty standard nowadays

[opie1988]

Just ran a speed test on mine.

Mind you, we pay for the fastest DSL available in our area.

Opie my grandma who lives in a village in Russia has faster speed

it actually a pretty big problem to have with this expensive homes, that sit on big lots...a friend of mine lives in Atherton,CA in a 10mil house and he was using dial up until 2 years ago, because comcast didn't have any cable circuits built near his property.

We're actually really lucky. A lot of the area where we live still only has dial-up or satellite as an option.

We live in the middle of significant acreage, almost everyone out here does. I have neighbors that live on 900 acre spreads. Not like the local cable company is out running lines around here.

yeah, see my reply to Drinker...I'm familiar with this problem...satellite is not a bad option for you imo

[RubberKettle]

Pretty good overall
real nice ping
Always use VPN n proxy doe

[The Kraken]

Not sure about the VPN or Proxy. Any reason why I need them? Can BBD see me right now?

Thanks for all the input

when I go to speedtest.net my ping is 30ms and I get 48mbps download and 20mbps upload and thats (FiOs) not DSL)

not sure that site is completely accurate. dslreports.com has been around for YEARS and is probably the most accurate of all. take a look at around they are by far most informative site when it comes to this shit. don't judge book by cover just cause it has "dsl" in the domain name...but then again who really gives a fawk lol

I don't know if area makes a difference but I am on Verizon fios and got this

Ping: 13ms
Download: 15.34 mbps
Upload: 5.45 mbps

Reading from responses I think I have a decent speed with Fios...no reason to go back to fukking Comcast aka thieves.

[Kermit]

I have 30/5

[Da Manster!]

I've got Verizon FIOS as well and no complaints from me!....Faster than 96% of the U.S!...
