Do me a favor please, Tork. ‘splain to me what those upload and download numbers mean and give me that website again.

Thanks

[tubebender]

That's dslreports.com There is another and I think it is speedtest.com but not sure

[tubebender]

Read it and Weep Rocc...

[Pete-R-Bilt]

I think you mean this one...

http://speedtest.xmission.com/

Tanks Pete! Wild weather coming down the pike for tomorrow through the weekend. Octane 87 is as high as $3.80 a gal in Eureka...

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Ya, I’m stuck in Freesnow till in the morning.

was hoping to be gone before the snow washed all the K Y off everyone in the city.

heard it’s sposed to snow down to the ocean

stupid rodent! early spring my A...phones ringing...

put some good reading on facebook and am talking to the better half my backhaul canceled monday so she worked hard to get some frieght on the wagon today...

[Roccus]

Using the site Pete gave me, in 32 bit mode I get 6.55 download and .26 upload. Is this good or not?

In 64 bit mode, I can’t use the site. It keeps jumping to a Java install, even after I installed the Java 64 bit.

I got 8.43mbs down and .48 up on the x Mission test. It’s not that great but it is what Suddenstink gives me.

[AGreatPer]

I am so confused over last week, would someone give me a winner this week?
Heck, I'll take 3rd.

Right now I am going with a hunch, Martin.

What is fun here, my guess is as good as yours.

[glock rocks]

13.2 down and 9.6 up with xmission.

On my iPhone.

[Roccus]

Still have no idea what this is all about. No matter how many times I’ve asked what this means, I’ve NEVER gotten an answer. But that’s OK. Sorry I bothered any of you with this.

[tubebender]

My worst fears are confirmed...

[Pete-R-Bilt]

you’re doomed.

I was going with Martin also.

he does (or did) hold the track Q record...

[Pete-R-Bilt]

mostly in truck driver terms (may or may not be true...)

your computer can get info from the internet pretty fast, the natl avg speed in the US is 4 meg most of my stuff runs about 2.5 to 3.5

the speed your puter can upload to the web is slower

with qwest i was at about .5 meg with clear wire I’m at about 2,25
this laptop with T mobile on a 4g system I’m at 3.5 down 2.5 up

its the difference between pages painting and BAM the page is there....

I think...

[Pete-R-Bilt]

btw Grok is cheating us all

he’s on fiber optics so his signals like sliding on a glass banister...

darn engineers anyway

[tubebender]

Let me make a fool of myself trying to expain those numbers for you Rocc. They are a measurement of the speed that your ISP is able to transmit data to and your computer is able to process. The first number is your download speed and the second is the upload speed when send email etc. You and I do pretty well considering we are stuck with Suddenlink cable but some folks are stealing a connection from a University somewhere in Utah and he gets speeds of 54.783mbps down and 18.967mbps sending me spam. He also has the advantage of young savvy teenagers living in the neighborhood to help him with the latest technical gadgets.

Rest assured that within seconds of this post there will many many knowledgeable FReepers that will explain it correctly for both of us. I predict it will snow on PIR this weekend and the track will freeze over as we could have snow down to sea level here in the Redwoods

[Pete-R-Bilt]

but at least you’ll have a birds i view of the ice caps mending

how cool is that.

it’s still like 147 degrees in salt lake

[Roccus]

Thank you.

[glock rocks]

The laptop was 48mbps down and 56 up when Pete and I ran against xmission during the race last weekend. I don’t know why the iPhone is so slow.

Turning dark, windy and cold here in Salt Lake. Gonna snow.

Glock says... The laptop was 48mbps down and 56 up when Pete and I ran against xmission I have the rope if you have the tree Rocc...
