Title: Bandwidth test results needed
Post by: birdman on August 18, 2012, 07:16:46 PM

Hey all, I need some info for a project.  What I need is prime time (anytime between 7 and 10 local time) download speed test results from as many people as possible, with the following info (you can PM me if you want rather than posting)
1. Download speed (use any of the online speed tests) in Mbps
2. Service provider
3. Date/time tested (local time)
4. State
5. Location description (city, suburb, rural)

Can you all help?  Please?

I have 150/50 available to me here.  If I ever start working from home full time, I may upgrade to that.

This is AT&T DSL at ~7pm CDT . . . the version I have is supposed to be good for 1.5 / .384. Location is a suburb just out of Austin, TX.

(https://armedpolitesociety.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.speedtest.net%2Fresult%2F2130882230.png&hash=bfb71f2ae855f6ce5427d837ef0993e5fff95cb4)

Not happy with DSL's rising cost, but the only local alternative is RoadRunner from Time Warner, and the cable company has its own issues.

I have a little better connection at work . . . but the proxy has some nannyware that limits access. This was in Austin around 8 AM.
