Is this really just Flash sucking on OS X?
Comcast, for those who are curious.

Who's your internet provider?!?!
Is it the 30 MB fios?

It's only a fraction of what I'm supposed to be getting. (If I did the math right ) But I suppose downloading from Apple servers an hour before the Stevenote might have tainted the test.

Probably. That is the usual case with Cable and ADSL/DSL.

FTTH is a bit more reliable for sustained bandwidth.

Your point about the Apple servers being busy is well taken. You might want to try the test again in a few days.

BTW, the reason that I asked for actual DL tests is because the speed tests never seem to be close to actual throughput. For example, my friend's FTTH only barely registered around 2Mbps on the DL speed test yet he could DL the file in 9 seconds. Quite a difference to say the least.

Did sushi's DL test: 4 minutes, 59 seconds

The beta speedtest:

Still slower than Windows ... wonder why?

Especially the post I made earlier today - 5000kbps less!

My upload speed is like 7500+, but i noticed most others are in the 300-600 range. Is it bad that mine is high or what? Im confused.

Here is mine. We use Cox Highspeed Cable Internet.

FiOS baby...

10 MB/s for the same price as the old 5 MB/s plan

High upload speed is good. It means you can post to MR that much faster.

I wonder why is FiOS so much slower than FTTH (Fiber to the Home) here in Japan?

Both are optical correct?

FTTH is basically a Fast Ethernet connection (100Mbps). FiOS is between 5 and 50Mbps.

Anyhow, glad to see the states finally getting with it concerning broadband.

I have no clue. But after hearing that, I wish I lived in Japan.

Lol, very true. Everytime i post its super fast

It feels a lot slower than the test said it was...
Download Speed: 1329 kbps (166.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 354 kbps (44.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
paying $50 per month for Verizon DSL.

I haven't yet made the jump to FTTH.

I currently have a 45Mbps ADSL line.

I can do the DL in 3-4 minutes, sometimes a little faster.

Right now that's good enough for me. But FTTH is very tempting.

SBC Yahoo dsl service. Just upgraded to the Elite plan. Not too bad since they are not finished with my upgrade.

The Mac side of things improved after some settings changes.

No 10mbit, but get's the job done. Just wish I had more upload.
