my school connection

Download Speed: 227 kbps (28.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 2211 kbps (276.4 KB/sec transfer rate)

so ive found out that my school's connection varies depending on how many people are using it....it ranges from the low hundreds to low thousands.

Why do offices get such fast internet connections? It just enables employees to download pr0n faster.

not sure how this is?

Is this ok?

 

[SkyBell]

Yes. ^^

at least compared to my $100 a month connection...

On Wireless...eep

Update: So i did what sushi and sycho said and here are the results. System 9.2.1 took 33 secs or less, i wasn't quick enough to take a screenshot on the actual begin of DL to get an accurate time. Did this during peak time using my own laptop over wi-fi (last one was at night using the in house computers (gigabit ethernet)), hence the probable reason for the reduction but this is still no slouch.

HOLY ****

Is that a 175 MB download speed?!

Things are changing pretty fast.

Here in Ireland (which is far behind the broadband adoption curve), several providers are offering 8Mbps+ home connections. There are several wireless options coming onstream here too with fast upload speeds - I've a 4Mbps up/4Mbps down connection which isn't too expensive.

not bad

Testing my iBook.

A bit disappointed, it's about as fast as my Mini on wireless with a 1 MB/ps connection.

Problem is, this is my iBook not on wirless with a 1.5 MB/ps connection.
