Cabaal · 2009-11-16 08:36:27

I've decided its best to create a single thread to cover speed and ping tests, you can see the old locked threads for speed and ping tests still though.

Just putting this up here. Got my TPLink TL-PA251KIT powerline adaptor. Here are the results I got after using the device with a plug socket about 10mtrs away from the other. Have yet to try it where there dead spot is.

I'm on 60 down and 6 up plugged directly into the router.

In the blank spot:

Now have coverage in the place where I want to stick my new PC. Great product if anyone is interested.

Photo or it never happened. Get us two pics: one from SpeedTest.net and one of the Steam download.

Edit: Your pic wasn't showing up but i just opened it via another window. I realise now why you are getting 22.7Mbps. I had 12 when I was living in Korea.

I know the national telecommunications research centre is headquartered at Trinity so they do tests with UPC from time to time and UPC reach 1.4GB but thats not a college broadband and UPC cannot hit that Upload.

Honestly it is. We're off for three weeks before the exams so I can't do it now. Some of my mates didn't believe it so I gave them a screen cap.
If I remember when I go back for the exams I can post the full info.

I was in a house in Seoul trialing 1gbit each way a few years ago. I was in trinity recently and was disappointed by my speedtests ,) Could be due to it being lunch time and thousands of people online at the same time! But relatively speaking, considering one can around the world get huge bandwidth in homes, the universities are not light years ahead like they used to be.

Yeah. They are only smelling the coffee now for residents in Ireland. But you are right. HeaNET in college is 100/(<100). You'd get 100/100 in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-Do (a country-side Municipal city). When was it that you were on the trial?
