Barry Aldwell · 17-03-2003 12:56am

:eek: Jesus Slydice, what kind of connection do you have?

Sarky · 17-03-2003 1:02am

Fascinating.

I rank lower than a 28K modem despite using a 56K, and a fast "all hardware" 56K at that. God bless rural Irish copper phone lines...

Wait till I try it on the college network...

Webmonkey · 17-03-2003 1:02am

that site prob locally 2 him hehe

I dont think its possible otherwise unless T3 or something

woolymammoth · 17-03-2003 1:08am

i dunno where the site is... but im on a campus lan in galway.
anyways...

Slydice · 17-03-2003 1:09am

That's from college accomodation internet access. I'm on a 10mb line cos of hardware limits even though the college has a 40mb connection.

TenLeftFingers · 17-03-2003 2:29am

The graph doesn't make ISDN look very attractive.

Woo-hoo for work

BigEejit · 17-03-2003 3:45pm

god bless the connection from work ....
http://members.boards.ie/bigeejit/ibblstr.jpg .. that blue bar goes wayyyyy over to the right ... a tasty 6.3mb/s ... and AFAIK that goes through the states

TenLeftFingers · 17-03-2003 6:49pm

What kind of connection have you BigEejit? That crazy!

Webmonkey · 17-03-2003 7:15pm

Holy mother of god:eek:

Mystic Fibrosis · 17-03-2003 7:59pm

How correct. Less than 28k. Interesting, that ISDN box in the corner looks quite active...

BabyEater · 17-03-2003 9:07pm

I got a nice 50678 which iwas happy about must try it in colllege when it is quiet.

Amz · 17-03-2003 11:18pm

Well that just confirmed that my internet connection is rubbish!
Less than 28.8K modem...

I can no longer live in denial!

Stupid thing says it's slower than 64k ISDN!

How can this be?

Amz · 17-03-2003 11:47pm

We should form a support group...

But it would take far too long for people who need it to find out about it that i guess it wouldnt be worth our while....

BigEejit · 17-03-2003 11:49pm

oops ... instead of "the connection from work" it should have read "the connection AT work" ... the connection at home is a lot less impressive (maybe impressive back in 1935) .. 40kbps :rolleyes:

it's weird because I'm using a 56k.

I'm using single-channel ISDN. So it's OK I suppose.. :rolleyes:

Amz · 18-03-2003 9:33pm

Slow internet connections make baby Jesus cry....

I feel all dejected now....

I knew my connection was rubbish but had no idea it was so bad....

Ignorance is bliss....

The test page loaded in 110.78 seconds, indicating a throughput of 35344bps. or 45,000kps according to my connection icon in the systray...I'm on 56 modem on the end of about 30 feet of cable inside the house (the cable splits from the line inside the front door goes up the wall across the attic, etc! I wonder does that make a difference?)

I'm happy with that

Well, at least until a reasonable broadband offer arrives...

NeVeR · 19-03-2003 7:22pm

Take alook at what i got on a 56k You guys wont beleave it ,,

the only thing is is that i can use a graphics program.

Good eh ?

Saruman · 19-03-2003 8:12pm

On modem at home i get:
The test page loaded in 89.659 seconds, indicating a throughput of 43670bps.

The bar shows about half a mm less than 56K using UTVinternet (free)

However with Netsystem (satelite) using modem for upstream its a lot better!

The test page loaded in 27.239 seconds, indicating a throughput of 143743bps

The bar shows me as being slightly above 128K ISDN. Netsystem gives me 350kbs in fact.

Nothing compared to work.. though still not as fast as the first post!!

Woden · 20-03-2003 11:12pm

page tells me i'm slower then 28k even though i'm connected at 49.2. i find sometimes for some reason i get slower downloads even though i'm connected at a higher rate don't know whats up with that

Thats just crap. 56k modem, and I live real close to the local exchange. Extension cable to the puter is pretty short too.

Damn that rat to hell. :mad:

Mossy Monk · 21-03-2003 2:47am

my connection has gotten worse. i am now at the consistant rate of 14,400 bps :mad: i really hate those bastards at Eircom now :mad:

Mark · 22-03-2003 12:03pm

I opened the link, waited a few seconds, got up,patted my cat idly, went into the kitchen, walked around aimlessly for a bit, got 2 plums (rather juicy they were too), went back into here, stared at loading page, patted cat and yelled at her for giving me cheek, went into another room, turned on Sky News, replied to a text message, emptied two bins and walked back in here several seconds before the page loaded.

God bless Irish Internet

azezil · 22-03-2003 12:07pm

For those of you on 56k getting really bad results, it could be down to a few things, split lines/badly configured modem settings/network settings.

There are ways of tweaking which will improve latency and ways to improve download rate...unless of course your line is split

Search the CS forums, there are countless numbers of threads on the subject.

Also, USB modems tend to give the better download rates in my experience, whereby PCI will give you better latency.

64k ISDN
