Hardware & Technical Your internet connection

[Patrick_68000]

The characteristics ? 1)Upload Mbps.--- 2)Download Mbps.--- 3)Distance to Dslam in meters.---4)Ping in milliseconds.---

Are you satisfied with your internet connection ? What are the benefits ? and disadvantages on your line ? Are you optimistic or pessimistic to play ED with your internet connection ? Other comments about your connection ?
As indicated from below by Mobius, you can do a test on the site http://www.speedtest.net/
----------------------
Far from the optical fiber, but I'm happy with the speed of my ADSL line. At 336 meters from the dslam in my village.
2 to 3 times a day, I undergone disconnections. I am confident enough to play online on ED. Perhaps, one day there will Vdsl in my village ? My adsl internet connection :

 

[Gaz]

BT Infinty FTTC
Download - 50-55 Mbps
Upload - 13-15 Mbps
Ping - 20-30ms
Distance to Dslam - unknown at time writing, would need to check

I'm quite happy with my connection and its been ok for a year since I went onto FTTC so I see no issue with running E: D over it as I host XSGamers TeamSpeak server on my micro-server and have no problems there as there's plenty of bandwidth.

 

[Mobius]

very happy with mine, im so close the exchange that im capped at 75mb down, also unlimited

 

[psykokow]

Ahm no playing this game!!!! Stuff your creeeping broadband!!!

 

[Dr Wookie]

6 ms ping, average 60 MB/s (peaked >100 MB/s) download, upload 11 MB/s. However, my wireless is well dodgy!

 

[Styggron]

I won't post my speeds because you would all laugh. My connection is quite poor and extremely slow....not in MB but in KB !!

 

[Bruce Turnbull]

oh poor you, capped to 75mb/s how DO you manage........... sigh

 

[Geraldine]

Well
Mine is pretty rubbish

 

[Sir.Tj]

Well

Better than mine, (just) waiting for the Fibre to be installed, wasw due last year and still waiting. oh they joys of living in a village

 

[DobrijZmej]

I'm using 3G modem, but in evening speed of internet like GPRS

 

[Slawkenbergius]

Mine's still not very good, and no sign of FTTC coming my way.

Too true, you fellow Norfolkian..... Fibre, I wish

 

[DigitalDuck]

This is about as fast as it gets.

And for some reason they're just ignoring the whole of the East Midlands when it comes to fibre optics.

 

[Geraldine]

Fibre Optics!?! The only Fibre Optics around here are those hairy lamp things from the 1970s And DobrijZmej. You get a faster speed linking to a London server? If I am reading that right. :S

 

[withnail]

And I thought mine was bad! Looking at the rest of you gives me some reason for cheer

 

[Caribou]

Too true, you fellow Norfolkian..... Fibre, I wish

Come to Cambridgeshire peterborough can fulfil your fibre needs....

it is GPRS, is no guarantee of speed - fast now, after two minutes there is no connection at all, after 10 minutes the medium, and so all day and all night

 

[Geraldine]

Thats maddening DobrijZmej. My connection drops out quite a bit too, sometimes in the middle of posting. Drives me mad it does. Perhaps one day we can all enjoy a net connection like the one Mobius or Gaz has. Mind you, speaking from Sunny Scotland, I wont hold my breath.

 

[Cody]

I'm on a cheap budget connection via copper... but it's rock-steady.

 

[DobrijZmej]

Geraldine, Yes, I hope one day I will have a good internet speed =)
I really hope that this will be before the autumn leaves begin to turn yellow =)
