I have good internet at home which is really nice. Internet at work sucks though, and goes through a filter. I am looking at getting a mobile wifi pod that taps into the 3g network. It gives you 7.2 Mb down and about 5.2 Mb up, so I need to test it out at work to see if it is ok. | ||

You instead have 15mb/s download and around 1mb upload. Then the High Speed Warp is like 70$ extra, and its 25mb/s download 2mb upload... makes me cringe how overpriced the internet providers are so stingy. ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/934456559.png) | ||

Optimum is terrible, they dont seem to acknowledge that their damn lines arent able to support the amount of users in an area. Only solution is getting node split, but that seems to be only a temporary solution. My area is way too saturated with users, I havent gotten my full 15/2 for months. This is all due to the terrible government's plan to provide better service and have dedicated ISPs assign to each borough. At peak hours my latency is abysmal, wish I could swap for Fios sooner. DAMN YOU AMERICA! | ||

Speedtest says I get about 9mb/s, but the best download speed i've ever got is 1.2mb/s, most of the time it's anything from 300-700kb/s. That's a pretty massive disparity no? | ||

It depends entirely on the university. Some universities take a very hands off approach and don't do any policing unless it interferes with the network. Others track bandwidth, some cap speeds, and some block p2p protocols. It varies a ton among universities. | ||

Sometimes certain access points are overloaded and the wireless in that region is slower/impossible to access (happens here at the library a lot) So some of these numbers are probably a bit low, and some others may be a bit higher than average, depending on what time of day and where you were on campus. I know here at Berkeley the slowest speeds are in the libraries (at like 25 Mb/s down and 2 Mb/s up) but the fastest speeds are in individual buildings, particularly at odd times of day. Obviously at night the speeds are fastest. | ||

From my understanding, all these university speed tests are meaningless. If under "ISP:" it says "blablabla university blablabal", it means that your uni network is on its own autonomous system. Which means that it's most likely connected to an internet exchange point and has free, unlimited peering to local ISPs, hence these astronomic speed. If you really want to check your uni's connection (how much they are willing to spend on international transit), connect to a server on another continent (try EU -> NYC or NA -> London, these cities are well connected). Compare Warsaw: ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1384264892.png) NYC: ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1384258578.png) I have better dl to nyc from my home... | ||
