So I was home for 2.5 weeks back in California, we have high speed internet at home and it's never really been an issue, but I just felt like going on www.speedtest.net for fun while I was home and seeing how it was. I ran like maybe 8 mb/s download and 4 mb/s upload.

Back in school now.

I was pretty excited to see those numbers once again :D

It's like Korea fast lol. So how is everyones internet going where they are? University or not, all comers welcome.

Oh man.... just one more reason to add to want to live on campus (super fast University internet).

BTW, you should fix your link, it should be www.speedtest.net

Here's mine (pathetic NA internets!!!!! Why can't North America have uber fiber optic internet widely available like in Korea and the Nordic countries???)

okie dokie.

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 can upgrade to High Speed Extreme, I think its only 10$ more to upgrade. 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.

No, that's what pings are supposed to be like to close locations. Unfortunately most people are on cable and DSL where the modulation and error coding adds significant latency. Once you get fiber it's hard to go back.

That's the only reason I don't feel worse about North American internet. Australian internet is just terrible. Overpriced... slow... and a fucking CAP on bandwith.

yeah it sucks pretty bad. I don't think we'll ever have unlimited internet, the closes we'll get it the 1 terabyte plans that are coming out soon (probably going to be very expensive...)

Must be a good day.

You know what else sucks? Pity from people in other countries when they think about Australian internet lol I swear people look at our (Australian) plans and have a good hearty laugh.

Yeah, please, for you Australians, save yourself your limited bandwidth, I feel sorry for you guys just thinking about it.

Well, whenever I'm on a new york or DC ventrilo server I usually get 0-4 ping. On some of my speedtest runs its like 2 ping. I live in the middle of the business district of washington DC so I''m fairly certain the server location has to be within like 2-3 miles. So its close to lan speed lol

America is way behind in optimal connections, damn corporations and clueless consumers. I use Optimum Online since thats the only cable available here(Brooklyn, NYC), the other alternative is Verizon Fios(Legit Fiber, not cable)

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!

You're just being throttled.

UCLA's should be fast. Are you using wireless or ethernet plugged in etc. stuff. When I use my wireless its much slower for obvious reasons.

I'll read this when I wake up in the morning and respond

How common is it for universities to block p2p traffic these days? I know that you can get phenomenal speeds, but that's somewhat useless if you can't download VODs over p2p
