Foolishly I called up Comcast to complain but I had a temporary brain fart and forgot that this computer was connected to my ISDN line (fractional T1). I felt like such an idiot when I was on the phone talking to the rep when I saw where it said, "Verizon" on the net speed thingy.

This is turning into useful thread. Good job OP.
:::EDIT::: I just looked at Luke's above, and it's sure looking like Comcast has a real varience in what you get. Guess I'm not as slow as I just expected since I have that little box on the line.
It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

Testing with the san fransisco thingy:
Using San Jose:
New York:
Yokohama, Japan:
Nuremburg, Ger:
Repeat of SF test:
I think once you get up above 1mb, it starts getting limited by how robust the network is in your region, beyond how your house/neighborhood is wired.
I'm in a crappy old building with ancient wiring. I'm sure the rest of the university gets better results.Last edited by WlknGenius; 10-01-2007, 10:28 AM.

I had DSL a long time ago but I was unhappy with the amount of times it kept going down. I had to call Verizon at least once every couple of days to have the line reprovisioned. I ended up having to take the fractional T1 because of the reliability and consistency of the signal was better. I have had DSL at other times in other locations over the last few years and I have had nothing but bad experiences with it. Once FIOS is available in my area, I am getting that at both the office and at home.
