Once again, I gotta agree with you EC. How the heck are you guy's getting these tremendous line speeds with home internet services? I didn't think ADSL or cable went past 1.5mbps? Are these T1/T3 speeds you guy's are posting? Perhaps SDSL? Perhaps FDDI? What's really going on here? I gots to know!!

Your raw speed was 1210000 bits per second.
There are 3 meaningful ways we can interpret this number:
Communications
1.2 megabits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet
Storage
147.7 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.
1MB file download
6.9 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.
DSL Internet speeds in Eastern US
compared to all connection types worldwide yours is fantastic
Well this is what I got, and its pretty close to what bellsouth claims for thier ADSL.

Yeah Webby, 1.5 is about as high as you can go, without going to frame relay.
Cost on a 1.5 account, is around $200AU per month ($100US), and there are heavy, heavy limits on the data downloads.
Like Ive said before, you people would just friggin DIE down here.

Before @Home was shut down, I had a cap of 6, now my cap is down to 1.5Mb to at home. Also, I was getting browser download speeds over 600k/sec

Didn't cost me one thin dime! All I did was say that because my house is more than 100ft from the node that I would suffer substantial noise interference and too much of a DB drop to pull in the upper range channels on my digital cable. The guy they sent out realized that he was just a mere pawn in my game. I then used my Jedi like powers to tell him "Put in Cat 11 not that crappy cat 6 stuff" and he obeyed.
Actually.....I just complained to Time Warner and they sent someone out to replace it.
Hard to see in the pic but its just under the diameter of a dime! You can see a "standard" cable in the upper right. Big difference.

Wow! That's pretty cool. I wonder if they do anything like that for DSL. I get drop offs all the time. And I've been calling over and over again to Earthlink trying to get them to send out someone to take a look at the line, but so far no luck. They say I need to call the phone company and have them take care of it (cough cough, bull****, cough cough). Earthlink sucks *** for customer service.

This is true....Earthlink isn't providing the connection, just the signal that uses the connection. If you have 4 companies that offer DSL to your house and have say Qwest for your phone service, Qwest is providing the connection infrastructure regardless of which of the 4 ISP's you choose. If you suspect the line itself, you need to talk to your phone company.

The first time I ran it the numbers were half this speed. The second time I ran it they were twice as fast as the firs time. The numbers above are from the 6th time. Times 3-6 were all roughly the same.
I think these results and the way they change are due to caching servers.
