WOW I just got FiOS

what the hell does this mean :f6:

It means you can download 59063 kb/s (7382.875 KB/s) and upload 567 kb/s (70.875 KB/s), or roughly around there.

It also means you go to OSU.

Yeah, but why is my download so high but my upload so low, and what does that affect? I know nothing about this stuff.

Your school probably either caps upload or it's used too heavily (think torrents lool) that you only get that much.

In any case, it probably doesn't affect your browsing, judging from your ping.

First test, computer lab internet:

NSU's library comps:



Wow! What a load! The dorms' speeds are like...a very pathetic fraction of that. I think I'm gonna start using my laptop in the library when I get it back.

What exactly do these numbers mean? Like what would be an adequate speed to compare our own numbers with?

Anyway, this is the one I use in the dorm. Seems inferior to everybody else's

Err, that's up for you to decide, I suppose. For comparison's sake, dial-up is commonly advertised as 56 kilobits per second (even though it never was actually that fast), so a dial-up connection would get under 56 for both.

If you take the numbers on your test and divide it by 8, that's the speed you would typically see when you download or upload something.

For example, 9000 kbps would mean you can download at 1125 KB/s, which is a little over 1 megabyte either being received or sent in a second.

Kilobits and kilobytes - why do they have to confuse people like that >_>

Bits makes it seem like you're getting more?

"HOLY POMEGRANATE I HAVE 9000 KILOBITS PER SECOND!!!!1"
"Oh yeah, my connection gets 1125 kilobytes per second down."

what the hell does this mean :f6:

holy crap korey. I bet you could download songs in like 10 seconds :f6:

I win.

And you people rage... why?
