Click the pyramid that is closest to your location to run the speed test. When the test is done, click the button that says "Copy" next to the "Hyperlink Link" box and paste your reply into this thread.

Was just curious as to what speeds everyong gets in the area.

Here's mine from MetroCast:

Funny that you should mention that...

I've been having some serious issues with getting consistent speed...

The true test of your speed is to check it between 6-11 PM when everyone is home, TV's on, and Internet blazing. The Metrocast guys like to say TV doesn't affect Internet speed, but that's B.S because they all have to flow through the same pipes, and the TV bandwidth takes a big share of that pipe, especially the HD stuff...

My 6 megabit connection is dropping down to barely 1 megabit during that time...

But then this is even more bazaar. This site reports a good connection during problem times?

It's good to run this stuff and hold their feet on the fire if you're getting a crappy connection and only half the speed you're paying for...

I've had Metrocast out more than once and they've often found bad amplifiers etc on the utility poles...

They fix those, and wham, speed is back up...

:popcorn:

I think it might be this new computer. I have to do some tweaking. I will check again in a bit. But yeah, if its not where it should be, I always call them right away. I refuse to pay for something I ain't gettin! :whip: :lmao:

These websites checking your speed have "absolutely nothing" to do with your computer...

You just gotta know what your doin! May not be much but its faster. Now to call Verizon.

Hmmm for some reason my speed is way down!


<a href="http://www.speedtest.net"><img src="http://www.speedtest.net/result/212891220.png"></a>

Your ISP is Verizon. If you have DSL, that's about as much as you can expect down here, unless your contract specifies a faster rate. If you have FIOS, you need to complain.
