And this while the other machine was downloading packages for the Xubuntu 8.04 upgrade, so that number doesn't even represent all my bandwidth.
Interesting facts:
- My connection is marketed (sold) as a 12mbps one. That means it's currently almost doubling what the commercials say. Needless to say, my ISP is not Comcast
- The same connection regularly "fails" speed tests. I once got 20.something Mbps down from one, but most times I get something odd in the 3 - 5Mbps range. The point I'm making is that (depending on your ISP) you may actually have to resort ot P2P to see what your connection can really do. Given the current throttling rage, that's rather ironic
- Also, I hit 563kB/s down on the ISP's newsservers - 9 connections across 5 servers - last week, another personal best
I'm straight, but I LOVE COX


US broadband problem? What US broadband problem?
As usual, Scandinavian users, FiOS users, etc. are welcome to blow me away with 30+Mbps stories, lol
