What's your Internet speed?

You moved to another place so that you can get even more speed!!!
* Did you try to rent a penthouse on top of the Empire State Building?
...Or on top of the Space Needle in Seattle?
P.S. Cool picture just above Lee.
Oh I REALLY hate you now! Come to think of it though, when it comes to stealing, the POLE is more tempting.
You are so right. I have Cablevision and as everyone knows, the cable is shared, unlike a Fios telephone line. Let me simply say my house is the last little leaf, on the smallest twig, on the most distant branch from the trunk. AARRRRGGGGGGHHH! Help meeee pleeeeease!
While your link is probably that slow, the server being used is pretty far away from you (500 miles) so likely the actual speed to local sites there is faster.
It certainly doesn't feel this slow. That's why I checked - and posted it.
Interesting how in a city 1400 years old, in a room in a building from the 17th century, on my laptop it feels like home. I just uploaded a big file to update something on the Genesis website, and it went up in a flash! Uploading pictures to Tripadvisor and Facebook, browsing, etc. didn't seem much slower than back home.

Wow! I am actually embarrassed to release my information...Your speeds are smokin' hot! I could only imagine how fast you get things done on the net. Holy smokes.

Funny story. When Comcast brought in internet to our area, I think I was the first or second person to sign up. Needless to say, I got ample bandwidth. During that time, I could access my *work* servers faster than if I was at work! Sadly, six month later everyone else discovered broadband and it has never been that way again.Wow!

Amir, what I'm wondering after your comments is how in the world does Bruce get an overall score of *99% faster than the US* while using in a highly populated city, such as Seattle?

I actually live about 14miles east of Seattle in Issaquah. This is a new development with good fiber optics and a lot of Microsoft/Hi-tech people living here. Now Comcast will be offering 305 speeds!!!
Density is a very good thing for speed. It means distances are shorter and that means faster transmission/lower cost to get it there. This is why people in Tokyo have had 100 mbit/sec speed for almost a decade now!
---Dead on Amir! ...And it is possible for some people to get up to 200 Mb/s!
...About $100/month.
The further you live in the countryside, usually the lowest your speed (several areas are without high speed). And some places you can't even access the Internet! ...Is that possible? ...I'm talking physical wire connection here (coax cable, phone line, etc.).

My family back in rural Virginia were still on dial-up not long ago. They are just now getting into DSL!
---One of my friends lives in the forest, up a mountain, and he has no Internet access at all.
...No electricity either, no cable, and no phone, no washing & drying, no nothing! :b
Total monthly payments? Nil, nada, zip!

We were in the same boat with our vacation house until about a year ago when all of a sudden the phone company offered 8 mbit/sec DSL. I signed up and the response is superb. So few people use it that you always get 8 mbit/sec with very low delay and very predictable latency (delay). I like it much better than my 20 mbit/sec cable at home which has unpredictable response.
-- Wow, simply amazing!
