Highest Internet Speed

Roger · 15th July 2001, 4:55 PM

What is the highest speed you have seen your internet connection hit? (at home, not at work or Uni), as in download rate.

In kilobytes, not kilobits

Thats not fair!!! alot of us can only get shitty service at home

@Work - 120kb/s @home 4-7kb/s

Roger · 15th July 2001, 5:43 PM

Well, the highest I've had at home is about 900k/s, but it only stayed there for a little while, the highest I've had sustained for ages is about 700k/s

Gotta love Optus@Home

i used to work for a computer shop who setup this isp for this company i remember that day very good 1.3meg/s

Epoch · 15th July 2001, 6:42 PM

20.5kb/s.

For 15min.

On my modem.

Which was connected at (AFAIK) 28.8k.

Downloading the CS1.1full .exe in two streams, from PlanetMirror and jetstreamgames.co.nz, both by FTP, in Getright.

It was 2am, I did get an hours worth of downloads done in 10min, the file wasn't corrupted, and I have no idea what happened.

But it's not like I'm complaining or anything.

bout 900k/sec with O@H sustained

SyK · 15th July 2001, 8:10 PM

On bigpond adsl

it pretty much always hits the 64Kb/s limit when downloading stuff.

Optus@Home

Peak of 866K but that wasn't sustained.

Mazeika · 16th July 2001, 11:23 AM

sustained at 600kilobytes a second it wouldn't go any higher

why's that??? it just went 599 600 back to 599 and wouldn't budge. is my line capped at that speed?

Morjo · 16th July 2001, 1:14 PM

I got 900KB/SEC off AARNET for about 20sec once!

Mort · 16th July 2001, 4:46 PM

I have a screen shot showing me downloading 6 files (Redhat ISO's) at once showing a combined sustained rate of 1,686KB/Sec.

Considering I'm sitting on a 155Mb ATM link shared with 2 other people all to ourselves, I could probably get faster but my laptop couldn't really handle it me thinks...

Rass · 17th July 2001, 2:01 PM

We've just gotten a new ATM link installed here at work..

But we're talking about home stuff... before I got my cap put in place, I was pulling down at about 900k/sec which was cool.

With the cap in place, I consistantly hit my 64kbyte/sec cap

Jamo · 17th July 2001, 4:59 PM

6KB/sec on dialup, yey

Samdawg · 17th July 2001, 5:39 PM

I'm pulling about 30kiloBytes per second off AARNET at the moment.
Not bad for country Victoria. I am actually at work
on the ISDN. I think we have it at about 256kilobits.

Looking to upgrade to frame. Mmmmmmmm

deanx0r · 17th July 2001, 6:42 PM

Fastest is about 1.2 Megabits per second on O@H cable at a non-busy time, for like 1 second downloading about 20 files....but who knows it could've just been reported incorrectly by the software
