The fastest internet you can get for your home in my country is 512 kbps download. i live in iran.
the government says it is very high and we don't need no more than that.
actually, they don't give us high speed internet to avoid us from watching news tv's of other countries online. It is limited too. we usually can't download more than 3 GB per month. and the price is 20 $ per month.

That is the server I used to do the test. My ISP's server is in Uruguay

K...pwnAge is my real-life friend, and he's got Rogers Lite, Which is only supposed to be 3 Mb/s...that's my plan, too...and how to hell does he get 22 Mb/s...I asked him and he had no idea...his internet must be on steroids!

So how to hell do you get something like that to happen, considering the circumstances?

Grrr! No close servers = inaccurate results.

Man, so many of you guys have such fast connections...



Edit: Hmm, it's not that accurate. I just tested again and got different' results. My speed went up but so did my ping. Weird.

.5Mb down at best
.3Mb up at best

I don't know what this means exactly.

I don't know what this means exactly.

You have a 10 Megabit/second download speed. There are 8 Bits in a Byte (wether Mega/Giga/Kilo dosen't matter). If I myself understand this correctly at this speed you can download a 1 MegaByte file (comprised of 8 Megabits) in one second(at max with a constant speed). The Average size of a .MP3 file I download is 70 MegaBytes. At your connection speed this would take 56 seconds.

On a related note, the same principle applies to "Google's 1 Gigabit fiber optics". With this speed you could download a 1 GigaByte file in 8 seconds. So lets say you wanted to download an entire Bluray Movie (assuming all space is filled=50 GigaBytes and a constant download speed) at Google's speed. That would take you approx. 6.6666 minutes or 6 minutes and 36 seconds.
(Sorry about the above, most people don't understand how amazing this speed is and I felt like explaining. Of course it has yet to be implemented in any city.)
