herbalist 4 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Inexpensive DSL, rated 864/160. Only paying $18.95/month, no caps, no ads, no blocked ports. They've been reliable.This is using an old Win98FE box, 366MHZ, equipped with a software firewall and Proxomitron. Running thru an even older PC (P5-133) converted to Smoothwall. With hardware this old, I'm quite happy with the performance.Rick Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Snrub 1 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 24/8Mbps connection - not very accurate for the closest speedtest site it seems:A bit more believable when testing a few hundred kilometers away at the southern end of Sweden: Link to post Share on other sites
DigeratiPrime 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Home: OptimumOnline. Wish FiOS were in the neighborhood Hmm, down from over a year ago, ping is better though; Cable Broadband though so its variable.Time to run some more tests, check the connection and if necessary call the ISP!

That's strange. It does the same thing as my VTel (vermontel.net) DSL connection does, (sometimes) the download drops while the upload stays roughly the same!

Also it is an Asymmetric Connection meaning the Downstream/Upstream ratio is not 1:1. What is interesting is why they seem to affect each other, that is uploading decreases the download rate, instead of staying at the same ratio. I am not sure if that is a property of Asymmetric connections, Cable, the OS TCP/IP stack, some combination of those or other? Since the bandwidth from my ISP is variable it is difficult to figure this out. Link to post Share on other sites
