[Speed tests] How fast is YOUR Broadband?

February 25th, 2004, 09:27 PM

I'm on Primus DSL. I signed up for 1.5 meg service. I did a speed test and it currently shows 2.36 megs download speed. Tested 5 times averaging about 2 megs or greater. I believe my I have been upgraded to a 3.0 meg DSL service. This is yet just anonther improvement on Primus Internet service.

To the individual getting slow speed test results on Primus. Why don't you do another speed test and this time on the primus network. That's where you can obtain more accurate test results on your connection. OK !!!

I have a 1.5 meg dsl service, but I believe I have been upgraded to 3.0 megs.

I repeat, I have a 1.5 meg DSL service with Primus but have been upgraded to 3.0 megs as far as I'm concern. (Primus may have upgraded 1.5 meg DSL service to 3.0 megs to compete with other ISP's such as Rogers and Bell Sympatico. Wait, did I mention NO DOWNLOAD CAPS!!!

NOTHING is fast enough for canadians. Canucks react way too fast. so fast that even the speed of light is slow for a canadian.

Canadians have a problem, catching their thoughts, they think too fast.

December 7th, 2004, 09:19 AM

I think you should try thinking your self instead of just being shrubbery....Are you wearing yellow :P

December 7th, 2004, 09:32 AM

Well at least we think.

Mine is:

948 / 695
Your download speed : 971198 bps, or 948 kbps.
A 118.5 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 712419 bps, or 695 kbps.


I have a fixed wireless connection from a local company: Web-ster.com. Could be a lot worse, they don't have cable modem or dsl in my area. Hey... anything beats dialup.

January 13th, 2005, 04:08 PM

So, I'm an idiot. How did you get those numbers? Is there a test site somewhere? An independent unbiased test site?
