7. Man, this is really weird
Download 257
Upload 868

:wtf:

We have cable, so it must be this old wireless card I'm using; I'm on an old laptop that I recently literally dug out of the closet and installed Linux on. Runs like a top otherwise, and this speed is certainly good enough for stuff like hanging around message boards. :hi: I'll try the new laptop later when Mrs. Ironflange is finished with her dumb jigsaw puzzle game.

10. OK, I'm on the other computer now
DL 2024
UL 849

That's not bad, but it's strange that the other machine has faster uploads. The rest of our computers, gawd we have a lot, are wired together. I'll test one sometime.

20. More computers on a home network can slow down your speed.
If you're really interested, just hook one up and try that.

My high speed cable is now on the low end of the spectrum; now the company not only has 'high speed xtreme', but now high speed 'nitro'. The latter is $93 per month...:wtf:

18. My usual connection (cable internet) is really fast.
However, I'm at my mom's house right now, and she has AOL dial-up. Oh well, can't complain. At least I can get online!
