The Mb/s is misleading as people thinks its MEGA bytes, but it is mega BITS

So from this test i can download with about 1,733 mega BYTES per second

not true tho, as i can download with 2,2MB/s

Actually that makes your results fairly accurate, converting the bits into bytes gives 2.16MB/s

Fixed it to fastest they got but we live outside of the main town with good internet but in 2 days ill post my new speed. WOOT!

The speed seems heavily dependant on the server I'm using. RIT has a 10 gigabit backbone to the Institution, and I have a gigabit line going to my room, so I was hoping it would read faster. Still, its better than my connection back home!

I like the new speedtest site layout.

Top is during the day, bottom is evening!

That site's definitely a fun data-collection toy. I've long had a sloppy, subjective impression that my little corner of the world had developed an Internet rush hour. It ain't a real stats sample, but a morning and afteroon check at this test site gives me numbers to back up my instincts:

That's a major download speed drop from earlier.

But I'm also only half-techy, and I have no real idea what the ping value means other than a guess it is related to 'latency' talk I see from online multiplayer gamers. Taking this thread as a psuedo-dataset, it's interesting to see no obvious correlation between download-upload rates and ping speed. Would differences in software firewall choices be a factor in ping speeds? I'm running Kaspersky behind a Linksys router.
