At home with a full dedicated server running.

Woot woot, Korea rocks.



Here's off a US server for reference... I gotta wonder if it gets choked once it reaches the states.

Sort of. Not by design/on purpose though.
Though it seems majority of the Asian countries have done excellent jobs of beefing up internal infrastructure, the cables to/from those countries that head towards US based IPs haven't really (or at least, not enough to keep up with demand.
US Gateway routers or connections to them are, for the most part, slow*.

* Though, hundreds of thousands (millions) of people using data traffic (net/voip) across a underwater cable and you still get 6mbps shouldn't really be considered slow, eh?

Wow, that is fast Meg! Looks like it must be some sort of 30/30 connection there.  Ah, when FIOS gets here I'll have to upgrade to the killer connection. Of course that most likely won't be for so long that I shouldn't even think about it.... :(

Though I've not seen any news of it on broadbandreports.com (and I rarely check any comcast sites), it seems my local Comcast upload speedboost has been increased.
Speedboost used to give me ~25-30mbps download/2mbps upload, that would then decrease to 8mbps down/512k up after about 30seconds of transfer.

Though I don't know if my actual rate has changed... boost upload sure has.

Uh, sure, for about 30 seconds at a time. :P
Powerboost = fast for about 30 seconds, then a drop down to 'purchased' speeds.
For me, I think thats 512kb, perhaps higher.
I'd love to have 2mb constant. I've been searching broadbandreports.com - can't find any mention of speed increases, powerboost or not.

If I ran that scan Id probably cause my internet to implode...

Here is a rough estimate.. no crap..
Upload 10kb/s
Download 16b/s


THose are cap speed.. not average by any stretch of the word... Average Down for me is 9kb/s Dont really upload ever so dont know on that one.

Nice Don. Is that constant, or a time based burst like my cable ISP Comcast uses?

Ah, fiber. I don't expect America's current largest fiber deployment company (Verizon) to come through my part of the US for another 10-20 years.

Also, I did some FTP transfer upload tests to get a true upload reading for my connection.
HTTP bursts as seen in the speedometer image in previous post are 5mb for about ~30 seconds.
Actual transfer rate after the time/byte methodology slows down to 1Mbps / 131KB/s
Thats better than the .5 Mbps I had a year ago, still not as nice as what I'd prefer (2+)
