Your internet is 10x faster than mine, and as such, you are now a mortal enemy.

Prepare to die.

Although GD will be quite the disadvantage, as he will lag too much.

I just got a new router. Old one died (along with an 8port switch) due to a nearby lightning strike.

Wow. Amazing what an old router can cause.
Here's from my old router (previous post)

JamminR, that's likely due to Comcast's "Power Boost". What time did you run that test? Depending on network usage your downspeed can spike quite high. Unfortounatly they don't boost upspead :(.

Yeah, I figured it was due to Powerboost.
However, its been in our area for some time now. My old router wouldn't go above 11mbps.
I've come to discover (while testing other things) that my gaming rig MTU is only 1300 too.
I plan on correcting that today. (It was late last night when I found that out)

I've still not found a 'speed test' site that will measure speed after the 'power boost' speeds.
I figure they'll be around 8-9mbps average (what I saw in my old test)

My router sucks.

Oh, you have a Linksys router too?
Amazingly, it fit the 3rd of your list weekly (it wouldn't renew DHCP from my ISP, so I'd have to reset to get new IP), and the 2nd of that list if I ran file sharing apps for more than three or four days)

Though I'm using a Linksys now that I got from Walmart to tie me over, I've ordered an Asus WL-566GM
(If you read its features, yes, ignore the theoretical 208mbps wireless transfer rate. I got it for compatibility with several open source firmware projects)

I took the test while running my gmod server with 6 people on it.

Here you go.  These numbers seem about right.

:D

This is using a souped up linux (under VMWare right now, I'll check if the real deal is any different... I suspect ping would be less).

Wait, Meg, where are you that you're connecting to Twin Cities, MN?

Also, this is here at school, run just now while everyone is on, and under fairly heavy load.

I've run tests when most people are gone on break, and it's up around 16000. Now if only they didn't block all incoming ports and I could actually use that up bandwidth.

Heh, so you're about 4 hours from me now (driving). Planing to see the entire country before you get out of college?

Oh, just realized, I'm also running a linux torrent right now to, so that's eating ~200 up/~150 down as well. ;)
