It's funny how I beat the 1mbit up almost anytime with my hsdpa modem. Shame on dsl-providers...

Fixed machine, but it seems to be having a bad day (usualy around 16/18).

Wireless Netbook

My Mobilephone (Sorry no screenshot; but here are the details;)

Download: 1.37 Mbps
Upload: 0.9 Mbps
Ping: 71

Pretty much what I pay for.

Could just be that the remote testing server isn't quite up to scratch, or there is some sort of network congestion between you and that server. Speedtest.net certainly isn't necessarily perfect.

I now more satisfied with the new ISP.

But the downside is that they only provide static IP, and I think dynamic IP is better because of my downloads.

A dynamic IP is *better* than a static IP? How very silly. I assume you're referring to sites like ... I can't even remember the name of them now, but those silly paid-for download sites where free users can only download at 5KB/s every 3 days or whatever. You should simply choose better sites to download from.

Also, while you get those sorts of speeds locally, do you download much content from outside Hong Kong, or the nearby region? How are speeds to, say, Europe, or America? I found they weren't fantastic when I was in Hong Kong, although not too bad by all means (had a 20Mbps connection at my hotel, got great speeds locally or from Akamai cache servers).

Heh?!

This can't be right! An upload speed far superior to my download speed!

Call the internet company and complain about your internet being too fast.

Only in these absurd cases they will be willing to help you!

Do you happen to work for the company that runs the test server?

Daan Timmer · Post by **Daan Timmer** » 29 Jul 2011 17:05

nope, am on a 500mbit outwards fiber line. @Campzone, large outdoor lan-party, for 11days.

They are finally on a proper stable connection over there then?

The best my broadband connection can produce (usually mired in 1.5Mbps download).

And from my phone

This isn't how it is meant to work

Well, we managed to use up 10 GB of bandwith in three days. Ouch.

And I've not even been gaming online... the new provider seems slightly faster, but only slightly. But the figures suggest otherwise:

This is even worse than mine! Are you in middle of a desert?

No, but rural parts of England may as well be... some places just 5 miles or so away either don't get broadband at all, or struggle!

I had that one from my phone:

I only get high uploads with a modem, so probably the phone doesn't support hsupa.

I guess I lacked knowledge regarding that, could you tell me more about the difference between static and dynamic IP?
And regarding the download sites, I'm now fine with them since I have now found some better sites as you've mentioned. There always other choices.

I download content from Hong Kong and sometimes other parts of the world, however, I don't really know where the servers are located. Sometimes I can get up to a few hundred KB (Bytes), say 200-500 KB, when I download from foreign sites. But my experience does not match with the speedtest results, I wonder why? Server is too busy?
