Do I win?

No.

 

[TheDreamLord]

99% faster? wow i say.

 

[Sausage Head]

my speed is worse

 

[Ace Overclocked]

this is where i'm spending my vacations(and maybe live in because my parents think it's a beautiful place, it takes me 3 hours to download 1gb

but it has improved since the last test it can become up to 2/3 mb now i can't retest since i'm torrenting and direct downloading

 

[TwoBladedKnight]

Not too bad... get ~1.1mb/s on a good day...

 

[Sir-Fritz]

Usually get about 18-19. I'm always surprised when people say Australian internet is rubbish.

 

[TheDreamLord]

why should we not test while torrenting? because i am atm

 

[Lokao0]

Brazilian internet is slower, even more slow than Australia or whatever internet.
I'm not gonna test my internet now because I'm "torrenting", but be sure that brazilian internet is slow as hell.

Uh... Probably because you're downloading something and the test won't be 1% accurate when you're doing so...?
(I think)

EDIT:
I finished my torrent's download, so I did the test. Here it is:

Again, slow as hell.

Fuck me.

I'm guessing anything below 99% has no Internet access?

I hadn't taken my Speedtest in a while but I got decent results this time around (My ping is a bit lower)

I don't understand how the grading works... The A+ is being handed out like candy

Apparently, it is because it does not. World's average appears to be 8 Mbit according to the data, yet in a high-tech country, a connection speed below 2 Mbit is put into the top percentile.

 

[Ravager90]

sorry guys

Well that's somewhat interesting

Dat 13 ms ping is hawt with that connection

 

[DaRk_ViVi]

It seems Australia is on the same bad internet as Italy:

This is a 20Mbps connection here in Italy (Libero 20Mega), so we have slow internet and we also get ripped off with the "fast connections". -_-

Speed has limits in value. I'm a Teksavvy customer, what that means, is my 1.5 speed is useful. I can get files off of newsgroups at speed of more or less 740k constant but the best detail is I can download 300 gigs of data every friggin month too.

If your service offers some POS service limited to 30 gigs like is the norm in Canada for people like craptastic Bell Canada, then getting twice my speed means precisely nothing to me. The speed is worthless on a worthless service.

I pay 30 bucks a month, and frankly if you are not getting 300 gigs of data movement each month, you are not getting value.

Might take me a few more minutes to download my file, but, I can download 100s of movies every month (well that is assuming there were 100s of movies to get every month). Thing is, I have absolutely no worries about exceeding my bandwidth limits. It's nearly impossible to need more than 200 unless you are a hard core downloader.

30 gigs though, isn't even enough for legal uses let alone otherwise.
