P.S. I had to reset the router to get the highest possible speed, but that's a minor detail. *cough* :P

David, you must have Cable?
And, not that that is bad at all or in itself, but the big factor is that you must have Cable with a LOT of others in your area and you all Share the same main line is my guess.
When there is high usage, it gets divided amongst them and chokes out also. :|

Ya, I do have cable. It can be good speeds at times with little ping but then it will change within a heart beat. Chef and I were playing and my ping bounced around from 60 to +400 within a short time frame.

It's nice to see only African providers are worse than the Italian ones (so far).
I'm quite sure even those penguins in Antarctica will soon have access to a better connection.

Allright.... everybody hold on to your hats and wigs..
I tested my internet connection to day just to show a co-worker who has broadband (Frontier Communications) how fast my connection so he can compared it to his.

I got something that I did not expect.
Image

This test was taken in the morning and this is the first time that it tested this high. Again, I am in Arizona (small town in the middle of nowhere) USA.

I did tests later and prooved to be a 1 time deal. It goes and down as you below.
Image Image

But my speeds are still better then his DSL. He was having issues and was only at .50 mb/s and the tech got it up to 1.5 mb/s recently. He has the 3mb/s DSL (Frontier Communications) plan and I have the 5 mb/s Cable (CableOne.net) plan.

For the Unites States that is good to average. The people over seas do better because they have a higher limit than us in the states. If your speed is constantly what it is shown above (I am guessing that this is your speed at home), then I would say you have a good IPS (Internet Service Provider). Mine goes up and down, but I like it better than the other choices that I have. Your upload speed is good-great.

Of course I am no expert, just a person who observes other people what hearing their stories.
