What's with my speeds?

[wade2k8]

I have had a 7 Mb/s connection for some time now and regularly get speeds of 800+ kB/s. That is just fine as it is right in line with what my connection speed is.

Just now I did a speed test and got this:



Now, unless I'm mistaken that is a lot faster connection as it is now showing I have a 14 Mb/s connection. Right? I'm still only getting the same 800+ kB/s in my news client though.

either speedtest site is fucked up or you just got upgraded...

It's not the speedtest site as I checked two different sites.

If I got upgraded, my client should be downloading at an increased speed though.

Reset you clients settings and reset them...or do you have "a certain speed set" or set to unlimted?

 

[silky1317]

Alt.Binz has a maximum speed setting but I always leave it as the default, which is zero, or unlimited.

I've even tried setting it to 999999 though just to see what happened and it's still the same.

Alright, grab something off a download site like:

Just grab something decently big and see what speeds you get, through whatever browser you use.

uTorrent is downloading at the same speeds as well.

Maybe it's a speed boost feature kicking in like on comcast?

Yep on roadrunner it's called "Power Boost" - gives you a temporary increase in downstream bandwidth. It's free with all levels of service (at least in NYC, I assume everywhere).

Hi, new here...
What is your download speed from your usenet provider? I"m getting ~700KB/s with a similar Speedtest.net rating.

Thanks

My speed test results are nowhere near that good, but I get 1300 KB/s on newsgroup downloads.

MY downloading speed is 2.365Mbps. Is this good or not? I have checked my internet speed results from this site Scanmyspeed.com
