What bandwidth do you normally surf AF on?

I am just wondering whether the 56k warning for pics is getting a bit redundant. I normally sorf on 512/128 or 1.5m/256. The slowest connection I use is at home which is still 256/64.


So for this poll, please choose whether you are on dial up (56k or slower) or on broadband (256k or faster) for 80%+ of your internet usage time.

:cheers:

Theres no poll yet

I am always on broadband either DSL or T1 but I like the 56k warnings because I can quickly pick out the picture threads

1.5/384

I understand where you're coming from and agree. Like when I'm downloading something else and the pics load as if I was on 56k anyway.

What I am suggesting for the future is that we simply have something along the lines of [LRG] in any thread with heaps of big pictures or videos etc. Anything that realistically requires a decent amount of bandwidth to load in an acceptable amount of time.

im on cable, on Cogeco, supposedly its one of the fastest in North America, but im not sure what speed it is at.

cable....roadrunner

56k. rural user.

cable/roadrunner. even the insanely large pictures that sometimes get posted are no problem even when downloading other things.

Roadrunner, I average 350k/s downloading.. no idea what the upload speed is.

I'm actually running a bit slower than normal right now. I'm usually at 2500-2700 Kbps:

P.S. - That's from home by the way. I'll be right back with my work results (I can can control my work comp remotely).

ADSL, downloading is usually a 40-50 kb/s affair.

ADSL, d/l at around 280kbps, upload at around the same.

DSL, download speed: 1.5 Mbps

1536/128
or
1536/324

DSL

Cox Cable, not sure on speed, its either 256 or 350 I think though, its pretty fast but not the speed of sound or anything

Right now, my internet speed is messed up due to the poor connection. I m supposed to be running Cable/DSL but someting is wrong with the coonection but heres my current speed.

29.7 kilobits per second

(depending on time of day) around 1.5 mbps at home, and 2 mbps at work

1.9 mbps at work 58 kbps at home

carrrnut how do you capture the screen like that?


i just clocked 10.8 megabits per second with my optimum online cable service.

carrrnutt and all the others, you can die.

I think 56k users don't wanna vote cuz it'll take too long :lol2:

Hit the Print Screen button to take a snapshot of whatever is on your screen. Go into Photoshop or something and under file select New, then hit ctrl-v to paste the picture onto the new canvas.

1.1 here at work. I'll check at home later on.

I tied carrrnutt. Except replace 3.7 seconds with 3.6 and the word "Arizona" with "Utah".

I got about 400 kilobits per second from a 512/128 ADSL connection. Still fine for high paced pics, movies and whatnot. :)

I got 2.1mbps on that test.

I'm using cable at home and highspeed at work

ho

lee

shit


is that a T-5 or something?

poor old 56k, nothing else is offered....

768kbps ADSL, though I usually only get around 600-something kbps (download speed, that is) according to that test.

Damn i just did it at my school and got 8.9 Mps. That is unbelievable.

Finally checked it here at home and its 3.3 megabits per second - not to bad.

3.9 mbit/sec

I'm on Cable or T-1 but I do like having the warnings about 56k so that I can look to see the pics. :smile:

OK, these people have responded that they're usually on 56k:
burnM, Damien, FireBball972, lakerfan1784, RallyRaider, taranaki, tonioseven

Would you guys mind if we ditched all the [big pic] type warnings in favour of something like
[BIG]
[LRG]
[>56]

Etc, for all big pic, movie and large java game threads?

I'm cool with that.
I'm running on cable, 512k down, 256 up. Boardering on 3 years that I've had it (as of sept 1st)

Im on a cable router, but its cox digital cable

I have Comcast Cable

my speed registered at 4.4 Megabits per Second

Would you guys mind if we ditched all the [big pic] type warnings

That wouldn't bother me a bit.
If I don't feel like waiting for them, I don't. If I'm bored out of my skull, I do.
I'm not about to tell anyone what to do or not do... This place is free to use, so why should I bitch about it? :p

running charter cable @ 4mbdown/256up

not bad for this huge forum that eats my bandwidth :D
