I recently discovered this site where you can test your download and upload speeds. I thought it would be interesting for everyone to post what type of connection they have and their results from one of the tests.

I'm on DSL, and after using one of the Flash 8 tests, it reported I have a download speed of 11388 Kb/s and an upload of 628 Kb/s.

Comcast replaced my cable modem a few months ago, must have given me a good one!

1533 Up 252 down. 65ms Latency

That's pretty much what Bellsouth says I'm paying for.. 1.5mbps down, 256 up... I live in the boondocks so I'm just lucky to have DSL.. Last year at this time I had a 56k modem connecting at 21kbps.

Meh, Telemex sucks

1138 down 855 up.

This will be going up drastically in the next couple months. I'm booting DSL and getting a type of service that runs through fiber optics. It's insanely fast.

I think the best I seen was about 1.5 megs upload and 28 megs download from Chicago.
