Always interesting to know how fast the other guy will be able to download the barrage of pics you're planning to post so it's time to compare and boast about how fast our net speeds are and how much they've changed since the last thread we had like this.
In case you're new and don't know how to best go about getting these results we generally use a site called speedtest.net
http://www.speedtest.net/
After you've run the test you'll be presented with bunch of new options one of which will be an option to "Share this result". Click on it.
Next click on the forum tab that has appeared and click the copy button next to the textbox you should now see.
Then just paste that into a post here and you'll have one of these little speedtest images showing you your speed just like everyone else.
Exactly like so:
Hmm, darn it, seems I've lost some speed since the last time I ran the test where I was getting about 1.6Mb/s. Understandable though since one of the undersea cables providing my country with net has had issues recently and as a result lots of people have gotten a bit of a speed decrease. Still kinda a sad result for an officially 2Mbit connection though.
At least it's finally "uncapped" these days (variable throttling kicks in at about 200GB in a month for the remainder of the month, but that's still miles better than the 5GB cap I had when I voted in the previous thread (which had since gone up to 20GB, but that still makes the "uncapped" an awesome 1000% increase)).
So, time to see whether I've finally caught up to you guys a bit or whether your own increases have put me even further behind than I used to be.
Let the boasting (and inevitable whinging) BEGIN!
