Most ISPs have caps on upload. It does kind of suck but I suspect they do it to preseve neighborhood bandwidth.

I want synchronous up/down! 7 meg up would be insane.

I thought I recognized him. I haven't seen the show in so long I had forgotten. Very cool.

I just looked at my screengrab of the download/upload result and saw that my server is in New York. To quote a famous hot sauce TV commercial: "NEW YORK CITY?! Get a rope..."

Looks like all of your servers are at least in your home state. The company that we get our cable through is Grande Communications, a Texas Company. Interesting.

Yeah, on that page it narrows down where your ISP is. Nice little animation.

Almost got mine up to speed now:


Geekyfanboy

Wow.. X do you have a T1 connection?

X

I'm using a 20m down 2m up cable modem during peak hours. It still doesn't give me my full speed yet.

Ktrek

My FIOS connection is supposed to be 20 down and 2 up also but so far the best I have been able to manage was around 16 down.

Okay, so I forgot to turn off my firewall before the test, it's still running slow but I picked up another 2mbps


Ktrek

I still can't get much better even with turning off the firewall.

Well, I'm happy with my speed but I would like what I am paying for and that is 20 down and 2 up and I'm not getting quite that!
