Urgent - download speed feedback needed! - Oct 24, 2006 03:40
We' re doing to backend stuff and I was hoping our loyal forum goers could help with some speed feedback.

Plese reply in this thread with the following info:

1) Your geo location i.e. California USA, London UK, etc

2) Your internet connection speed (what it was sold to you as, eg up to 8mb)

3) The speed you get from a reliable fast download server, eg 512KBs

4) The kbps speed you get when you download this file (right click save as!) " BY"

5) The kbps speed you get when you download this file (right click save as!) " KZ"

You don' t have to download the whole file, you can just look at the speed you get over a 20 second period for example.

If you can' t connect to BY please still provide the other data.

This will be a big help in working a few things out. Thanks!

Well,actually many parts in america has crap internet,while sweden has covered 95% of the country in broadband.

But yes...it' s a bit of a sign.

However Iran,shortcuted their broadband because they wanna stop " false propaganda " obver the internet.

Thats not true in all cases. Ireland has one of the best performing economies in the World but our broadband coverage is poor.
