I’ve Got Speed

“I’m the urban spaceman, baby; I’ve got speed. I’ve got everything I need.

I’m the urban spaceman, baby; I can fly. I’m a supersonic girl.” Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

At school today I had issues with internet speed so I went to http://speedtest.net/ and did a speed test. I was on my Mac Book Air so the test was wireless….

 I then went to a class iMac that was wired with an ethernet cable and got….

 Because I know people, I then rang up people who knew people and they did clever Loop internet firewall things. I then tried again. Vast improvement. Cooking with gas- as my father used to say!

  1. An interesting test – my home ISP and school ISP are identical (different plans of course).

    Home= 14.75 down/ 2.04 up
    School = 6.56 down / 0.84 up
    Ethernet connection @ school = 6.60 down / error for up

  2. Its not that I have too much time on my hands, it more the case of being able to do a comparison of speed throughout the country and being able to contribute.
