How fast is your connection ?

Check your speed here http://www.speedtest.net/

These are my results,,, (gotta love FIOS , Fiber Optics)

you must be on dial up ?

not nearly that fast; ↔37ms, ↓2.86Mbps, ↑0.94Mbps.

at least it's far faster than my last connection; cheap-o dialup on extremely old/degraded lines pulling between 14.4 and 9.6k.

Paint dries faster than my connection.

Nope not dial up. I don't know what it's called. There is a line of site type of antenna they had to put up outside. What is that? There aren't phone lines to my cabin or I would have gone with dial up...

I got an F as well. I figured as much when it took 23 hours to load Adobe free trail. Slower than 86% of USA.

Must be a wireless network antenna,, hmm ,, ?? maybe the server is dial up..

sounds like a point to point wireless service like microwave wi-max (IEEE 802.16) or directional wifi (IEEE 802.11 with a waveguide antenna).

JIC: maybe they use some sort of fixed throttling for load management?

yeah,, was thinking long range wifi antenna ,,,, thats a lot of throttling ,, but probably whats going on..

Ok yea that sounds right. It's the only thing available without going satallite.

Still on Copper Wire here. Fibre Optics isn't expected for some years!

Let's just say, however fast yours is, mine is faster. ;)

Ireally didn't think I would be the only one with fiber optics ?
