Prepping for the Mud Puppy Limited Edition Dogbowl

Tuning up my internet connection.





How's your connection compare? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Test it here http://www.speedtest.net/

did i miss something? mud puppy?

28.8 kps <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Rub it in Ted! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yes, you did.

Wow you guys have fast internet.
Might have viruses here, let me check......

What isp do you have Ted?

Dang Ted.


What do you have some T-5000 connection or something?

I am supposed to have "High Speed" cable internet.

But, my results are pathetic compared to yours and Wiggity's




A little download on 3rd test:



.

Mine was 2000 something download and 461 upload.

I'm at work at the fruit loving computer company.<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I had to clip the ISP or I'd get in trouble. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

My home ISP is Surewest and it's about 18000kb/s up and 20000kb/s down

I hate computers. I wouldn't have this one if it wasn't for knives and guns. My anti computer itis is why I alwys buy Scraps from the secondary market. I am tuning up the truck to get to BLADE before everyone else!!

This should make everyone with a slow system feel better. Here's mine:

Even with this slow speed I've only missed out on one Busse family knife offering I wanted. That was the limited amount of Dog Father's Dan offered here while back.

503 and 245, Tiscali s*ck! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

11582 for downlaod
2232 for upload

... I mean... I don't know what that means or anything but sure!

Fingers crossed bld522! Hate to miss that little knife, let's hope it's not a Sunday evening (USA time) release!

wow I am slow!!!

I need me some road runner action!

i thought i was paying for DSL

Not to bad considering I'm leeching from my own wi-fi server. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

On my laptop. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Probably 10 times as fast on the PC. I'll check on that one.

i have a cable modem hooked up through a wireless router. not too shabby...

im upgrading tomorrow

I am not impressed at all. But I have God on my side, and by the power of constant prayer until the moment of release I will get one for me.

Got to get back to my prayers...see ya.


Peace.

2564/432

Not to bad, I've never had a problem. Hopefully it all works well when the time comes.

I was always really fond of Veronica when I was a kid.

oh i forgot


ill be there

I think mine is slow.

Now it's all about Erin from esurance

Wow, the lag for the server ping is really long. Are you on satellite?

No, this is Bell South's (AT&T) idea of high speed DSL. With a new computer no less. AT&T sucks.

Well I'm not Ted-speed but I'm doing OK. I plan on doing F5 Flexs to compensate for my internet speed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Mine's getting a bit better now after it's warmed up a bit.

Ted isnt showing us where the server is, for all we know he may be right next to it.
I'm onto you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

It's not that close. About 100 miles. This is the best time I've managed.

How?
I'm 21miles away.

Geographical distance is a small part of the equation mac.

Network topology plays a much larger part. Ted has a serious connection at his office & there are obviously no bottlenecks between him and the server location.

Then you can get into peering agreements and all that fun stuff. Ted's employer would have a lot of folks wanting to peer & can pick and choose the best. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Huh?

On dial-up from the other side of the Earth ...but will still give it a go!

Hope there are no 'spoilers' here like there were with the Busse SAR release?

What he means is, I work for a well known computer company and it would be sad if we only had moderately fast internet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sorry Mac, I tried to simplify it, however it can be a complex subject. Bare bones is this:
Your connection is made up of a whole bunch of "hops" with each hop being a link. Your connection to a server will only be as fast as the slowest link.

Welcome to life on the road. This is the connection at my hotel. Hopefully this will be a weekend release. Much faster at home...

Mac,
When ya get a little older you'll realize it's even simpler.

Beer: Hops good!
Internet: Hops bad!

There ya go. The important things, simplified. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And there we go! Kraz's concise guide to Network Engineering! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

We have a really good crown corporation(owned by the Provincial government) that runs the telecoms here and we have really good cheap internet with no throttling.
We often get stuff way ahead of most places because it is a tiny market with less than a million people and really good infrastructure as well the telecom has a deal with Telus. I missed the last couple knives which now that I think about it might have had to do with the Bittorrent running full tilt.

Eeeegads man! Huh, I understand beer=hops good but all that other stuff..... mine is pretty slow just because I have the worlds worst ISP the only ne available in the neighborhood ;(

I don't know about that Stan - are you worse than my 28.8 kps? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I read this today in study hall and my teacher wondered why I was cracking up in the back of the class.
Ted, Chris, and Kraz you guys are great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

dang andy


thats like.....not being connected to the internets
