What is your connection?
 

Well, I saw the thread entitled "Guys" and saw some speed test results. I was wondering who the 'ideal' hoast is, among us. Maybe we can share better and cheaper internet deals as well? :)

I'm not just being nosy, honest! ;-)

If you're in the UK (apologues my continental friends, and those from across the "pond") then I suggest this: http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/speedtest/ it's a good site that can help find some better and faster deals - with a map that will show how fast neighbours are getting (had they used the same speed test).

Just remember to check if your area can actually support 20mbps deals before buying one and only getting a fraction. Also, routers can slow networks down.. If your supposed to be getting a much faster speed, try missing out the router and plugging an ethernet straight into the back of your computer - it should then show a true speed on a speed test.

(I did all the tests with this router, the Netgear DG834. They were all wireless and at the same point in the house. My PS3 is wired, and I'll speed test that tomorrow)

I have a 30/30 Mbit Fibre plan

when i first did the test,upload was 17.4 mps! surely an error

edit, i did the test on ps3,bt option2 package ,bt home hub2 ,ports forwarded for ps3

this thread reminded me of some good laughs we have had on xbox.some guys almost seemed to to take it personal if we had to change hosts because of lag.you know some guys have bigger internet connections than others

Don't be embaressed Bucket, Do the test and show us how big your internet is, we wont laugh promise.

OMG :lol: How gay is that. This thread hs gone...wrong.

well if someone laughs and asks me who am i going to please with my little internet connection .i answer me!seriously though i get 21 down and 3 up which i think is decent in my part of the world.

I currently get 28 mbps download and around 8mbps upload (I'm supposed to get 35 Mb D/L 15 Mb up). I have fibre optic (BT Infinty), it's pretty good. In practice it means I can download 3Gb in about 15 mins via PSN. A good torrent to my PC flys down.. 200mb file in about 10 seconds :)

I'll definitley be hosting some Birds of steel games, not really hosted many BoP games, I let the regulars do it. Maybe next time there's a few on I'll try hosting and see if it makes a difference.
