Let's compete a little - what's your Internet speed?

Comcast cable here...
My best result (so far), from today is:

I would kill for that speed. Ok maybe not kill but still . I have a meer 5.5 kb per sec download speed.

Where is my kevlar vest???....LOL

BTW...a friend from my board with her Mac on broadband, without any tweaks (contrary to my connection), posted with 32.9 MBps download speed. Her upload is also faster, with 2.7MBps.
I don't know, if it has anything to do with Mac, but...

I heard with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of special equipment you can get it up to 4 gigs. Also I had to tweak mine just to get that 5.5 kb. At one point it was about 2 kb so I happy with what I have. Also my upload speed is about half a kb so I dont even bother .

I wonder how much porn she downloads per day because thats the only thing 40 gigs per second is good for.

No it's not... you could download every linux distro in just a few weeks with that kind of speed. Only thing slowing you down would be time for searching for every linux distro.
Actually, if she's like my grandma, she would probably download all of the Bill Gaither Albums and Billy Graham Sermons that exist.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[mycompisbroke]

I would download until I run out of space which would only take a few hours at that speed.

As for BB speed, there is really nice, free program (some of you probably know it) called TCPOptimizer (http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php). It really works. You can get probably 20% better speed when you allow it to make changes to your settings.
It's pretty straightforward...

[SilentAssasin64]

There a program like that out there for Linux users?

My best download speed is as shown here. I have the Blueyonder (Virginmedia) 20 Mbit cable service. the max upload is 768k. The graph shows I have just started downloading some large files from a binary group on the Blueyonder news server. Blue is down and yellow is up.
