How Shite Is My/Your Internet Connection?

Just wondered because I am officially that bored today. Will the summer in England ever start this year? I seriously think we had it that one day during March!!

Re the link above, click your nearest location (usually the yellow triangle)
Website will run test
Press copy for the forum link and paste straight into your text box.



I'll give rep for the best connection this time next week and I'll take rep for the slowest!!



2.7MB - well I suppose my connection is free with TalkTalk!!

The yellow triangle thing that it recommended for me was nowhere near me, but I picked it anyway.

The speed of my internet varies, depending on the weather. All that is available in my area is Dial-up or satellite internet...I go with the satellite internet. It's HELLA fast when it's all clear outside (like tonight...I could download an entire song in roughly five seconds or less). Otherwise it sucks and i'm forced to play SimCity 4 til the clouds go away

Satellite internet, that sounds posh!!!

Only options for me is through the phone line as cable doesnt work in my area.

Is posh a good thing or a bad thing? I've only ever associated that word with a spice girl.

No need to tell me mine's shite... I keep meaning to sort out 2mpbs, but I never get round to it.


If it helps recover some of my reputation round these parts, though, I have had this same connection since 2002, way back when hardly anyone had broadband, and those that did had something shitty like 128kpbs. I was 1337, once...

Ugh another reason to hate my apartment. When I moved in a few years ago, only DSL was available, so that's what I have. Cable Internet is available now, and clearly I should switch over:
