What is your broadband speed?

This might be a silly question, but what difference does it make by clicking on a different server? One is saying like 1.something and others are saying 9.something

The closest server SHOULD give the best speed, and the most accurate

Buiriful Connection to Honolulu

I win the shittest internet competition by some margin it appears.

Bastards...

My connection speed is up to 10 megabits per second, I get that speed in the low times, although in the evenings it's around 4-6 megabits, I don't complain.

Since it's one of those portable routers where you don't need a phone line, when I connect it in my room it's not as fast as when I connect it on the top floor, you should see some of the speeds I can get with my sister's laptop, consistently over 9.

The 1.something and the 10.something were the two closest Others are giving me around 7-9ish.

Chuffed with the 10.something, I'm only paying for 10

Depends if your router changes IP's often. A lot of the time my Internet thinks I live in Bournemouth and it really pisses me off.

Swedes have the best internet I've seen, 100 megabits per second is like the norm there.

I think South Korea is best.

Is this any good?

Negrito Please.

My connection in Venezuela was 0.120

I get 15mb/s download and 1mb upload here in Toronto. My download sometimes jumps to 20 and even 30 though.


edit: put in gigabytes instead of megabytes.

Google is working on a connection that is measured in gigabytes.
