How fast is your DSL?
I have no idea. It's back, by the way.
When I went to DSL I first checked into the local high-speed internet
services. All were either tied to also paying for TV (which I never watch)
or had terrible service and product reports. DSL maybe slower, but at least
I've had very few problems - only out twice, a few hours, in all the years
I've used it. Fast enough for pleasant Usenet, email, and Google research.
I've not tried Youtube or other video - will some day.
Try http://www.speedtest.net/
I'd be curious to see how much DSL has improved since I used to use it..
I'm not home right now, but I'll try to remember to run wired and
wifi speed tests on my various devices tonight and post the results.
I just tested mine on that site and I am getting 9.96meg down, 720k up
It's too bad that the Paintster has me plonked because my numbers might blow his mind.
He doesn't think 9.96 down is possible? Wait until he sees my numbers.
Wired PC - 61.97 Mb down, 6.22 Mb up
iPad - 44. 89 Mb down, 6.52 Mb up
Android phone - 60.54 Mb down, 6.2 Mb up
Of course, these numbers will vary with each test and will be slightly lower when multiple
devices are accessing the network.
Who's your service provider? It's Charter Communications here at the center and Charter is providing digital cable TV to the rooms along with WiFi Internet. There are WiFi access points on the hallway ceilings in various places. The cute little Cisco cable boxes are 4X3X1 inches in size and features an extra IR sensor the size of the end of a man's thumb on a 4' cable that plugs into the back of the cable box. There is even an HDMI output on the back of the cable box along with the coax connectors. It's a slick setup and I'm impressed. ^_^
