Very cool, thanks Mike!!!

1.93 m/s btw... suppose to get 3 but things seems to slow a bit on my wireless network.

How many of these danged things do we really need?

I mean, really??

Cool, my Verizon DSL takes an average of 10-12 seconds for 2mb downloads! Fine enough for me!

**Atomic Rooster** · April 6th, 2005, 08:15 PM

Yea!! Another internet speed test. This one is kinda cool I guess.

I don't recall seeing any other ones that actually broke it down to individual text & graphics tests.

So there!

Where's my ban button???

Pretty consistent, with the cache cleared before retesting. Anyone know why the graphics test would be faster than text?

**muno** · April 7th, 2005, 08:46 AM

2mb ascii: 2.7mbs
2mb binary: 4.3mbs

No idea why the binary is faster to move... It takes cpu cycles breaking down the transfer to write all that ascii crap on screen?
