Talking of uploads/downloads

Question

I have just done a speed test below and I would like to know if my result is fast, ok, or slow.

I am on broadband in New Zealand.

Does the result indicate it is my computer that is fast, OK or slow, or is it the provider

Last Result:

Download Speed: 61 kbps (7.6 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 45 kbps (5.6 KB/sec transfer rate)

Answer 3

As far as broadband goes it's extremely slow.

If you have dial up it's smoking fast.

Answer 4

Try http://www.speedtest.net instead of the one you did. When performing a speed test, make sure that there is no other network activity (don't surf or download anything, and if you're sharing your internet connection, make sure nobody else is using it).

Otherwise, your speed is very slow - faster than dial-up but not by much. The problem is with the provider (not the computer).

A standard ISP that offers you 3mbps access provides 3mbps max. If more customers of that ISP are using the internet, your speed will be slower than advertised. (The load is balanced between users). Try testing at different times of the day.

Answer 5

That's slow Dune, about the speed of dial up on a slow day.

It isn't your computer but your supplier.

Good link that I'll 'borrow it' LOL

Consumers NZ good on them
