P.S. we use the same server

I wasn't going to point out that we are on the same server...

But I really don't mind waiting for pages to load nearly as much as I hate waiting for a huge upload! Purely subjective tatse. Pages like this load almost instantly. I could load it at the same speed at half the rating for download! There is just not much to it.

But I recently had to upload over 7,000 png images (an animation sequence) and that is where my cognitive dissonance becomes cognitive resonance and I enjoy the ability to upload quickly!

At 1920 x 1080 that was over 14 GB to upload!! It was uploaded in just a few hours.

So I win for what I care about most, and you win for what you care about most!

We Both Win!!

I win.
Edit: HA! Just kidding. Ryner wins.

I'd upload mine, but I live in the same house as Pinhead. Heck, he probably used my computer when he made that post.

Riotsword · 07-16-2010, 09:45 PM

A) I live in Ohio, and even I don't know where the hell Radnor is.
B) I'm below average even for my area. Lame.
C) Since my connection is wireless, is that affecting my overall performance?

Yep. Wouldn't have used the other computer because now the screen is blue and it makes me think I'm on drugs.

Consistent.

I seem to be well below average for the ISP. But I run it through a splitter so I can also have TV, and that's probably part of it. In general my ISP sucks though. Their TV does fine (though every couple years they seem to rip out a channel from it without adding new ones; heck, I used to get Encore for free at the beginning, now not only is that gone but they took out G4 a few years ago and MTV 2 last year, not that I miss that one any. Even lost one of the religious channels, for whatever reason), but the Internet has issues often. I like that they have good customer service, I just wish I didn't have to use it so frequently.

I couldn't find a closer server.

Sejon · 07-19-2010, 12:42 PM

My closest server is 250 miles away.

John Mora · 07-19-2010, 02:45 PM

So far away in such a small country.

Mcardy · 07-19-2010, 04:29 PM

Yay work internet. Too bad all the Special Olympics people here this week are slowing it down.

Sejon · 08-02-2010, 03:27 PM

Visiting my friends in Maryland for a couple of weeks before I ship off to the UK, so I thought I'd test the speed here too.

So that's almost 114 times faster than the connection in Belize. Yea, thought I noticed a difference.

Sejon · 08-16-2010, 08:45 AM

Aw, Bristol's not quite up to par. But I'm content.

Gros Minou · 08-16-2010, 06:47 PM

Not so fast . But , It's not a 56k Modem ....
