Just got my cable modem.

Hey, like the topic says I just got my beautiful cable modem. I was just wondering what kind of download speeds any of you with cable get. To guage it against mine, please go to www.bmwfilms.com and just download one of the season 1 films. (you don't even need to finsish it, I would just like to know what you guys are running at.)

go there to test your bandwidth...i dont know how accurate it is, but at least its a start.

I'd suggest going to DSL Reports (http://www.dslreports.com/tools) as I've found they've been pretty good for reporting speed, and they have 2 or 3 servers to test from too. I've got 1024+/256+ DSL and average 1200/211 according to DSLReports.


Heres what I got on the BMW Films:

Season 1, Ambush

Enhanced version 128mg PC Download - average 20kb/sec
Media Player 62 meg PC Download - average 20kb/sec

20kb/sec seemed to be average and thats on a 1meg down/256k up DSL

From DSL Reports I am getting....

Your download speed : 1353567 bps, or 1353 kbps.
A 165.2 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 286944 bps, or 286 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Looks like a slow night... ;)

your
download «1228 kbps

your
upload «949 kbps

not too bad considering my isps system is ravaged by portscan scripts and email worms.

I was mainly wanting you to d/l from bmw because places like dslreports are done with unrealistic server conditions, giving pretty optipistic readings.

I was getting roughly 350-400 KB/sec (killoBYTES), so I was wondering how that compared to other cable users.

You don't want to know<g>.

Mine was a good 1-2 MB faster than the scale :D :D :D

I just got 1534kps download from cnet's website.

When I download the updates from Microsoft, the speed is unbelievable.

In the "real world" downloading from counter-strike sites, for example, I NEVER see a rate higher than 300kbs. Usually its in the 150-250kps range.

From bmwfilms.com I got 50kps. It all depends on where the server is located and how they are setup bandwidth wise. If you dont believe me check out a game like counterstrike, where its rare to find a westcoast server with pings under 150ms, where any decent eastcoast server will be well under 100ms (im in ohio)

Okay, thanks alot...seems like I am on track. I have noticed that from most places I get in the 200-250 area. I guess the bmw servers are just kind to me.
