Here's another permutation....

Using Firefox..


Using IE...


IE may be more prone to virui than Firefox..........but most of the internet is still programmed to work with it. And faster too.

BTW, I repeated the tests 3 times. IE won every time.

An update from IE....

I almost doubled my previous speed and I still can't beat Demo. Alas! How can I live with such a slow connection?

Best of about 8 tests over the last week. Usually around 75mb.

Surprisingly when I did a test on a different pc using the same internet conn the download was only 24mb, but the upload was 11mb.

I use Hanaro Telecom:

Old service I got 6151 kb/s download and 650 kb/s upload.

Guy came and put a new cable modem in, now:

22613 kb/s download and 12365 kb/s upload.

Pretty impressive what one modem can do.

Actually, it's about the size of the tubes.

? I thought it was because they had fibre outside.

They initially were going to do 100Mbit wiring, but guess they figured it was easier just to put a 80Mbit modem on....

Nope...the internet a series of tubes. Big tubes mean more stuff can go through.
