Test of download speed
-
I've just upgraded my internet broadband connection to a 20 MB(ytes). Obviously not a guaranteed one. That would cost more then my salary. Up till now the fastest site seems to be, well, our beloved MS one :rolleyes: I mean it. I just downloaded Visual Studio 2010(the trial version) and it took down in about 2 mins. About 16MB per second on average. I've tested some other sites includintg IBM(Lotus blotes), Adobe, 3DS, Games demos... None of them were nearly as fast as MS. On the dowload part. Now the issuse is that I can't find anything big enough(300MB plus) in order to proper test Google. Any of you know of a big download from Google? I'm not really a fan of Google so I have no ideea if there is such a download or were it is. Thanks for the links.
All the best, Dan

What sort of connection is that? Cable / Ethernet / Fibre? what is the ISP and what are you charged per month for that?

Optic Fibre. 25 euro per month. ISP is not relevant. It's just in romania and maybe some of our eastern europe neighbors. RDS is the name.

Not much. Even for me(a romanian guy with a romanian like salary). 25 euros per month.

Monthly cap = amount of data (GB) you're allowed to download per month before they start charging you extra.
