just took the test here are the results, don't know how fast this is (i don't understand anyof it)
Your raw speed was 262926.26 bits per second which is the same as:
Communications
262.9 kilobits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet
Storage
32.1 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how file sharing and FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.
1MB file download
31.9 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.

I remember many years ago using BBS's and a 1200 baud modem, getting that 2400 baud modem was some hot stuff!
At work I have an OC3.

DSL, we used to have several dial-up lines and ISP accounts.
This summer, I switched everything over to a cool two-way business-class
satellite internet system. It's suppose to be 384k down & 64k up. In practice,
the downloads go anywhere from 150k to 1000k, while the uploads are always
slow; 24 - 32k.
While not screaming fast, everything is relative, and this is the best choice
for rural access.
I'm a computer guy, but am still amazed that as I type this message, it is being
transmitted from my home, 22,000 miles up to the geo-stationary statellite
"SatMex5", and then 22,000 miles back down to the Hughes Network Operations
Center, and on across the internet!

An hour later it's up to 12.4K
Next morning after all the kiddies go to school it's up to 40.7K The speed all depends on the load on the dial up server.

Have you ever posted on the board while "dropping the kids off at the pool"?
I have.
(Probably way too much information for most of you.)
Very cool! A guy trying to drum up business at my company gave me a free cell modem and wireless service. It was a few years ago and the fastest I could get was about 10K/second. The lag time was so slow, I just gave up. As new wireless WAN networks are installed at faster speeds (~100K), it will begin to get realistic. Hopefully by the time my little girl can swim, I'll be there...

Actually, let me rephrase my original quote:
Instead of "dropping the kids off at the pool" you can substitute any of the following:
"taking the Browns to the Super Bowl."
"laying some cable."
"bombing the Russians."
etc.
Although, yes, I do agree with your cellular modem bit...it is painfully slow.

I'm not sure how to check the speed without signing off and then signing back on again. Nevertheless, I'm probably the slowest one here.

About 30mph if the wind is my back and I don't run into a traffic jam.
which my isp only seems to be giving me 28-36K connects.Despite all the hyped-up local radio ads,this service I have is not at all as advertised.
I probably need to research a patch on the net to boost my connection?Is there such a thing?
