Internet Connection Speed Test
« on: March 27, 2008, 08:13 PM »

I would like to upgrade my internet connection to broadband however am wary of all the false bandwidth claims by the various ISPs as such I would really appreciate  if you can run the following connection test on your system and post the result. The test can be carried out as follows (NOTE: this is the recommended test on Direct On PCs web page):

  1. site http://performance.toast.net/
  2. Select Text as type
  3. Select Xenial Technology  as webhost
  4. Click Run Test

Running the test 3 times I had the following results 70k & 67k & 63k

I use Starcomms Dial-up in Port-Harcourt.

The test may be of interest to people living in other towns so please do run and post even if you ain't living in PH. Thanks

I am currently thinking of upgrading to BroadBand but am wary of all the false bandwidth claims by the different ISPs and would prefer a real life test by users
