    In terms of Megabytes that is correct, but I put Mb on purpose because I was using Megabits.

    The test was done in kilobytes/s and 7243 Kilobytes = 56.58594 Megabits. I did say ~70Mb/s, I was about right.

    kilobits? ewwwwww, nvm, my internet is WAY faster than that, i pay for 25/5 (megabits) and get 30/5.95, also, that would be 7megabits, not 70 ;)

    Speedtest.net also uses bits not bytes.

    This is my school's speed at lunchtime, when everyone is on it (about 750 people, private high school):

    (imported from here)
    Notice that it is in MegaBYTES, not what you guys are using. I like to use Megabytes because I know those a little easier.
    Also, is a higher ping good?

    I just did a second test, in MegaBITS.

    Those aren't megabytes. It would be roughly 1/8th of the 2nd speed. 28MB/s is also faster than anything currently.

    Guys this is hilarious..

    1 Megabyte = 8 Megabits = 1024 Kilobytes = 8192 Kilobits = 1048576 Bytes = 8388608 Bits

    7Mb ≠ 70MB
    Nor does 70Mb equal 7MB

    7Mb/s is actually 7/8 MB/s , which is roughly 0.875MB/s

    The symbol for Megabytes is 'MB', megabits is 'Mb', Kilobytes is 'kB', kilobits is 'kb', bytes is 'B' and bits is 'b'

    When Speedtest says "Mb/s" its megaBITS, not megaBYTES. Goddamit guys.

    We get around 19-25 mb a second at my school depending where you are. Its great, you can download films and games in minutes.
    They have virgin Fibre optic especially for the school haha, the town gets none!

    Oh nevermind. I put the setting for the actual test to be megabytes. I didn't pay attention to the actual shared picture that it was in megabits. My bad.

    Edit: I have gotten a slightly better score, and I will try a few times in the morning, where I can get it when it is really fast.

    Good news!! (for me) I'll have optical fiber by this summer. 100mb and then in a few months they'll upgrade it to 200/200 mb :eek:

    Yeah, considering that its labelled as maidenhead great britain, I think something went wrong there xD

    Although BT managed to sustain 1.2 terabits per second in a recent test over a distance of 200 miles on the existing fiber network :/

    and of course, a normal automatic test(my siblings are watching CWACOM2 on vudu right now):

    I didn't do that test. I just typed in random numbers for the 10 digits. Anything under around 3200000000 should work and anything above 1000000000.

    Here are mines :

    At school, did it 10 minutes ago on wifi (1Gbps on desktop PCs) : http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3269722620

    At home (an old one, it hasn't changed since but I'll do another one) : http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3043157328
    (29.99€/mo, same price wherever you got 512 kbps or 100 Mbps (ADSL/VDSL2), 29.99€/mo for 100 Mbps/50 Mbps fiber optic with their old router, 35.99€/mo for 1 Gbps/200 Mbps with the new one)

    On my mobile, on LTE (same provider as my home DSL connection) : https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BcvzvERIcAEA7SI.png
    On 3G, it varies a lot, from 0 Mbps to 30 Mbps (0 to 15-20 on Free's network, 0 to 30 on Orange's network, it uses both)
    (paying 15.99€/mo for unlimited calls (to France, but also other countries), texts, mms, 20 GB of data (only when using a LTE phone, 3 GB when using a 2G/3G phone))

    :O, HOLY CRAP, thats extremely high speeds for mobile 4g lte, ik that lte is faster (as i have it as well, i generally get around the same speeds i get at home (i get 30/5.92)) but 90 megabits per second download is just ridiculous for mobile data

    Actually his speed is entirely normal for LTE, yours is incredibly low. 30 megabits is still firmly in HSPA+ territory, aka 3g. Standard HSPA+ runs upto 42 megabits.
