Indeed, as a non-USian, this would seem to be somewhat unfavourable.

Try speedtest.net for a global one.

12983 kbps
4729 kbps

Though this is from a university network, it would be less from my house.

3055kbps Download Speed
100kbps Upload Speed

Considering that this would be effected by the speed of the Trans Pacific Cable (I am in New Zealand and choose the Los Angeles Server), and the fact that internet speeds in this part of the world are crap, I think it is not too bad.

Also, my upload speed is actually limited to 128kbps on my agreement with my ISP, so that explains the slow upload speed.

Using Speedtest, I got the following

492.9kB/s Download Speed (nearly 4mbps, although that was still climbing)
11.5kB/s Upload Speed (about 90kbps, although it had dropped)

It should be pointed out that the Amerikaners had teh Intarweb for some years while we were still relying on magazines for our porno...hence their speeds are 'the shit' while many European ones are just shit.


Theres loads of stats here....

1473kbps downstream from a NY server

250kbps upstream ditto



speedtest.net with a more local Derby server puts me at 4202kbps down and 264kbps up.


its fast enough for me :)

4018 down from Chicago, 586 up.

Mind you, when I test this again at around 3 or 4 in the morning, it'll be considerably faster. I've seen these rates double or more once network traffic at the university slows.

Mine was pretty close to what my ISP claims. Up was about 100kb/s low, and down was actually higher.

I am betting I am hitting their cap because I know right now we have about 20 mbps free in both directions

odd - the test server was in Shenzhen, which is just over the border from here. Wonder why they'd be using a PRC server and not an HK one?

when I tried the Phillipines one, I got this:

Depends (on distance to server and how much movies my colleagues are downloading :) )

Speedtest.net says:
with server in my country:
Download: 12075 kb
Upload: 7979 kb

With translantic server (let's say to Calgary, Canada across half world)

Download: 357 kb
Upload: 428 kb

So yeah, it depends.

D/L - 8153
U/L - 808

These results are from the link Zilam gave. Considering I'm using a Canadian ISP provider, I'd say this is pretty good.

we in the UK have it particularly bad, i think. privatisation of BT = a stupid monopoly through which all ISPs have to work.


it makes sense to have a natural monopoly to own the shared physical lines, but when it has private interests (ie keeping its shareholders happy) it maintains the status quo for profits

the one and only time i tried online gaming was with Battlefield 2. i kept getting kicked out of games for having too high ping/lag :(

on the xbox360 (with Gold) it was ok but still not great

For an FPS, any ping over 100 is too high. If you're not a low ping bastard you're an easy kill.
