How fast is your internet connection?

[la dee da]

My ping is 200.....is that really bad or what?

Ummmm nope, not compared to mine...and I play a fast paced game so it does affect me

Tried 3 times and the results are:
Ping; 906, 850, 843
Download; .52 .51 .38
Upload; .17 .12 .11
The third one I loaded a page while the test was being taken, to see if the numbers would be different...YUP!

Is this fast? This is the first time I've had cable

.....My family dreams of the day our internet is that fast...Heck We'd be happy with just unlimited bandwith!

*copied from my earlier edited post* Those in my postition may find this helpful, I know my family has!
http://www.hageltech.com/dumeter/about We had a free version for a while to test it out, but dad later bought a better version for all of our computers. It's fantastic and really helpful for watching your bandwith usage.

EDITED: My download is sometimes up to 1.2Mbps, I know because sometimes when a video or huge pictures are loading that's what the DU meter says. My internet is very unpredicable when it's going to be snail pace or fast (to me, slow to most of you). Today, it's really fast..which makes the results all the more pitiful

Wow, lag must kill you....​

Yes and no, you get used to it after a while...Just learn what you can and can't do, and do the complicated stuff on the faster days. I've never known better, so I guess that helps.

What are you playing? I know Americas Army got unplayable at 200.

Just a game that's really easy on the bandwith usage so I can play it for many hours. I can do most anything in it except compete against faster computers and boss monsters.

One day we hope to get either cable or DSL. Satellite is very slow and not at all reliable. As you can see, we're slower than 89% of the US!!

Other than your high ping you have the speed of DSL.​
