Re: OOL FTP speed test is BULLSHIT
That under 1 minute on the command prompt test is about the best I've seen. This forum is for people with problems. What's yours?

| First, please relax and watch your language.
No one ever said everyone had to get the same speeds.
Forget about fabricated speed tests.
There are 2 tests that really matter in figuring out if you have a problem.
1 - The OOL Ftp test. That tests your connection without factoring in the "internet" in any way.
2 - Any large file from a fast FTP server outside of OOL - This does factor in OOL's backbone connection.
I suggest this file:
»ftp://ftp.aol.com/clients/aol80/comp01.000
If you get speeds over 700KB or so, then there's NOTHING at all to complain or worry about. That's the speed you are capable of getting. Why you score lower on some sort of java speed test, who really cares.
Let us know what you average for the above file. |

| The download speed for the AOL test is between 380-420. It started out at 700kb like the majority of other downloads than slowed down to the speeds above. You see I'm not crazy!
I have the modem plugged in directly into my NIC.
