That is interesting. Thanks for posting it.

Here is another site - Bandwidth and speed tester.
Don't know if it will work on other systems, let me know.
Click here to find out.

Edit: we are talking bits per second

Thanks, Carson, for posting the Bandwidth Tester site. That was helpful, and I will be testing my speeds at different locations and at different times of the day. I notice at campgrounds with WiFi that the speeds seem to slow quite a bit during the evening hours when many folks are online. This site will help to verify it.
Right now in my office I am running at 16Mb/s on cable, and off cable on my WiFi I ran 13Mb/s. Not bad for a Sunday at 3:30 PM

Carson, I'm running DSL via cable or WLAN. Maximum was 14.500 kbit/s

Hi Sunshein,
Glad it works for you. One question: your 16Mb/s, is that as shown on the thermometer?
Thats top rung stuff.
I am on cable as well and read about 700 Kb/s. However, I am on an old machine with a 450Mhz processor. Guess that is the reason, can you confirm that?
I am happy with my speed, compared to being on modem for years. I remember starting out with a 2400 baud modem. How did we do That?

Guten Tag, Mike
Does your "14.500 kbit/s" translate into 14.5 Mbits, or is that 14.5 kbits/
Big difference.

Carson, yes, that's at the top of the thermometer. ;D I'm on a 1.67 Mhz Powerbook.

Carson, that is the bad difference between "," and "."
When we here in Germany write "14.500 kbit/s" we mean "14,500 kbit/s". Or 14160156 bit/s.
When we write "2,50 Dollar" we mean "2.50 Dollar"

Mike, you may be missing the difference between Mbit/s and kbit/s (MegaBits and Kilobits) rather than the difference between a period and a comma.
There are a 1000 Kilobits in 1 Megabit. The progression is - bit, kilobit, megabit, gigabit, terabit, petabit, exabit, zettabit, and yottabit (bit x 10 to the 24 power).

Thanks Mike, maybe that's why there is a trade deficit .

Sunshein,
had in mind there are 1024 bit in a kilobit and 1024 kilobit in a megabit - so I came to the mysterious 14160156 bit/s. But 1000 or 1024 as a factor: the internet is fast enough for me.
Squeezing my brain I only made up to the the "tera" of your list. The rest I've never heard. Would have to look in a book. My education was some decades ago. ;D
But I remember the other end of the scale: milli, micro, nano pico, femto, atto - that's all I know.
Carson,
shall we tell the politicians about that detail of economy? ;D

Almost certainly not the problem. Compared to operating speeds for the PC, the fastest network data feed can barely make the processor break a sweat. You could easily handle 1Gb/s speeds and in fact, I run some older Compaq servers with slower processors than yours that have 4 NICs, 3 at 100Mbps and 1 at a Gbps.
We do backups over the high speed fiber so when the server is backing up, the fast NIC is running close to full speed and the processors are basically idling.
