New speed test checker

My system shits the bed on the latency test and closes IE. Yay! No where near Ben's numbers for DL and UL speeds. Damn, that is sweet!

My dl and ul #'s are scared of ben's. But my latency and jitter are lower

I'm using cablevision now. It's a big improvement from my DSL line. I think the max I was getting with DSL was like 6000 kbps. My ping, at that time, fluctuated between 50-90 on the crypt server. Now it fluctuates betqween 33-60 and even hits single digits if there are only a few people in the game. Makes for sniping people out of the icarus much easier

No idea why it's so high. My jitter was 2ms with the pingtest.net test. I don't think my packet loss in QW is too bad though. I'll take a pic of my lagometer once I can get online. Right now I can't login... keep getting an error message that says "connection reset" after I type my password in

That's strange.

Same as you guys. My Latency is on par but my DL and UL are in the toilet (comparably). I'm going to start using these numbers as an excuse for my meager skills and for why Mr. Ben headshots me with the sniper rifle so easily

My internet has gone to shit recently.

Do you live in an apartment complex or something similar? I had a similar problem when I had some one move into my building that used more bandwidth than the previous occupant and that negatively effected my connection speeds since typically in those types of buildings they split them off of a mainline rather than each having their own stand alone connection.

Yeah, I live in an apartment complex in New York City. I think there is one main cable line on my side of the building. I'm not sure if there is a separate one on the other side or if it is just one massive cable.

The speed does tend to be a lot faster during the nighttime (past 12am) so I guess there are less people using the bandwidth in those hours. I actually retested it now (3 hours later) and got 10,000kbps. Too bad my jitter is still 2-3x higher than my latency. ugh.

i got:
DL: 33167
UL: 3633
Latency: 63
Jitter: 69

those numbers are way better than i got last time i tested my connection somewhere.
although i don't understand why i still suck in one-on-one combat in ETQW
i need aiming tutorials i suppose.

Yeah, than that is probably your problem. More people using bandwidth than have in the past. The unfortunate thing about that is there isn't really shit you can do about it.
