Since when has 2.8 Mb/s been a terrible speed?
|
Your upload speed is about 6 times that of mine. Your upload speed is almost 2x T1 speed.
You suck :( | |
 And you think you're slow? I'm running DSL, what kind of mythical, godly internet connection do you have? | |
Since this is clearly a penis measuring contest, I'd like to up the ante:

But you cheated, your school probably gets Canadian internet, which doesn't count in this penis measurement contest.

Aha, My Comcast Cable > Your Comcast Cable  If you buy a bundle from Comcast (e.g. add on digital voice or digital cable) I think they bump up your speeds. What you have is good though, compared to most. What are you trying to do that your upload speed is insufficient? | |

What are all you people complaining about?

easy - go out and buy a non-asynchronous internet connection. cable and ADSL lines typically have much faster download speeds than uploads speeds because the typical end user (home and business) downloads more than uploads
usually only servers (shell or web or database or the like) are connected to a branch of the backbone of the internet that gives them the same upload/download speeds. | |
Mine download speed is twice lower, and upload speed twice higher than yours. But people never experienced lag when I hosted game with 30-40 people online
| |
Download speed and upload speeds are limited by your ISP and target's ISP. So there is no way to speed it up except getting faster connection or finding target who's connection faster than yours

 I receive a standard DSL 3.0 speed (3000 down 300 up) You can increase your speed by doing many things. As mentioned many times you may upgrade your connection in general to offer higher bandwidth. If you are a programmer you can streamline your data packets to offer a higher performance. Sometimes it is a simple matter of choosing better protocols to do the job you want. Increasing speed has no simple answer but rather a wide range of solutions you might try. Audio and Video plague our internet in todays day and age. Protocols such as P2P (torrenting) can stomp a pretty good chunk of TCP connections in a home router therefore exhausting the resources and denying new connections to your LAN users. Even visiting websites show quite a few connections. This very forum post contains a link to my speed result which is yet another connection. Play around with wireshark and you'll quickly discover who/what is taking most of your bandwidth. But the bottom line to your question was already answered. You can get better speed by upgrading with your ISP. On my LAN from one machine to another I can download at 5.xMB/s using CAT15 (RJ45) cables. My internet on the other hand is much slower. If you need any more information feel free to reply back to me and I'll do my best to answer. Networking is one of my stronger points. Sincerely, Anthony | |
You can not speed up the internet connection itself no... but you can use certain techniques such as compression to see an increased speed result.

Compression works great for BMP image files and text files. On all other stuff it's not very effective.
However if your download speed doesn't reach it's max (because target throttle it) you can use download manager to speed it up. | |
Yes download manager offers some unique features which make downloading nice. One of the features I enjoy is it's ability to continue from partial downloads. This feature of course is limited to the server's ability to provide it. The apache web server provides continuing a download from a certain point in the download stream.
When I referred to compression it was not for the data in general being transferred but literally there are compression protocols to scrunch packets down before sending. The receiver would have to have the ability to re-expand the compressed packets for this to work. Some files such as jpg and gif offer excellent compression and smaller sizes giving better transfer speeds. When combining protocols you can see the best results. There is information all around the internet which can verify everything I have said thus far. If you take a look at some games such as Kaneva you will observe some of the methods they use to help reduce bandwidth costs for themselves. But you are correct. BMP (bitmap) files offer a decent smaller size. When it comes to images, using programs such as the gimp, you can also index images (if the particular type supports it) and exclude things such as file comments and creation time data to shave off more size.
