I hate my slow 12+MBps Download speed

I miss my 100mb pipe at home

 

[AK]

Bits or bytes? WTF.

Whatever this is!

f**k IT.

 

[Munson]

That's a 6.96Mb connection. As I suspected.

My UK connection maxes out over 100

 

[AK]

Cool.

Well London is 1.20Mb.

 

[Munson]

FFS. You're getting around 7Mb.

 

[AK]

What?!?

 

[Munson]

Your connection speed according that test is 7 Megabits per second. Which equates to around 0.9 Megabytes per second.

 

[sbridgey]

That will be his 3G connection or work Wifi I suspect.

 

[AK]

No. It's my mums house.

 

[Munson]

One more time. For the purposes of internet speed tests, there are 8 bits per byte. So you divide your advertised speed (in bits) by eight, to arrive at your more normally expressed download speed in bytes.

AK, your connection is around 8 MegaBITS per second. Not great, but hardly super slow.

 

[AK]

Cool. My London one is 1 megaBIT per second. Lol.

 

[Munson]

NO.

 

[Feirny]

Roy, the mong is currently in Scotland, not London. He's being a t**t on purpose.

 

[AK]

Oh, sorry, yeah.

The pic above is Scotland (my mums, like I said).

A speed test in London brings up 1.20 in the download speed section.

speed tests are crap over wifi anyway, i get something around 6mb/s when i do a speed test, but download from a newsgroup i get 20mb/s consistently.

plug my laptop into the router with a wire (i know, they actually still exist!) and i get the 20mb/s, move back to wifi, laptop next to the router and its s**t again.

i only found out today that wifi is half duplex, get that, never knew.

 

[Ronnie R]

Lol at Roy explaining Mbps.

 

[eugegall]

Glad I can edit the font in Notes. Standard one is awful

 

[Ray Gin]

Edit - sorted.

 

[Ray Gin]

Just started the download, 20 hours left.

Has anyone been able to get the Power Nap function working with their NAS drives?

Everytime I put my Retina MBP into sleep mode it stops the back-up!

 

[jenic]

I don;t use that feature but I do have an issue with networked drives. When I drag a file to my NAS in finder it copies over but doesn't come up with the progress box which shows time remaining etc, instead it just locks up finder until the transfer is complete, which with my POS cheapo NAS is a bloody long time!

I'm running lion on the iMac and that is working fine.
