I've worked in the ISP field before. Plus I'm too much of a geek and make it my business to know this shit

Stang302: Where you located and what ISP?

- Josh

This is from my work in eden praire. I have no idea what ISP my work uses but I believe we just upgraded the fastest internet line you could get. My minds drawing a blank in what they hooked up.

My work connection speed



My Home connection

Maybe stone bridge wireless, or bonded T1's? or a fractional T3?

I'm thinking its T1 but it could be T3. Nobody sitting next to me at work can seem to remember what was instaled.

I'm no computer guru what is latecny?

Basically latency is the time it takes your connection to get a response from a server or device on the internet once that conneciton is established. The lower the latency the better it is for gaming and voice over IP calls, and video conferencing.

Also MARS: I'd call comcast, something is seriously wrong there. By default you should be getting at least 6megs (6000kbps) downloads with their basic service.

Comcast? Used to be Road Runner

I noticed a slow computer can ruin download speeds
