Log in to speedtest.net or any other reliable speed testing site, and post your results here.

I have cable Internet through Time-Warner. From where it comes into the house down in my basement, I have a few AirPort base stations and a Time Capsule on the network, to the second floor of my house where my computer sits.

Here's what I got a few minutes ago:

I'm pretty happy with that. I can download reasonably large files fairly quickly, and uploads work pretty well too. I have three or four computers backing up via CrashPlan too, so upload speed is somewhat important too.

The test station was across Lake Erie in Ontario.

Depends on your connection speed, the size (quality) of the video and what speed the server you download from can deliver. On a 50 Mb down line, you can divide by 8 to get your download speed i

Verizon Fios in Northern, VA.  Very happy with the service here. I got same results as @dsc123 above pretty much. Same 35/35 on the phone. No surprise, since we're the same service in the same

Not good:   I put in an order for StarLink in Feb this year but still says scheduled for "Late 2021" for my area.

Last place thus far but my wireless router is pretty lame. I will plug in my network cable and give it another shot.

EDIT: tried the network cable and still the same result. Didn't realize I lived in a third world country.

I voted acceptable. I live out in the desert with the nearest provider some 30+ miles a way via phone land line

Ping--29 ms, DL--6.30 Mbps, and UL--0.76 Mbps

Yeah it's slow, but adequate. I tried DISH satellite service for a while, but it was not worth the price. It was not consistent enough. I pay $30 a month for this service which also includes my regular phone bill.  It runs my ROKU, and Magic Jack set ups easily.

I'm at work. It actually seems lower than it ought to be. I think the bottleneck is somewhere else down the line.

Well, I do work for the government. We are also a member of the Internet2 consortium, so we have 10 gigabit connections to other members (research universities, government research labs and industry sites).

Just... wow...

Go around the world, in Europe and Asia, Africa, comparatively, our residential broadband speeds are pretty bad. Most of the world pay less and get faster speeds than we do.Thanks AT&T;, Verizon, etc...

This is a good read:

I pay for 50/10, so it seems fair. I can upgrade to 100/10, but don't have the need for it.

Spoiler Alert: The server is in his basement. lol

I pay for 15, and live in the sticks with a relatively "small" cable company...I'm happy with it. Much better than TWC service I used to have...they're the devil.

Maybe something weird happened. I redid the test and checked with pingtest, all gave me 10ms.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.

      He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By Ty_Webb ·

      At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.
