Fastest Speednet results.

[McGuywer]

Had a look around to find the fastest speedtest result I can get.
Got this:
20.99Mb/s
89.60Mb/s
118.82Mb/s
275.15Mb/s
402.46Mb/s

I was wondering from the last result, so went to speedtest and found this:

Why are my test results outrageously fast?
This is usually the result of something installed on your computer that is intercepting traffic between your web browser and the server. Examples of this would be security software from ZoneAlarm, McAfee or Symantec. Try momentarily disabling the software to see if it is the source of the problem. Make sure you don't leave it disabled! Any software firewall should work with Speedtest.net if configured properly.

But still. That is very fast. Some users on the internet expressed their concerns that the speedtest servers could not handle very high speeds. But at 402Mb/s, it's pretty high.

this is about what it should be more or less, (2,5 to 3,5Mbps) but yesterday , at home, i got 16,5 Mbps connecting to the midrand node. the other nodes show normal speeds. i don't know what this means. if it was the antivirus or firewall, all nodes should have been affected don't you think?

Thanx for the feedback but I actually meant over the whole internet.
What is the fastest that you have seen?

well looking at those speeds, probably corporate or universities? i am not beating myself up comparing. it's too painful.

You said it....was running .01Mb/s yesterday....even McGuywer's lowest 20Mb/s is outer space to me.....

auriga only like 10 mbit line can do 1 megabyte per sec my 4 meg max should be 430 kb

Just to clarify, these are not my lines... I wanted to get the highest speedtest result on the web.

This is what I have found.

Since the start of this month speedtest.net has become extremely unreliable in South Africa, since every single noob that just got ADSL uncapped is trying to test his speed using speedtest.net.

When I had 600Mbps Seacom bandwidth at my disposal, I never got more than 25Mbps from speedtest.net servers in South Africa. At the beginning of this month, while I was at a MikroTik training course, the instructor showed us that his connection can easily get 50Mbps from speedtest.net in CapeTown
I've also seen speedtest.net results from people at Stellenbosch University that got close to 100Mbps, which could be correct since they have at least 125Mbps Internet connectivity and some people at the University residences have 100Mbps LAN connections.

The fastest I got for a download was 28MB/s from an OpenSuse mirror in Italy with that 600Mbps Seacom pipe. I'm pretty sure people in Japan could show you speedtest.net results with speeds higher than 400Mbps, since KDDI rolled out 1Gbps Internet connections to homes!!!
The other problem that I had with speedtest.net, was that the file size that it used was too small for such a fast connection, resulting in faulty stats.

at varsity i got a download speed of 3.2MBps downloading a 200MB file. thats why i download all my anime at campus. on average a 80MB file takes about 2 mins
