Would it be possible for anyone that already has MyWireless 128/256/512 esp. 128 to provide us with some test results. The specifics of the 'test' are below.
Considering that ping times only depend on a very small packet of data being transmitted, it would largely be better doing a full blown data test to see just how much you can get out of a certain package.
I suggest using BitTorrent. The links etc are below:
About BitTorrent:
http://dessent.net/btfaq
Use this client:
http://home.elp.rr.com/tur/BitTorrent-experimental-S-5.8.10-w32install.exe
Get .torrents here:
http://www.suprnova.org
Now, the conditions. Please use maximum bandwidth ie. Set it to T1 or something. Also get a .torrent file that is well seeded, ie. more than 10 sources (green number on SuprNova) and is it least say, 100MB
The point is to calculate the following:
- peak K/sec (upload and download)
- average K/sec (upload and download)
- MB/hour (up/down)
- please if possible, say "I get 275MB in 5h25m" if possible
- please indicate 128/256 or 512
- please indicate your signal strength
BitTorrent is known to be bursty so you will not get 15K throughout but it is a good indicator of average peak performance. To test the absolute maximum throughput, use Flashget to download a biggish file.
The point is to see whether or not the wireless system can sustain high speeds and is not merely 'peaking' to 15K (128) while averaging 6K for example.
The point is to provide valuable feedback that you only get from users. The wont come and test the system or demonstrate it for you now will they?
Anyways.. thanks for the effort, hopefully we can get some valuable feedback.
When I get mywireless whenever that may be, I will definitely post my results.
