Well i was so bored at work to day i decided to do some broadband speed tests today to just see how good it is.

I would like other people to do the same and post there results, its just interesting to do, so if you dont want to i dont mind, oh and i bet there will be a person that says or think i want to hack them or something or even that i am from jagex.

just go to www.speedtest.net and run a test to see what you get, after the test is done copy the forum link on here and we can have a look.

i was very happy with the result of my tests, i wish i get this at my house

Holy f*ck.. your employer has a nice connection there… 8Mbps down, 5Mbps up.. /me wants


& my internet isn't to good currently, max @ 180kB/s down, 45kB/s up. Going to upgrade to 3Mbps down & 768 up soon tho.

It is easy to fool those ;)


But nice! Mine is about 1kbps up, 1kbps down :D

you worked it out wrong, it aint 8mb, its actually 80mb , so that means the upload is 50mb

didnt know you could fool them, but i didnt, this is the actual speed i have here, but then again i aint surprised seeing as i work at BT.

you should see my home connection on a good day i can get 50kb/s

done this already, here's my best result :



though i just saw this on my results page… o.o :


my nets cable, 10mbs down, 128kbs up


i think it's ok for me :)

note that aussies don't have that fast internet lol, and adsl 2+ is gay.

EDIT: Just found out that it was another person with my new ip, dw :P
EDIT2: and yeah, you're work net is alright, but then again you would expect that for a good buisness. Just a note, use that net if you ever need to buy tickets for the soccer world cup. :)

lol, our school dosent block anything, I play RS with Firefox, they have blocked Java stuff in normal internet, I just dl firefox and play :D also heres my speed at home

lol, we have about 6 pcs -.- and my brother is stealing the juice cuz he wants to dl stuff from piratebay :fiery:

lol, i love piratebay.

wish most school are more relxed, but i know firefox gets pass most thing but downloads can still be blocked.

what type of connection do you have to home then?

Belgium is a telecom disaster, it's like living in the stone age, we pay huge prices for crappy connections… My ISP is the largest ISP in Belgium, we have the second best DSL package and our downloadspeed is 3.3mpbs and upload 400kpbs…

damn that sucks, i well sorry for you freddy.

thats kinda like my home connection the, except its 50kb down dont know the upload but it aint better

Well, ironically the small ISP's offer, compared to the large ones, incredible packages, well, almost close to as good as in other countries at "affordable" prices…

heres mine seen as tho you work with bt and my broadband is bt anyhelp lolz

lol, no sorry mate, wrong department, i am in research.

dont think i could do much anyways seeing as it depends how close you are to the exchange.

i must be like 10 meters from it then , lol

My long distance and short distance tests came out pretty much the same. Maybe about 50kb difference. I guess my internets just gud like dat to handle long and short distance the same :garfield: lol.

i generaly find that it works best on short distances, unless you choose like a capital city, then it also works good.

so it just depends where you choose to connect.

but so far it seems we all have good connections here, well apart from my home one, lol.

heres another test from a school pc
