    speed

    I have been wondering. What is a " good " speed for a computer ?.

    Just checking, I have 68.3mb/s down load and 5.8 mb/s up load.

    Is that normal as to the difference and down ? or, may I have a poor service ?.

    Typically download speeds are considerably higher than upload speeds...If you're not dozing off waiting for it to finish, you're OK......Ben

    I just ran a speed test with the results below. I pay a significant premium for that speed--which is also less than it is supposed to be.

    Mine was 23.4 and 4.2 on the same test...I've never noticed what I would call "slow speeds" although mine seems sloth-like compared to you guys...But I stay off the porn sites anyway......Ben

    No problem Ben---in that realm slow speed is referred to as "delayed gratification"
