In my house it's been at 4mb/s for as long as I can remember. The little upgrade is nice, however Gamespot moves just as slowly as always regardless of the upgrade.

It might be because we run off a wireless router, and my computer is connected using a wireless adapter.

Usually having wireless tends to be slower than being directly wired. There's gotta be some other explanation.. I'm interested since I've never seen someone have a faster upload than download speed.

The servers here are just way too slow. In that website ranking site (forgot the name) Gamespot's speed was defined as very slow.

I'm surprised they haven't attempted to upgrade the site however. There's so many bigger websites out there which are much faster.

It may, however they already spend money on many wasteful things. The whole GS fuse probably wasted a ton of money which wasn't necessary. They should consider upgrading their servers since they get so much traffic

Works for what I use it for. Downloads fast enough and provides a decent connection (most of the time). Not a huge fan of my internet provider though.

The DL speed being low is because my computer uses a wireless adapter to let it connect to the internet.

No idea how the UP is so good. But I enjoy that.

Sometimes I get into the 30s for DL like recently. But UP is normally 5 something.

Forgot what I had for wireless.

Lower is better, TRUST ME!!!

If you're playing an online game with low ping things run smoothly, but higher is worse as you won't be able to play it properly with lag.

This explains it best.

Yep, it always depends on the connection though. The closer you are to a designated area the faster you can connect which causes a lower ping while further ones have higher.

You want below 100, anything after that will cause problems. I think up to 150 may be safe but isn't recommended, and over 200 is laughable.

We don't have that. We have a local plant (which happens to be a monopoly here :x) that provides all internet, electricity, utilities, etc. Worse part is the service is awful but it's the only thing available here.
