Verizon DSL 3.0/768 deal :grinno: crap.
 
I did the test on my lap top that I use off a wireless router. How much impact would the router have if any?

Just using a router in general shouldn't make any difference, but the fact you are running wirelessly could have a little impact. This all depends on what type of wireless system you are running.



I'm using a router also, with a 4 and a 9 port switch in addition to that (I have my whole house wired for broadband), and I didn't notice any drop in performance from going from direct connect or routed and switched. Then again, I'm all wired too, no wireless.



I tried wireless but I couldn't leave the room that the router was in before losing signal, so what was the point. I just opted to spend the extra money and have the house hard wired.

I used the LA server so I probably would have seen better numbers if I had picked a server closer to me here on the East Coast.

I had the same issue with wireless. I looked at wiring the house but, went with a powerline network instead. If you consider than every room in the house has several electrical outlets it is very flexible and much cheaper than hard wiring.



I use Netgear Powerline modules. They are plug and play. We currently have 3 modules with a network of 5 computers and one networked printer in 3 different rooms. My mom lives with us and she recently bought a laptop. We added a module to her room and with a long ethernet cable she can sit on her bed, watch TV, browse foodtv.com and print her recipes to our networked printer :D

Just to see what kind of numbers I could get, I ran another test against a server in Atlanta, GA which is MUCH closer to me. Huge difference.

Actually, the servers can handle quite a bit. We have dual 100 mbps internet connections at work and the results I have gotten in the past were pretty close. Obviously, if you pick a server closer to you, you get better results.

I have *quite* a bit better than that at work. :D



Here's my home result... Verizon sucks. This is connecting to the National Science Foundation server as those CA sites that come up by default had pretty poor performance for me.

All right -- I'll bite. How fast are we talking about?? :bow



We have multi-fiber interconnects to Qwest, MCI and AT&T currently so theoretically, I could bump our connection speed up into the multi-gigabit connection range, but there never has been a need to go that high (plus cost obviously). I do have dual OC-192 connections between CA and AZ, MD and IA if that counts :2thumbs:

Well, I don't know exactly... But pretty large. I work at AOL's main headquarters. There's a datacenter right across the street. It's a pretty fat pipe.



Here's a better test result from a closer server. Note it seems my computer (probably buffers and computing power), desktop switch, and ethernet connection is the real limiter. And this is in the middle of the day with thousands of other employees using the network:

The slowest link in the end-to-end path is a 100 Mbps Full duplex Fast Ethernet subnet
