ALL servers limit the speed you can use with them. For most the most part its is usually 3mbits. Free downloading services usually offer up to 10mbits. Paid downloading servers can give you about 25mbits. You gotta share with other internet users you know :) You will NEVER see your full 100 mbps unless you operate your own private server with its own private connection.

I've been testing on Speedtest tonight - the best download was 51,745 Kbps and an average upload of only 7367 Kbps. Telco companies the world over are full of it!

Also ping times vary from minute to minute and time of day will also show wildly different test results. Cable companies here in Japan have just started pushing 160 megabit speeds and vdsl to house is now being rolled out at 1gigabit with 2 and three gigabit set to go within three years. Japan internet as is most of asia is based on an all you can eat plan... ie flat fee for a given speed. With speed test net you should always run multiple tests at different times of the day.

And yeah, I can't believe I pay the same in Japan as I did in the U.S. but I get fiber here. <i>Tim</i> - I think it's megabytes. And they call 512kbps broadband in the U.S. (doh!). I have family members that use 56k dialup still. liz - Good luck with your move!

They usually say megabits, to make it sound faster. But I wouldn't be complaining - if you want slow, come to Australia - they still call 256kbps "broadband" here. I have ADSL2 at about 20000kbps, with 800kbps uploads, and that's pretty much the fastest we can get. So much for a developed country. Hmm, did your ISP say megaBITS or megaBYTES per second?

I pay a LOT for what i get, and i have much faster than the average in the US which is only about 2,000 kb/s. You get it for a fraction of what i pay, and faster ;) <img src="http://speedtest.net/result/244998843.png"> I am here in the United States, and just wanted to say I envy the internet in Japan.

My wireless connection shows 10,000 kb/s down, 4,000 kb/s up and I'm right next to the 54G wireless router. From what I read a year ago, online... at some random website... which I can't remember... I think wireless routers limit the internet speed because of how the device works. I've had about 4 routers in the last year and the results were always the same on speed tests.

My server is also Yokohama (distance ~250 mi), my ISP is also NTT and my download is about 21,946 kb/s but my upload is a sluggish 5,835 kb/s. Maybe my upload speed is affected because I'm on wireless (computer upstairs, wireless thingy downstairs!). :shrug: Interesting.
