Mississippi, USA

56k

a bit slow, but not bad.

Of course, this is not different to me than any other time. ;)

Germany
broad-band 756k
very fast. I click on a link or on a topic and in the next second I am there.

New York, United States of America.

Cable (200k..i think)

About the same as any other large site.

Denmark
ADSL 256/256K

it varies a bit... but it is between "Very Fast" & "About the same as any other large site" mostly the last one... but sometimes also ultrafast... :)

1 mbit line at home, a little faster at work. The site is very fast most of the time. I'm in Finland...

New York, USA
Cable(Same as Hybrids) (but i think its faster than that...)

It loads very fast for me. The forum with pics in threads and the site itself.

Cable 1.5mb

AZ, USA.

under 1 sec for anything !
faster than other large sights !

guess its pretty good kevin. No "need" for improbvement. but its always welcome:)

This is all down to me Im afraid guys... I am on cable but keep getting time outs... bith at work and at home and the site is becomming hard for me to work on..

as where dave just up the road has good speeds most of the time..

must be something to do with my system or setups

well im on a 56k, in Faringdon (UK) and the site is ok, but sometimes i get extreme slowdown to a timeout on the forums
its only the forums that cause a problem

Ohio, USA
Fixxed Wireless 1.8 Mbs
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow

im always fast.. im lucky:). I do get slowdowns pretty bad on simplylightwave though..

Haven´t gotten any slowdown yet.
Site´s speed is good.

<<About the same as any other large site.>>

Bournemouth , UK

Greased lightning at uni (dont know the bandwidth but it's pretty immense)

At home the pics can be a little slow but generally the forums aint too bad, I never get timeouts or anything like that.

< Fast >

56k dial-up

near Melbourne, in Australia

Speed's great compared to other sites. The movie downloads are also pretty fast.... but would be faster for me if you allowed multipart downloads.

Hi Kevin,

I don't know which OS or connection you use... but if you use XP and have upgraded with this patch from april the 16. then that might be the problem... info about the patch here

a lot have complained about this patch made their system slow and other things... Microsoft are working on a better patch as far as I have understood... I read it in an article fron af danish IT news thing... :)

you can also test you connection here to see if you can get some usefull info about it... "Internet Connection Center"... -->

cheers strarup - very nice of you mate

RAGE - Cable Modem (650-somthing K)

Minnesota, US

SM be SOOOPA-fast!

Norway (Europe)
1024/512k ADSL

I find this site to be very fast, but I beleive it's due to the geographic location, just as much as my connection speed.

When I'm on this site, most of you people are at work, or doing something other than browsing this site or other sites on the server it runs from...

When I drop by in the morning or about lunch.. It's a bit slow, cause then all you US ppl just finished dinner, and are sitting in front of your computers and making the entire internet go slooow.

Dallas, TX

768k DSL, loads with almost no lag

Pittsburgh PA at the moment (i travel alot)
DSL 1.5 Meg

Cable modem...NYC...currently running 877 kpbs down / 136 kpbs up. SM pages load almost instantaneous....so supah speedy, here (most of the time, anyway).

Holland, ADSL 756kbit...

Sometimes a bit slower that other times... but that has to do with the server load :) (the number of concurrent visitors)

Re: SLOW ZZZZZZZ
 

LOL - rossland i told you that you cant download at good speeds when the company you are in share a 56k dial up between 6 computers :)

For starters whats wrong with 56k?
And secondly there are 12 computers running off
the one line not 6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just thought dave might appreciate some help by
someone clever like me, so you want some advice dave?
