Hi I was wondering what everyones upload speed is because I think mine is really low at 0.38 but I don't know and I am thinking about changing my internet provider.

Mine was 0.49 and my computer seems to be relatively quick.

How old is your computer? It might be the computers fault and not the internet provider.

Run virus scans, delete your cookies, check how much hard disk space left and RAM you have. If you computer is slow for other programs, it might not be an internet problem.

I don't know why you'd want a high upload speed unless you're uploading something gigantic.

Download speed is where it's at.

I have quite a new compoter though.

People who want a high upload speed usually make videos on websites etc Youtube.

My computer is a month or so old. And I make youtube videos that is why I want a high upload speed and the videos range from 100mb to 1.5gb that I upload so it can take me hours to upload but when I have spoke to some people they say it takes them an hour to upload a 1gb video and I was wondering whether it is just my internet or just there is alot better.

It doesn't really matter about your pc majorly its more your internet

You know, upload speed shouldn't really be hindered by your hardware.. unless you're running an ancient fossil.

I wouldn't expect high upload speeds for most people. Heck, even an upload speed of a few megabits is quite a bit, let alone an upload speed that rivals download speed.

My upload speed is 4.06 and I'm using a 3 year old laptop. The computer doesn't have much to do with your internet.

Download speed was 20.37 btw.

Download: 2.89 Mb/s
Upload speed: .72 Mb/s
Ping: 38 ms

Seems a little suckish to me. I want it to be faster, but this way is okay. I'm somewhat satisfied.

Well, get ready to get stunned. Faster than Dair's Download and Ping, but... slow...

Download Speed: 4.54 Mb per sec.
Upload: 0.44 Mb per sec.

In a +3 year old Desktop with an intel Pentium Dual-Core processor and 0.5 GB of RAM, if that info fits.

Ah, and a lousy video card.
