Hey MPH! Yes this one is just fun, but as you could read, allot of members did not know (including me) how to upload an image such as from java or to even how to take a screen image if the need ever arises. But I also realize that we all have lives to attend to. Maybe a link to a web page somewhere would be a fast way to solve MY dilemma and post that in lieu of a full document. Sometimes people don't ask because they are afraid. I guess we are accustomed to relying on you MPH to give us the answers we are seeking. I really miss the THANK YOU button at the bottom of the page we used to have.

On this particular site, there is a "COPY" button next to the code. You don't highlight it to copy, just press the COPY button and it will copy to your clipboard.

Second, the bottom most entry is something like URL. Just copy that, come to the forum, click the picture icon, go to the web image tab, and paste in the image URL and press OK. When you post, it will post just fine.

Hey Kellie! I want to Thank You for jumping in and helping all of us. I tried to copy from the speed site and i could not. Apparently Firefox has to be configured for this function to work on this site or to probably copy from the player that they use. I got a whole bunch of code they wanted me to write in order for copy to work. I like my firefox just the way it is. Will follow all of your recommendations instead. Again Thankx.

We should have a poll for all those who have broadband currently and for those who are stuck with slower services!

Way to complicated to paste and all that stuff. Got a read out of 16339 kbps download and uplink of 2699 kbps. Ping was 52 ms at around 50 miles to server in San Fran. That's with Comcast. I didn't realize it was that fast. I'm blown away.

Hi MJD. Wow. 16MBs, very impressive. I think you are winning this "pissing contest" as another poster suggested this Discussion is... LOL Sorry Kellie, your incredible stats are from your office. I would hope PCWorld would provide you with high speeds... LOL :D

Hey techy4fun! Yes by all means, you should be the one to start it. It's your idea. And at the same time we should also start posting the best numbers.

I will note that your speed is also LARGELY a function of the path to the test server. If you pick different test servers, you will get different results, in general. My download speeds varied from about 4000 kb/s to the about 11000 kb/s you see above. All the servers had about the same upload speeds.
