interesting... at home to a "local" test site my upload is capped to about 2/3 the speed I would get if I do the same test across the country to the opposite coast...

I'm going to miss this Fiber Optics service when I move from the area in a couple of weeks.

Here we go:

I want fiber optic lines...Cable just isn't fast enough. But I also think back to my old 56.6 with a bit of longing for the connection noise.

On cox at home I get 16 download and 32 upload. Ping is like 16. Don't ask why my upload is so high, we are supposed to get one mb, but even the cox service men don't know why. Still, helps to host lobbies!

@okham: Most cable companies use fiber optic lines... Charter, Cox and Comcast, the three fastest ISPs in America use fiber optics. That's how they are able to offer 100Mb down and at least 5Mb up in most areas. There's some people that can get more upstream speed but more than 5 is not offered because it's not guaranteed.

@rabidmonkeyoncrack: That speedwave feature is neat but it's unfortunate that it cannot have our woot userids automatically associated with our speeds. Each of us would have to create an account with them to use that userid feature.

My speeds:

23.81 Mbps - Download Speed
15.28 Mbps - Upload Speed

@rabidmonkeyoncrack: True that they might use Fiber Optic cables to connect and create an internet backbone but not in the neighborhood. That's still copper so it can be compatible with existing wires. If it was fiber all the way to the home, how would you get fiber connected to your TV? You would need some expensive adapter so they avoid that by using copper close to the homes.

We pay for 12mbps down but get 18-20 mbps on average. Charter is awesome.

I was totally just dubbed "Champion of the Internet" and "Overlord" in addition to receiving a "touchdown" and a "1-up".
Too bad that's not my home internet.

Dupe from 23 days ago, but I like my numbers, so I'll repost:

Here's mine from work ;-) (state university - 73 down, 34 up)

And here's home (31 down, 3.48 up):

Numbers are better today - I'm #531575379 on the Speedwave.

@cengland0: What? Do you realize what you just said? Even straight fiber-to-the-home is metallic wires at the end point. I don't know where my fiber lines end. I doubt they end at my home, maybe they get to the curb... But even if they did end at my home, connecting the fiber line to my TV with a coaxial is perfectly fine without any adapters on my end.

Yay! My office's connection is in the lead for upload speed - 82.80Mb/s.

My home connection downright stinks for upload and download, though. I'll be near the bottom of the rankings.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
