Internet speed

I had been in doubt rather my internet speed was ok with my Mac. My wireless signal is weak, due to the distance between my D-Link router and my MacBook. After a test I had with speakeasy.net, I realized my internet speed is actually ok. I used the Seattle server, since that's the closest to me and there was no available servers in Canada.

That's what I got:

What do you guys get? Is this speed normal?

UPDATE: This is another test I had with an actual Vancouver server. I guess the speed is almost the same.



I was having some fun, so I went to test out the server from New Zealand (the one furthest away from Canada).

And then I have this:

amadeus,

Wow! Your internet is extremely fast. Do you have a regular plan? I wonder how much is the plan...

I am glad my internet speed is ok, even though I hope it can be better.

bcall,

I think you definitely need to fix up your connection, as you are supposed to get the same speed as me. =S

amadeus,

I don't know if I have a good connection or not. I guess it's not too bad. hahaha

wow...your ISP is quite expensive. Ours is like 39.99CAD, I think. However, since mine comes with a TV plan as well, I think it's even cheaper.

And oh yeah, amadeus...

It doesn't have a contract. =S

amadeus,

Really? It doesn't make a big difference in Canada. The price is almost the same and so is the speed. I heard that the internet fees are generally higher in the US. Is that true?

thinking of you,

amadeus (again *wink*),

We never have a contract in internet services in Canada, unless you are under those promotion that requires you to use their services for at least half a year or so....then that's something different.

I will read it when I do have time, amadeus. I am not so happy because of school and duckie these days. However...I will be happy, so don't worry about it. =)

PS. I am really sorry that we are behind. =(

amadeus,

I can tell you that I am not too happy at the moment. And your e-mail made me even more unhappy, so I currently cannot reply your e-mail. I will try to reply you with an e-mail when I am a bit more happy. You asked me to do too much. I don't like to do video chatting. I feel like you are asking me to ignore you.

I really don't want to try to be mean, you know? The fact is, however, that I hate video chatting. I don't think that will ever change. I know that disappoints you, but that's a fact, and I can't force myself to do something I don't like.

amadeus,

I know you are not asking me to ignore you, but the way you ask me is like making me thinking about ignoring you.

I don't feel happy about it...not at all.

I know you are trying to give me space...but the way you keep asking me to give you video chat makes me so unhappy.

I don't like video chats, but everyone knows about it. I don't feel comfortable about it...not to my bf, to my brother, to my parents, to my friends. I hope you understand what I mean.

Honestly, I only feel "more" comfortable about it when I see that person everyday, but it doesn't mean I like to do video chats. Pictures are ok...but I am not a person who likes to get seen by video cameras. I don't feel secured, even with a person I love and care.

I understand you are not a writer. I am not a writer too. In fact, I think I am a really bad writer. I only know how to do Math, seriously. Maybe you had already realized that when you first met me. I am not an English speaker, and I speak Cantonese at home. I am a native Cantonese speaker, so my English is not too good as you. I might have a harder time communicating things with you, so I hope you understand me. I am not trying to make you sad or anything. I only hope you don't force me to communicate with you with your way.

I am tired of this....and I hope we have a better solution for this problem. We are good brother/sister right? I truly want to know.

take care,
kittyangel

P.S. Sorry if it doesn't make sense at all.

amadeus,

I don't know if time will really help, because I absolutely hate using video chat to communicate with others.

I do agree that text messaging has its down side, but I don't see a problem with using it for us.

Love do overcome many many things, but I really can't say love can overcome EVERYTHING. You see? There exist a lot of couples who do love each other, but due to many other factors, they can't really be together.

I don't think I am good in English...

take care,

amadeus,

You do think it's stress that caused me to say such thing? I really don't know. I always think I have some logic behind what I said. I do always think that I think before I say things to people.

I don't know...maybe each person thinks differently. In my opinion, I still think love can't overcome everything. Yes...it can make two people get together, but a lot of little problems can create one big problem, which will overrides love.

Maybe you are right. You are more experienced in life than me. There are many things that I had never experienced before. The things I am dealing with right now may not be so hard for you. I still need to learn a lot. I guess time will bring me understandings of what you just said in the previous blog comment.

I am happy to hear that you think my English is ok.

I do think my Chinese is better. hahaha...maybe I use Chinese more than I use English.

=)
