It seems to me that my upload speed should be faster, what do you think?
Yeah download is usually much faster than upload and yours looks about right for basic package. You should contact your internet provider and see if you can get a faster package for your area. They will usually double your upload speed for only $10.00 extra a month. Most people have the basic package.It seems to me that my upload speed should be faster, what do you think?
The next time I am on I will try to host 16 people.
Below average, especially for the US.i dont know too much about computers but more than the average person.
Is this good?
Yeah below average is right. If you were playing GRAW 2 on the 360 you would only be able to host maybe 5 or 6 player rooms max. So if you host games and people get disconnected, now you will know why. Thats not a good enough connection to host some of the more demanding games. But if you call your internet provider you might be able to double that speed for only $10.00 more a month. (make sure your upload gets increased) That would at least get you around 700kb upload. The upload is the most important part for HOSTING.
Not neccessarily. Not all ISPs offer the same download/upload ratio. With one of my previous cable packages, they doubled the download speed, but the upload stayed the same.
Just to clarify that part, the upload is the most important part for hosting.
Congrats bro!!!! You shouldnt have any problems hosting any game now! That upload is very nice👍
Well you will also help out other people when you join their rooms because your connection will be so good. It will be less stress on the host. Yeah we can try it out some time this week in GRAW 2. That game is a very good way to test your conneciton online.thanx bro, i really dont care if i host or not but we can try a 16 player defend and see how it works.
its funny how different tests give you way different results, this is one i ran today:

Great hosting last night on GRAW2. Solid connection. I'm running a 3mb Cable connection, about a 468k upload and only had the game lag on me a couple times the entire night, most of which you were hosting 16 players. I'd say it's working out nicely!
The new DSL service is finally available in my area so I just upgraded to the "Up to 10mb" service, they say the upload is between 768-1024k. I guess we'll see on Monday when the modem arrives and the DSL gets activated. I will be saving about $20/mo over my current cable connection, so what the heck...save some money and upgrade the service...life is good.
