I was shooting a video (yes, my ugly mug on camera) at the Microsoft Lincoln Square building in downtown Bellevue today, a really amazing money-is-no-object-for-good-working-conditions kind of place. Just for fun, I ran a speed test on their internet connection. The results were so amazing I immediately took a screenshot of it:
Just in case you can’t pick out the numbers, that’s almost 10 Megabits/sec up, and 81 Megabits/sec down. That’s OVER 10 times the bandwidth any of us (non-FIOS) people get. I resumed some FTP downloads I was doing, and man, those little download progress bars were flying! Note the ISP is Microsoft itself, with a ping time of .4 ms J.
