internet spped testt

to effectively answer that question depends on your depth of knowledge in PING time, hops, backbone and other sundry references.

I would suggest trying out two or three different speed test links (like www.speedtest.net) to compare results as some use different data and calculations. Also, you'll want to try it at different times of the day to get a good idea of overall performance, and over the course of several days would give you an even better picture.

Do a trace route and see how the Internet is routed.

More than likely when you do a speed test to the BVI the route goes to Miami then back to the BVI.

Many of or most of the fiber optic connections leaving the USVI go directly to Miami. If you are going elsewhere in the world it goes through Miami.

thank you.

in Windows, bring a command prompt (Windows key-R), type cmd.exe and at the prompt tracert www.google.com -- it will tell you how long it take to go from each hop. As Kahu mentioned, latency is perhaps a more important factor that raw speed (note that speedtest also provides that number). You will often find a correlation between poor "perceived performance" and a long delay to reach... your first hop (typically your internet provider's entry point).

Great way to distract me for an hour! Didn't realize I drove by a couple submarine fiber-optic terminal buildings yesterday up in Northside. Very cool.

How much is that running you a month? Just curious...
