Whats your Internet connection speed? Also Netflix Console Comparison!

[FxMercenary]

Today I got the Wii Netflix Disc in the mail, so I figured I would write up a quick review about it.

The reason I thought I would make this thread is for comparison of video quality for the 3 systems.

Wii = Official Nintendo Wii HD Component cables
360 = Monster HD Component cables.
PS3 = Monster 1000 HDMI Cable.

Internet connection speed.

All 3 consoles are feeding into a Sharp Aquos 32" 1080p Television

The 360 and the Wii are a Tie, what amazes me is the surprising quality on the Wii, I was expecting a chuckle out of it, but the video quality was surprisingly nice!

For some reason the PS3 seems to stream better at a faster frame rate with a broader color spectrum.

I havent taken a pic of my modern console setup since I moved 6 months ago, so I thought id share a quick pic.

How are you connecting them? wireless? Cat Cable? i am guessing wireless

I have 35/35 Fios out of Tampa, FL and My 360 seams to stream much better then my Wii Does, I dont have a PS3 so cant compare with it.

The Wii kind of Stumbles when i am watching Videos on the Wii Channel, I turned the Res done of the Video Quality and it works a lot better. I do have the HD component Cables for the Wii and I use the Standard Cables on my Xbox.

WTF? I have high speed internet and here's what mine is running at(for my PC). I haven't noticed any problems with downloading any video or anything, I guess it's fast enough.

Moved to a rural area last year. This is the best I can get from any local providers ATM. But Netflix still streams HD at those speeds, and gaming works fine.

My DSL sucks too. Although, it was tested through my 2nd computer which gets a real weak wireless signal.

These speed tests are meaningless. They don't measure sustained speed. Comcast uses "speedboost," which kicks in during the first minute or so of a download. After that, the speed is throttled back down to normal. If this were a five minute speed test, it'd be much more accurate.

For example, I pay for 6-12 Mbps down and 1-2 Mbps up, but because of Comcast's speedboost feature, the test clocked my connection at 13.6 and 3.7.

Although I'm calling shenanigans on the upload speed. It's never anywhere near that fast.

Hmmm, i have done this before and I can swear it was faster. Hmm..oh well...

As for the Netflix comparison, my setup is:

360 via component
PS3 via HDMI
Wii via component

The 360 seems the best to me so far. It just works smoother overall and, after rewinding or fast forwarding, the buffering recovers quicker. Also, for some odd reason, I can get certain things in HD on the 360 yet not on the PS3. The PS3 though is still pretty good overall. I was notified my Wii disc just shipped so I will know tomm. how it compares...

[kupomogli]

My download speed is good, upload sucks though, but it's supposed to be 1mb for my provider. It's been acting up though and dropping a lot so I have a trouble call on Thursday.

FxMercenary is pulling 25mb from 1000 miles away? How fast is your service actually?

its supposed to be 20up 25 down. I used to host a server out of my house, never got around to downgrading the speed heh.

[ScourDX]

My ISP upload speed is crap. It took me 20 mins just to transfer 5MB file.

5.27 here. Thinking of paying 20 more a month for 10mbp to make my online pc gaming and downloading a bit more fun as I do alot of both :)

Bummer.

[FxMercenary]

if you are on the east coast, try the New York, NY Server, they seem to have the best upload testing

This is on City of Minneapolis Wi-Fi, which I pay $18 a month for. Since we don't have cable TV or a home phone line, this is pretty dang cheap. I was paying about $60/mo just for Comcast broadband, and while it was faster and more reliable, it wasn't worth $500 more a year.

I would assume that intense internet browsing and watching Netflix on my 360 wouldn't affect this result, right?

Everytime I do this test it gives me an error when it tries to do the upload part of the test.

[heybtbm]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1313990628.png

Not bad considering I only pay for 12 down / 1 up. Apparently if I had a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, I'd hit 30 Mb/s...or so says a few of my co-workers.

[RPG_Fanatic]

Tried mine again and it's faster

[Wraith Storm]

Well here is mine. I have AT&T DSL, but damn... Looking at everyone else, it looks like i'm one of the slowest ones on here.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1316543117.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

As for the console Netflix comparison... Does anyone know if you can get sub titles on the 360?

On the Wii I can select different audio tracks and select subtitles. As far as I can tell the 360 has none of the options. I'm sure i'm missing something. I refuse to believe that the Wii is more full featured than the Xbox.

The 360 will stream in HD however and the Wii will not so maybe it's just a trade off. One does some stuff the other will not?

[Hwj_Chim]

I hate DSL

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1316739147.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I run netflix on a PS3. The quality looks very good. It is better than the wii but not by much

[c0ldb33r]

I like my ISP. Speeds are decent and it's going to increase my upload speed to 30 soon.

My ping ain't hot though.

I have the world's worst internet connection that's not dialup, surprisingly:

Even Dialup had a faster ping than this crap, but it was 2 - 3Kbps download speed.

I thought someone had been stealing my WiFi for months! Turns out it was 1 bad Ethernet cable in my home network.
