My reaction, a play by play:

Download: that looks okay
Upload: that's fine, what's her problem?
Ping: ....oh. D:

And then I went back and rechecked my units of measurement to see what was wrong with the dl and ul.

Internets that slow should be illegal. <3

Ewwwww.

Is there anything we can do? Would 3G be faster?

[afuna]

If it ever changes, I'll tell you, but we only get edge / gprs in my home! (But I went boxing and when I came back the speeds were tolerable :D TAKE THAT)

[afuna]

I think it would be acceptable were I back on dial-up, or even edge. But from home and for work it's pretty painful ;_;

(But it's a bit better now. PHEW)

[afuna]

Hee I know right? I blinked when I saw the speed test and double-checked the conversion in my head a couple times to make sure I got it right.

(IT's settled down to be more reasonable now THANK GOODNESs)

Hey, I remember when 9600 bits per second was fast! You kids get off my lawn!

[afuna]

9600 bits per second? I thought even the oldest modems were at 14.4kbps?

[pauamma]

Nope. Oldest I had hands-on experience with was 300 bits per second, in the mid-70s.
