Tech tidbit: Computer time trial

Who’s got the fastest broadband in these parts? We’d like to list the top speeds of readers in a future item for .TXT.

To find what your speed is, go to http://www.speed matterswashington.org/ and click on the link to test your speed.

Here’s how we did at .TXT central, at The Spokesman-Review’s downtown Spokane office: upload speed, 11,839 kbps (kilobits per second); download: 49,750 kbps.

If you click the “compare results” option, you’ll see how your speed measures against other averages.

The state of Washington average download speed, according to this site, is 1,427 kbps. Upload average in Washington is just 244.

We’d love to find anyone who can outhustle us.
