When I install my new ubuntu, I noticed that my net is much faster. Watch wideo and you'll see the difference.

Results:
WINDOWS - 3:13
LINUX - 7:34

PS. Back in the day I had 2Mbit/s connection

  • What's the name of that song which is so pleasant? I wish I could play like those guys do.

    I downloaded Ubuntu and will install it now. My internet speed is over 7.6 Gbits/sec.

  • 009 Sound System - Space and Time (Long Edit)

  • to be honest this might be a fluke. you'll need to do multiple tests, preferably taking turns, so in average the results will not be skewed.

    Of course linux will get higher download and upload and with a slightly better ping, but the difference you'll discover after doing a proper test will not be this extreme, but still extremely obvious.

  • I was using those systems for about 2 years, my connection was 2mbit at the time, and really in linux standard stable download speed was two times faster than I should get which is 400 kb/s when in Windows 200 kb/s was super maximum.

    so what you see in movie is real difference

  • Windows is good only when it is hosted inside Linux operating system as a virtual machine....Windows does not deserve we call it operating system.

  • I guess you never even tried Linux, Most hardware is out of the box recognised and installed. Scanners, printers etc... come with easy gui configuration programs. Your just bashing Linux right now. Try it first and then give you oppinion. I recommend Ubuntu...

  • waste of my time taking this stupid speed test

  • FUCK YOU UBUNTU RETARD

  • your computer is slow as shit

  • Ubuntu is based on Linux, which is a different kind of operating system than what Windows runs on. The packet headers are different for internet traffic, so most of the sniffing programs ignore the Linux packets, and slow down the Windows packets. That is my guess, anyway, because my internet is always faster on Ubuntu than on Windows, no matter which machine I try this on. Ubuntu is free.

  • lol anything beats xp, even windows 95, i hate xp its so overused :(

  • Fajnie. Ale jak ja zainstalowałem Linux Debian to nie wiem jak go wystartować.

    XP do dupy. Windows 7 żądźi

  • Чувачок есть много програм которые снимают все действия на екране!
