What is a good connection speed?

You probably have a downstream cap of 1024 kilobytes (1 Megabyte) per second (or 8 Megabits per second; this is the number ISPs advertise: Megabits per second, not Megabytes.) Just to emphasize this: 8 Megabits = 1 Megabyte = 1024 kilobytes. You're probably getting what you paid for.

A downstream speed of 1MB/sec is considered above average in most parts of the world; the exceptions are places like Japan and Korea, where 100 Megabit home Internet connections are the norm. Lucky bastards -- North America is starting to catch up with the gradual implementation of FiOS and other new networking technologies, albeit slowly.

This is my results from speed test.

Is this ok for gaming online.... this is a new pc so i am gonna start playing games online.

thanks for the help.. to the person who said check this site.. thats the site i got my info on :P anyways.. guess ive just got a **** computer cause it cant even play tf2buddy90909

Anything above around 256Kbit/s is perfectly fine to play games online.

What's much more important are Ping and Packet loss. With a Ping of 428ms for a distance of 200 miles there's something wrong with your connection, or something running in the background that's clogging your connection. (I'm from Europe and have a lower ping to the very same server. From over 4000 miles away...)

Edit: Okay, the pings from the test don't seem to make much sense anyway.

Me using speedtest to a certain server: +200 ms Ping

Pinging the same server manually: 15 ms Ping (as excepted)
