What is Your Internet Speed?

are you the type the faster internet the better? or are you happy with just a basic connection?

I want the fastest available in my area at all times seeings I’m on a desktop computer 95% compared to my phone

here is my current internet speeds

We are getting Gigabit in my area soon, but honestly I am more concerned with Upload speed.  I would love Gigabit uploads, for uploading stuff to YouTube, Vimeo, and doing webcasts. 

Wow that’s nuts I get about 90 down and 12 up wired or wireless it’s the same just more stable wired

2mg download, .3 upload or thereabouts.

Rural area, end of the line. It works fine, able to stream videos no problem. But on one device at a time mind you. 

$75/ month to bundle phone and internet together. Other options are Verizon or Virgin mobile hot spot which isn’t unlimited data like the DSL service is

That’s smoking fast comp!!

I like the fastest I don’t know what mine is exactly other then it’s the fastest Time Warner Cable offers 

We get 24 down and about 3 or 4 up. Typically it’s around 27 or so down, fast enough I guess. As long as the porn doesn’t buffer I’m good to go…

12 down  2 up …

generally there are 256 customers on a single node, if you happen to be on a full or almost full node you may experience slow times based on other’s activity. If your on a near empty node it is clear sailing until they add more and more customers…there is way more technical stuff to it but this is a easy way to understand….we have 2 providers in our area and they are competing with each other, because one is upping their game with fibre optics the other is offering a crazy plan for cheap but on a 2 year contract so you will stay with them for awhile at least.

90 down, 75 up.

Damn – that 600/400 dwarfs mine.

I really want something with a faster upload speed, but with one and only one option for internet, it’s not going to happen.

Actually I lied it’s 75/75 but real numbers are closer to 90/80. Verizon and now Frontier Fios

We are on fibre now as of a couple months ago (screw you Shaw, never going back). We were at 30 down 10 up for $73 CAD. We are now at 150 down, about 40 up last I checked, and our ping is 2 ms (my favourite part is how little latency there is). $70 a month, but for 6 months we pay $50 thanks to wheeling and dealing at a trade show lol. 

This is what Comcast says they supply me with for a monthly fee..

They even falsify the test data by writing code in their system to recognize when certain speed test sites are accessed and open up the pipe to show whatever your data plan is supposed to show…

This is what they actually supply…

At least until they rewrite their code to include this site…..

Comcast makes me feel less annoyed by Frontier. Supposedly Bright House is looking to get out of this area like Verizon did, rumor is that they’re talking to an investment company that might flip it to Comcast…so I can’t even leave Frontier if I wanted. Maybe this means Google is planning on expanding to the area? Tampa is often a test market for tech so I have my fingers crossed.

we have 2 choices here, Tbaytel or Shaw……..thank god shaw has been good in consistent service as we went to tbaytel for 25 days and it cut out 4 times  1 time for more than 24 hours……and kept blaming my modem…. I laughed and said it isn’t my modem….went back to shaw……

I get about 80 or so both upload and download. It good enough for what I need it for.

Wow, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at that tho….

As of yesterday we’re getting 45 down and around 5 up…

I’ve tested on a dozen different sites and get 93 down 12 up on all of them (as average), testing on that one says I get 7 down. Now I’m not saying you’re wrong but there’s something not right with that test, my guess is they have horrible servers. 

here is my test from xfinity

The numbers from the second site match the maximum download rate that Steam feeds me, as well as any other direct feed I have tried. Also the percentages of feed rate are identical on two different speed plans I have had with Comcast at this location. If you run speedtest.com, Comcast will open up the pipe while shutting down all other incoming feeds and give a rate that they have literally fabricated due to the code in their web system. When the test is over, the datarates on “all” of the incomming feeds will return to the lower numbers in total. If you are using the test link on Comcasts site, YOU ARE BEING LIED TO. This is of course, my personal opinion.

Oh I’m sure they’re tampering with results for popular sites, have no doubt, but I am not getting 7mbps. They’re not stupid enough to fabricated to a factor of 13. increase by 10 here, 12 there maybe. I have one of the best routers on the market with about 15 connected devices in my home. I don’t have cable so everything is streamed, sometimes simultaneously like Netflix, Youtube, HBO Go, PS3 gaming, Hulu, etc…

That’s not happening on 7mbps. 50? Maybe. 

Here you go in Farmington NH…Metrocast $67ish mo.

Woohoo, tonight i’m getting about 2.5mbps download, .5mbps upload, that’s like .3mbps better than most days!! 

I get about 30 down and 6 up. Spectrum(TWC). It was way worse but I just spent a bunch of time cleaning up my coax, put on all new high quality ends, relocated my modem and router, added an access point, and hard wired 3 devices to the router to take them out of the WiFi loop. It has made things better.

That is pretty bad to say the least. Can you get faster for more dough?

I could, but would be paying an arm and a dick plus it would be limited to about 10 gb a month, it would be through Verizon over their network.

I have unlimited internet, it’s enough for us, we’re out in the country, at the end of the line and lucky to get what we do. I can’t complain too loudly

Lol yes I’ve credited you before, let it hereby be known that I first heard the expression from @Hugh Jass and is not my own work. 

Imitation is the highest form of flattery after all

lmao. Still cracks me up. 

Also, that’ll be $5. 😆

I have great speed through Verizon….until it runs out 2-3 weeks into the month and I spend the rest of my billing cycle in “safe mode” where it takes 20 fucking minutes to load a page.
