So how fast is your internet connection? I just upgraded from a 2 MB to 16 MB connection
-
How could one tell?
-
You can use this speedometer to check http://www.testmyspeed.com/ (http://www.testmyspeed.com/) it’s always nice to check that you are getting the bandwidth that your ISP have promised you
-
My "high speed DSL" is about 0.5 MB, thou most of the time it's 0.2 MB or much less depends on which application I'm using. ::)
-
Download 6352Kbps
Upload 429Kbps
i gather mine is very slow then :-\
-
Download 6880Kbps
Upload 852Kbps
That's not fast either I guess compared to your 16mb (that is 16000Kbps, right?) Medic :ahhh But I have no idea what to provider promised either :think:

i gather mine is very slow then :-\
That's not too bad for ADSL Paul, quicker than mine anyway, I'm getting about 4736 Kbps at the moment, although my uplink is quicker at 896 Kbps.
Here in the UK, it depends on things like how far you are from the nearest exchange and whether that exchange has the latest kit in it. They are in the middle of a huge program to upgrade them all though, so we should all see better speeds soon.

Mine's not too bad considering I also have two TV's running off it in addition to my desktop, laptop and netbook!

6 meg is a decent download speed in much of the US South East AT$T area. Unless its U-Verse, blah..blah, etc. The corporate logo resembles the Death Star for a reason.... >:D ::)
-
According to the test, I'm at 4000kbps
I'm not much for current affairs, but apparently Australia's internet is the laughing stock of 1st world countries.
-
http://www.speedtest.net/ will give a better idea as it has test servers closer to you...
-
speedtest.net gives me 12 mbps.
Apparently a 800mb movie will take me 8 mins.
That's a bit like saying my car can travel to Melbourne in 3 hours. this is probably true, if my point of origin is the ISS when it is above St Kilda.
In practice, It takes me a crapload longer than that.

also keep in mind downloading & torrents can affect the test.
for cleanest results try it with as little as possible running.
I sometimes post my results on one of my sites: http://www.themetal.net/taxonomy/term/3 altho it's typically when my connection is bad, as you can see, I've had better overall in the past, so they've actually downgraded our connection. They told us it was to make our connection more stable, which is a lie, because it's equally bad as it was, and slower.

All I do is internet and MS word on my laptop. Never rly DL anything or play gaymes. I'll test after I sleep and show my results. too grumpy when I'm sleepy >:(

I'd be happy if our upstream was actually the 1mb they promised... the downstream is fine, even if it is a bit slow. We have considered getting ONO fibre optic cable which is way lower contention and actual speeds are as advertised, not "thereabouts"

I'm on a wireless service. My speed varies GREATLY depending on traffic on the node.

(http://www.speedtest.net/result/768922552.png)
My speed is dependent on whether the evil Telco company(s) have given the asthmatic retired coal miners they use to pedal power their 'intenet machine' a smoko break in the last 20 hrs.Impressive isn't ::) ::) ::)
Australia was promised a fiber optic internet system at the last fedral election we are coming up to another fedral election & would you believe most of Australia still has medieval internet >:(

I just called comcast after seeing a slow speed of 6mb on that first link, and they had me try speakeasy and I gained 26MB!! Apparantly they are not all accurate and you should try several sites.

100M shortly! Then we'll be having some fun.
That's my speed at home.
At the moment I am in northern Michigan @ the summer place using wireless tether on my Android with an ad-hoc wireless connection to a DD-WRT flashed Linksys with two additional access points. One on the beach and one up by the garage.
It's not the speed I'm used to at home but at least it's full 3G on Verizon with 'Net access for the whole family. (And I'm in the middle of nowhere!) It's actually pretty neat the way I have it set up. If I wasn't leaving for home today I'd make a short video.

Most of those speed test sites are not very accurate. I prefer downloading a large file from a fast web server and calculating the speed myself :)

Exactly!
Phooey on HTTP for accurately measuring transfer speeds. Only good for an estimate.
I actually get about 70-80Mb/s via FTP when downloading HUGE RAR's and Speedtest gives me this BS..

No idea. I don't think there are different offerings with the speed here. I do know the main box is across the road, and if there are different speeds available, we likely would have gotten the top one since my wife works for the phone company and we get a discount.

Just reset my modem this morning and got better speeds. Since our modem is required for TV and internet I have been putting off resetting it since every time I think of it my wife is watching TV.
I'll post an update again in a couple of days when I have fiber and we'll see if there's a difference.

It's not reliable at all. I've had problems for almost 2 years know, though not all the time. It got worse after the upgrade from 40/4 to 50/5 a month ago... It really sucks since it's a combined internet/tv/telephone package; at times none of those services work at all :(
I've called their customer support line more times than I have called my mom this year :D

Don't forget that if you have a 10/100 connection on the WAN port of your router you get something with gigabit. Unless of course your router/modem/VOIP hardware is an "all in one" device, in which case telco probably has ya covered.

upstream makes all the difference... even if you don't have so much downstream... I remember when we went from 0.5Mb/s upstream to 1Mb/s... it was a huge difference for sending emails and uploading photos... even though our downstream didn't change. It also seemed to make downloads a bit faster as your computer can "ask" for the next piece of a file quicker...

We just switched to FibreOP, and here's the results. This computer is pretty far from the wireless modem, so I imagine that we're losing some speed as a result. The speeds are suppose to be 50 down and 30 up. We get that closer to that when near the wireless modem.

While I'm quite happy with the free upgrade to 100MB I'm actually pondering dropping back down to 50MB at the new price... Plus the wife and I might switch our mobile phones to the same provider for an extra 5 euros each (200mb/200min) but she needs a new phone...

all that speed and only rated 2.5 stars?
I think it is a common consensus, but I have recently just upgraded to fiber optics connection(from a 20/20 plan) and the difference is beyond my widest dream.
Netvigator is a major local broadband provider, but to be honest, I think their service varies. Sometimes they could be so unstable that a 20/20 plan will often yield single low digit both ways, or they may even randomly cut you off the grid(without warning or apologizes afterwards).

Strange to see some upstreams higher than downstream... typically most connections have ~10x upstream as downstream... ie 8Mb/s 0.5Mb/s.... etc most people do not need much more than 1-2Mb/s upstream as they are only uploading the occasional video or large email attachment and most of their traffic is incoming, not outgoing. I am tempted to drop down a tier from 100/10 to 50/5... but I'm definitely happy with my connection otherwise.
-
I definitely need more up speed as I'm making use of more cloud storage services.
I am due to get a speed increase in the next couple of months, so my up speed should improve. It will still be slower than I want.

With the upgrade to 50, you will also see a increase in upload to 3.
You may want to log into your account on the virgin website. It should give you a rough indication when the upgrade will take place. A mate of mine received his about 6 weeks ago.

Been contemplating for some time dropping to 50/5 to save a few euros a month... maybe use the savings for netflix which is finally launching in Spain next month (I hope this time for sure).
-
Most providers limit the upload speeds here... so you get up/down 50/5 or 20/2 and so on..
I assume that if you play games or upload a lot of videos this may be an issue, but most of the public mainly downloads stuff.
the difference between the 50/5 and 20/2 packages (with the same TV channels) was about 7Euro per month for me, so I went for the faster internet.
Now, what they DO NOT TELL YOU is that most of the mobile devices, especially the older ones, have lower wifi bandwidth limits..
So, my netbook can only download at 20M and my phone at 30M, through wifi... :facepalm:
to get 50M I need to connect a wire to the router... :D
-
Since yesterday I, and because of this thread, I "upgraded" from 10 mb/s service to 20 mb/s, and am now getting 24 download and 2 upload. That's adequate, but still slow compared to some of you cats who are getting 75. I could go up to 50 download, for another $20 per month, but you gotta draw the line somewhere.

You might not get any practical benefit from investing in more. Regular web surfing won't benefit from more speed, and Netflix says that 25 Mb/s is good for their Ultra HD quality: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306.

Up to 50 Mbps Down / 10 Mbps Up
Which is not even 10Mbps over the next step down of 25Mbps down and 10 up. I could save almost $15/month by dropping my speed down, but I'm not sure if the speed would also drop to 60% of what I am paying for... :facepalm:

Usually, phone Internet providers are capped pretty low on the amount of data, so there is that. Even T-Mobile, which has claimed to be unlimited here in the US, slows down your data access to abysmal speeds after 30GB(I think), whereas my Comcast limit is 1TB.
But yeah. You would think the home Internet speeds could hold their own.

Do you have it wireless or in a noodle of cables? :o
Well, up until late 2017 I was primarily using wifi at the Powernoodle Compound for our laptops, Rokus, etc. Getting maybe 45 mbps. I was having constant connectivity problems with the devices. And my teenage son likes to do 1st person shooter games online that really benefit from good interweb speed. Then it dawned on me that I could run ethernet cables from the router to each of my devices. That cranked my speed way up, and then I pay an extra $25/month for faster speed. I don't need it, but I do like it. So yeah, I do have a noodle of cables running all over the ceiling of my basement that feed the various devices. I love it. I do still use wifi with four security cameras, but that's the only thing I have left on wifi so there is plenty of bandwidth.
At the same time, I killed my cable tv and got DirectvNow, which saved me about $90/month. So there was a lot of positive change.

Very nice
I get a nice constant 100 Mbps download but upload is rarely above 30 Mbps, my last 2 tests the upload was around 7

New connection and new 4G modem/router...
Speedtest Windows App gave 125+Mbps, but has no way to share it :twak:

Not bad at all!
I don't even know what plan I have. Probably 200 down, 20 up. You have 400?
-
Yep, the 'biggest' one.
And sometimes it's even better.

The slower one is in the next room, one wall away.
Faster is beside the router.
I wonder if my phone or the router is the problem.

downgraded package, cheaper monthly

300+ downstream was great, but I rarely saw the full capacity, plus I'm happier to pay less and have better upstream!

BTW, even with my pathetic bandwidth I rarely if ever have buffering on YT, and my downloads are uncapped.
What do you guys use all the bandwidth for? Games?

web maintenance sometimes requires I upload/download large files in a hurry.
better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

This is what I got just now.

Not really, my service provider rule us all. :facepalm:
I remembered this thread from many years ago, and Enki used to tell me I stole the village's connection throughput at night... :D

Some of y'all got great speed. I'll have to check mine as we've upgraded for very little.

You know, I'm not sure.....
:rofl:

25Mbps is enough for streaming 4K video, to put it in perspective.
5Mbps for standard HD video.
(Not accounting for the inevitable speed dips. :dwts: )

Just got a big bump with new package and router, especially with the Upload.
