What is the internet speed on your PC now? I have Charter Spectrum Internet and the speed on mine is 82 mbps. How much does your's vary? Mine generally stays between 80-92!

We also have Charter Spectrum and the speed is very consistent around these numbers.

City folks. Here in the bushes I'm lucky to get 9 and a half gig upload speed. It's all CenturyLink provides this far out.
We get by. The wife and I are both on our laptops and the TV is streaming off the wifi router without hiccups.
How much do you need, anyhow?
 
I don't understand how some of your speeds are that high.
I have Verizon wifi and my speeds are dl...1.07 mpbs and upl is .68.
Are any of your services limited to a total monthly data use? I am at 12gb per month and I can blow through that real quick if I am not careful.
I can't get ATT or cable because they aren't available here. I have heard nothing but complaints on satellite internet and many of them run through Hughes Net which I heard really sucks for data usage limits before cutting you off till the next day.
 
I am amazed at some of those speeds. Century Link tells me I am paying for 12mbps. I usually hey 11.5to 12.5, but a couple of times a week it will drop to 1-4mbps. Upload speed is around 1.5 Mbps.

This is consistent with the generally crappy service provided by Century Link.
 
I'm in the DFW area, and have Frontier FIOS:

Ping: 6ms

Download: 48 Mbps (supposed to be 75 Mbps :mad:)

Upload: 88 Mbps (supposed to be 75 Mbps :), except I rarely upload anything)
 
I get around 70 down, 12 or so up. A great site to check speed is speedof.me. Works on computers and cell phones without an app, and keeps a history of your speed for you.

Have Comcast. Just dropped my speed from over 100 mps to 50. Saving about $30 a month by doing so. Speed test just showed 66 mps download and 6 upload.

Since we lowered our plan we haven't noticed a drop in performance at all.

So......Do you really need all that speed? :eek:;)
 
I use a certain satellite service, previously mentioned.
No other game in town, to speak of.

I typically run 1-3 Mbps.
Wife and I work from home, and that's awful.
But, we don't have a choice.
No cell service to speak of either, so Verizon and ATT are out.

Furthermore, They failed to mention that VOIP and VPN are not supported. That's a major problem! Make note, those of you that think you'll work from home using that unnamed satellite ISP.
