So, How Fast is Your Internet?

We've had Charter/Spectrum for years. Four Smart TV's, four surveillance cameras, three computers, four phones, two iPads, a PS4, and I'm sure a couple things I'm forgetting. Only ti,e it doesn't smoke s when the neighbor doesn't call 1-800 Dig Rite, or ignores them colored flags. Happened twice this year . . .
 
Heck, my cellphone connection (off wifi) is faster than some of you guys' internet connections. And I don't live in a major city where they (usually) have more towers and better service.

I have Frontier FIOS. Here are my Ookla results:

Ping: 6ms

Download: 80mbps

Upload: 89mbps

All fast enough for me. It looks like I am winning the upload speed contest so far. Maybe I should dump more random photos onto the Forum.:rolleyes:
 
Ping - 1
Down - 539
Up - 497

Fast fiber. Speed Test check with wifi not hard wired, so hard wired, it will be faster :)

Having moved from a major metropolitan area with multiple internet choices, it was a real shock to have only a cellphone hot spot or jet pack for internet. Two weeks ago fiber optic was installed and operational in a small area which I live in.. 58 up and 35 down. Not what some of you are getting but soooo much better then cell hot spot.
My cell phone only gets two bars. (Sometimes)
 
I don't know at what speed I'm getting, but due to working from home Exfinity told me that I had gone over the max for what I had 5 times last fall.
And if that continued they would bill me at a high rate.
So I increased to their max, for less than they were going to charge me.

My 10 year old Toshiba Satellite is working great, as fast as it did when new.

Ok, so 20 internet-connected devices in and around the house (all Apple except thermostat, printers and a pair of KEF speakers), 242 down in the cave, 76 down out in the shop.

Up? Who cares, I'm not running a server...
 
Ookla says:

Down: 28.8 mbps
Up: 8.36 mbps
Ping: 18ms
Jitter: 34ms

Not bad, given an iPad gen 2 behind a VPN and 802.11n. If I disconnect the VPN and go to the Frontier router (.11ac) I'm pushing 50/45. Move to the Ethernet desktop, then I get ridiculous (high 800) with 6-8 ping. Frontier FIOS... and worth every penny.

My internet is delivered by a flying donkey up to a satellite owned by Hughesnet, then back by the same donkey. Sometimes he gets tired. Me too.

I have to laugh at those remembering 14.4 dial up speeds. My early computers had no modem at all and then the internet came along. I was excited to install my first dial up modem at 1200 kbps. Imagine the thrill of 14.4! And updating memory to 1 MB!! Lot's of little parts and no You Tube for advice.
 
Got Hughes Net. Our flying donkey has a broke wing but still head and shoulder better than the Century Link garbage we used to have.
We are supposed to be getting fiber optic in about a year through our electric coop. They are promising tremendous speeds. I certainly hope so.
