So, How Fast is Your Internet?

[TX-Dennis]

Curious about internet speeds around the country. Mine is supposed to be 1gbps up and 50 mbps down. In reality the 1gbps is never achieved, although I have gotten just over 900 a few times. Here's a test from this morning.

Edited to paste a screenshot in place of the previous link to the same information.

Ours is fast enough I suppose.

Wife doesn't complain about it and I just don't seem to care so ..... I've never checked.

 

[wood714]

About a gazzilion times faster than the 14,400 bit/s I had back in the day.

Just checked thru the link Dennis posted.

Not back considering I'm running thru a router and a VPN.

I think my Internet is very fast, but that opinion is from someone who uses a cell phone as a phone only, doesn't carry it much of the time, doesn't text, and is not familiar with "apps".

My service, provided by Sparklight, is faster than I can think, most of the
time. Every now and then it slows down. Guess it needs a rest.

Just checked it. 120 Down, 6 up.
Can get more if I opt to pay more.
My Provider is Comcast.
I know, I have the right to remain silent but I don't (usually) have the ability. Ron White
So not going ugly on Comcast is an event for me!

My son insists on the fastest plan. He is a gamer, and apparently the faster speed helps with that. The wife watches Netflix/Paramount/Hulu/Prime pretty much all day, but that doesn't take that much speed. We went to this plan about a year ago. Previously we had 300/3 which is really plenty of speed for anything I want to do. This plan is only $30/month more.

We have Cincinnati Bell FiOptics and it runs at ludicrous speed.

In the late 90's, when I had EarthLink, I could do a complete re-fret between pages loading.

 

[wood714]

I remember before broadband and high speed internet, the only way to go fast was a T1 line.

I was a supervisor working 3rd shift and our company had one. I'd play on AOL with it during down times.

This is as good as it gets around here. And I pay over 60 a month for it.

Ping 21
Download 110.94
Upload 46.57

 

[Onomea]

Seems to me it depends.

Ran two tests consecutively with Ookla. First was Ping 4, download 49.20, and 38.81 upload. The second was Ping 4, download 48.22, and upload 46.39.

Then ran one with Verizon: Download 50 and upload 29.

We have a problem in our city
Optimum did some deal with City Hall to keep out Verizon
Therefore no competition
Entire city has only fair Internet speeds

 

[pawngal]

I win for being the loser, Century Link here at work
2.80 MBPS down
0.45 MBPS up

 

[MetalMan]

EXACTLY the same as mine...

 

[jdh]

8 on a good day, 3 on a normal day. My longest ping so far has been 786 ms, fastest 21.

If I want to stream a video I have to tether to the cell phone which gets between 50 and 80.

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 . . .

 

[TX-Dennis]

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.

Edited to remove IP information.

 

[markeb]

What I have now is much faster than what I started out with, NetZero, dial up.

 

[swsig]

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.

Ping - 1
Down - 539

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.
