What's Your Internet Speed?

[THE PILGRIM]

I suspect that a lot of the recently reported forum problems are internet speed related.
So how fast is your internet?
There are a number of speed checkers available,
I am using the Speed-test app on the iPad.
I just checked mine.
My download speed is 88.57 MBPS.
Upload 6.20 MBPS.
Ping is 9 MS.
What's your speed?

 

[Muley Gil]

I check mine with a sundial.

 

[stairstars]

Mine is nearly identical to yours, but since I am not in the habit of pinging myself, I have no idea of that one.

 

[JohnRippert]

Last time I checked it was 75MB and 11ms on a 50MB line.

100 Mbps now but soon to have an upgrade to 300Mbps.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

100 Mbps now but soon to have an upgrade to 300Mbps.

That would be the claimed speed by the service provider.
You need to run a speed check on your device and see Exactly what speed you are actually getting.

I get about 950 Meg down, 960 Meg up. All for $70 a month. AT&T GigaPower.

Mine is supposedly 100/3 (download/upload). Most tests show download in the high 80s to low 90s and upload just at 3 (measured in mbps). My cable company offers gigabit speed, but they want a gosh awful price for it - $175/month just for the internet v. 55 for the 100/3.

Fastest AT&T offers here is 18 mbps.

Fastest AT&T offers here is 18 mbps.

We never got upgraded for uverse. Prior to the fiber upgrade the best we could get was 1.5 meg down .25 meg up.

I just got 122/12 on the N band wifi, not sure what I is on hardline

Download 103 mbps
Upload 13 mbps
ping 10 ms

 

[Frank121]

16 Ping
60 down
6 up

 

[Mike1647]

9.1Mbps down, 2.9 Mbps up on Exede satellite internet. It's somewhat better than dial-up, and it costs a lot more too. It is all that is available here.

 

[swsig]

I have Frontier FIOS. I just upgraded from 10 down and 2 up to 50/50. My actual speeds using Ookla Speedtest, are 48 down and 60 up, with a 30 ms ping. Frankly, I haven't seen any observable differences in speeds since the upgrade.

Geeesh... I remember the days when I was "upgrading" modems from 14.4kbps to 28.8kbps and thought that was smokin' hot! And when the 56kbps came out... crazy fast. Fast forward to today... if I'm not pushing 100Mbps I'm looking for the trouble shooting diagnostics button.

 

[Maddog 521]

I don't know what mine is and I don't know how to check it.
What is Mbps?

 

[ChattanoogaPhil]

Kbps = Kilobits per second
Mbps = Megabits per second

Kilo = Thousand
Mega = Million

My old 14.4Kbps was 14,400 bits per second.

My current speed of 89.51Mbps is 89,510,000 bits per second.

Goggle 'broadband speed test" to find a site to check your speed.

I don't have a clue. There is no speedometer on my computer!
