@ArbitraryAffection that's pretty poor service for the price 32 quid ( NZ$60.24) is what I'd pay here for 200/100 + unlimited data and a VOIP line

Shit, I wish I could get that plan for that price.

 

[Athlonite]

Shit, I wish I could get that plan for that price.

for $104NZD I get 900/500 (they used to call it Gigabit but couldn't sustain it) unlimited data + VOIP line

 

[hat]

Yeah, I pay double that for 1/10 that speed and don't even get phone...

Wanna throw me an extremely long ethernet cable?

I really do feel for ya bud and if I had a cable long enough I'd trow it over the ocean for ya

Cable upload speeds suck...

Yes won't be fixed until Full duplex is released and that is probably still years away.

Best hope now is your provider will Run Docsis 3.1 on the upload side which should be better than 30-35mbps up you see on most cable packages.

They actually offer up to 50Mbps upload, but only on their top of the range 500/50Mbps plan, which is 2x what I'm paying for 200/30Mbps, so it doesn't quite feel like it's worth the extra cash.

My area should get fiber by december 2020, I already signed up and will be getting 1000/100 for the same price as now for 100/10.

 

[Argyr]

I'm paying about 12-13 USD/month, I'd say it's pretty decent

Wish I was getting fibre. My previous ISP had fibre to the building and then Ethernet. Sadly they got bought out by a cable company who forced everyone to change to cable modems...

This is why Pewdiepie is in trouble with T-series. Internet access in India has improved a lot these past 5 years. These days you get like 80 GB of 4G (decent speeds) for USD $2 per month. Here's my home wired network:



A lot of people who're just interested in on-demand entertainment subscribe to T-series. About 600 million people have Internet now, and our population is 1.3 billion.

Somethings a bit whack with your set up with nearly twice the upload as the download speed or was the network not idle when you ran the test

I would have filed a complaint or moved out.

Someone took alot of money there to get rid of a superior connection to allow a cable company to come in and push docsis in the building.

My plan says 400 Mbps up and down, with 1.5 TB data-cap per 30 days, but the ISP failed to configure their upstream properly. Not that I'm complaining.

I pay $50 for this.

I barely ever cross 300 GB usage at the end of the month.

Well, as we own the property... I can't exactly just move out...
But yes, it pissed me off. The logic behind that change was nonexistent. Then again, when has that ever stopped someone from doing something stupid?

So you don't have a body corporate that makes these decisions on behalf of residents then because if you do and they made a decision without including you in any meeting about it then you may have a right as an owner (not a renter) to take them to court and have it reversed

 

[TMCThomas]

Ping is a little higher than I'm used to usually closer to 4ms. It's a 100/100 unlimited plan here in The Netherlands. For some reason the upload speed has always been higher though.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

Lol at people with 100+ that complain

Try being staff here and dealing with this. Keep in mind non-peak hours and the best of many results. Typically I get 2.0-3.5 down and 0.5 up Nothing was downloading at the time this is just how wildly my speed varies on a regular basis.

No, it was all down to the ISP and they replaced it across the entire neighbourhood, not limited to just a few houses. They never consulted anyone that I know of, they simply tore out the old stuff and replaced it with DOCSIS 3.x. Besides, people here are clueless about these kind of technologies, just like in most countries, unfortunately.
Besides, no-one would consider taking a service provider to court here, that only happens in the US.

And presumably no choice of a different service provider? I could change to a different provider that uses xDSL for the last mile service at least, but they tend to be quite unreliable in my experience and they're also much more expensive for the same speed I'm getting now.

Internet in the US is awful imho. Every time I have to go for work, it's either crazy expensive with hotel Wi-Fi, or it's 1Mbps or slower, sometimes slower than dial-up.
In fact, I haven't been to a country in Asia that has as crappy internet as US hotels, with China being the one exception, as they block most of the sites I want to access, although not TPU.

Yeah Spectrum (cable ended there line 1000ft up the road. Which is where the cutoff was 30+ years ago. Old cable (adelphia) was bought by TWC which then merged to Spectrum. However due the contract the town signed they never had to update anything. Instead they ran a line to the next town over but it can't be tapped into for consumers. There for DSL only. DSL cabinet is on the property I live at. However its never been upgraded. So best they can do is 10 mbps but since they can't even provide the 7 thats being paid for its a joke. Currently 40+ homes connected via this cabinet. Really frustrating as a reviewer.

 

[Athlonite]

Quietly run the cabinet over one night and blame it on hoons or a drunk driver if you want it upgraded

But aren't you glad you live in a market driven economy where the customers willingness to pay drives the development of advances in new technology?

Those speeds are the same as mine, but strangely enough where your rating says you are slower than the majority, mine didn't here in Australia, home of crap internet speeds.
Peak or night rate is even slower.

At my brother's place in the UK, which is painfully slow, even though they promise a massive 10Mbps.
