Post your Speedtest.net Speeds!

As I said, I get 11Mbps and change more than I'm paying for in upload speed, which I have never seen before. Besides, I rarely even hit 29Mbps in upload speed.
So something seem to be going on with their Windows app.
Also, you have really fast internet for someone living in the UK.

I only 1GBiT on a 10-100TB network so I don't complain :D

I know the ping is off but that's because of a secured VPN connection I use for my home network, if I was at the office there would be like 200Mbit :(
 
I have upgraded and now my download is faster than the WIFI on my laptop which is 100% expected. What I'm looking forward to is having 40mbit up instead of 10, which should be great for working remotely. We got rid of cable tv, so I splurged on the best money can buy, short of getting FTTH. If I was plugged in with a wire, download should be almost a gig.

I did another run after connecting the tower to the TV and plugging it in with an ethernet cable. Not too shabby.

I don't know how you guys/gals put up with such anaemic upload speeds (41mbps = 5MBps) vs the fibre 900/500 I have here with FTTH I regularly get 528mbps upload speeds (528mbps = 66MBps)

mbps = megabits per second & MBps = MegaBytes per second
 
Because Fiber is not an option in most cities and towns in states. And you meant anemic.

Cable internet has always been anemic on upload here in the US. For what it's worth though, download has almost 10 times as much bandwidth (RF-wise,) as upload. Theoretically, DOCSIS 3.1 allows for 10Gbit down and 1Gbit up, but that would require dedicating a ton of upload channels for a single customer. Either way, I'm pretty thrilled that I can get these kinds of speed without getting fiber run.
 
my new internet connection, same speed but whole lot cheaper, initially we got 300mbps but it was much more expensive annually compared to 100mbps so we downgraded our plan to save some money

Which provider do you have and where was the speedtest server located? 4ms ping is really good.

it's excitel, server is a nearby city. I used to get better ping with my previous ISP as they have servers in my city, 1-2ms usually.
 
This was my Internet Speed till 15 minutes ago

Now this is the new speed

Got it for 0€
 
Looks like my ISP has been upgrading their gear, as my ping is all of a sudden half of what it has been for years.

Your ping decreased and my download speed increased :laugh: today Cold War started downloading an update and i noticed more speed:confused:
check my previous post.

My last speedtest I did



I am on a shared 10-100TB and lowest speed should be 900-950Mbit but I don't bother to complain really ;)
 
Google is slowly spreading around the country with it's Fiber Optics, currently 1Gig up and 1Gig down. I think this is putting a little pressure on the competition. Google Fiber currently costs $80.00 a month for the service. It will be a long time before they make it to Northern New England. Comcast is the best ISP we have in our area for the Gigabyte plan which I posted my speeds earlier in this topic.

We have basic cable from Comcast and the Gigabyte package for Internet. We have about a $6.00 a month phone bill because we cancelled our landline service and switched to a device that plugs into the router called, ooma. Quite the savings over the past five years. Around $1,700.00 dollars by using VoIP with this device. That more than makes up for the extra cost of the Gig package from Comcast. Yes, we still need a landline along with our smartphones. But at $6.00 a month, that's almost an irrelevant cost these days.

I just recently cut cable TV and stuck with just internet. I had a 400/12 plan before and with cable tv I was paying over $200 a month. I cut the cable and upgraded to the gigabit plan and I pay $85/mo. which is quite the difference.

Is your new gigabit plan up and down on cable tv / coax?

No, it's something like 1200/40, but I don't have any devices that will do 2.5G ethernet. It's still over coax. I have an Arris S33 modem with just a 1Gbit port.
I did another run after connecting the tower to the TV and plugging it in with an ethernet cable. Not too shabby.

Edit: My main motivator was to go from 12mbit upload to 40.

Paid for 600 mbps connection, got 60 mbps up/down instead. Not even gonna fire up Speedtest to avoid getting depressed. I miss my $15 Romanian 2 gigabit.
 
@Aquinus

That was a smart choice. If young and old sat down for an hour with a calculator and statements i.e. bank, paypal, credit cards etc. -- they would most likely find they are tossing away between $1000.00 to 2000.00 (possibly $3000.00) annually. You can do a lot with a a couple thousand dollars. I have only two subscriptions on my smartphone and two on my PC. The total of both devices annually is $90.00.

Your motivation was the same as mine. I needed to boost my upload from 12 to 40 as well. I get between 34-37 which is soooo much better when uploading videos.
