Post your Speedtest.net Speeds!

Two fiber optic companies are RAPIDLY expanding in central IL. It's amazing how much cheaper Comcast can offer me service when they have a competitor who is much better than them.
if in doubt always go with not crapcast
 
Finally got fiber where I live in Chile.


I have these speeds for about 20 bucks monthly, pretty satisfied, though the ISP has 1Gb/s but at about 40 bucks per month lol

Spectrum sucks.... it's crazy looking at other non Americans speeds. How is the US so far behind in high speed internet.

It's less here in the UK. 86Mbps max speed unless you live in a major city. Even then it can be poop unless you pay with a kidney.

Yes and no... Spectrum sucks compared to say Fiber service. My Spectrum is like 480/23. Pretty good since I pay for 400/20. They offer 940/40 in my area too. Not sure why your spectrum is that slow. It starts at 200/10 here. Compared to my co-workers who have Comcast, I have far fewer outages as well. They have issues almost weekly with Comcast.

Used to have Xfinity w/ 100/10, but was really 140/13, to WOW! w/ 150/50.
It doesn't quite reach those speeds but I'll take slightly lower download speeds over quadrupled upload.
 
Well looks like I'm ringing my ISP tomorrow to upgrade my plan from 900/500 ($89.95NZD) to 2000/2000 ($149.00NZD) for an extra $17.00NZD a week so I'll definitely post back here once it's all setup and going they need to come in and change my ONT (Optical Network Terminator) to a better faster one so it'll be interesting to see what Chorus give me for an ONT and what my ISP sends out as the Modem/router dog I hope it's not some shitty netgear crapper

Well the order for install is underway the Zyxel Modem shows up tomorrow as does the new WIFI card I just bought to go along with the Modem stupid thing about it is the modem has 1x 10Gbe port and 4x 1Gbe ports so that sucks why provide a modem that can't even do 2.5Gbe on the other 4 ports. Leving me with a choice of buying an expensive 5 port 10Gbe switch or going WIFI6 with an 802.11ax pcie wifi card
 
Finally on the gigabit life, 940 up 940 down. Previous ISP called their 300Mbps plan "fiber" but it clearly still ran off the same coax lines......this one runs off the Alcatel fiber modem on my wall that's been there for the past 6 years, zero clue what it was for until now.

So far Battle.net is the only application to hit 113MB/s. Something tells me crappy Realtek 1Gbe might actually have trouble hitting the 940Mbps that I currently hit on both Realtek 2.5Gbe NICs. We'll find out soon enough, got a B550M-ITX/ac on the way for a build, Realtek 8111.

And here is the result

not bad for WIFI I will see about getting a PCIe 10Gbit card tomorrow

Maybe get a 2.5Gbps card instead, unless you're going 10Gbps anyhow, as they're a lot cheaper.
Or is the 10Gbps port 1/10Gbps only, with no support for 2.5/5Gbps?
This might also be worth a look https://www.qnap.com/en/product/qsw-2104-2t
It goes for NZ$240 here.
 


For a relatively cheap price here in my country - quite happy with it.
 
I'm happy with it:
