Post your broadband speed

I dont know that why posted it. Speedtest.net show identical speeds, but Optimum speed test says something diffrent.

And for some reason the 8400e system always showed fasters speeds then my i7 system atlest as far as optimum speed test is concerned, they always look identical when it came to speedtest.net

 

Verizon Fios 75/75

 

Found something intresting

Win10

Speedtest.net ( Browser/cyberfox 94mbps vs win10 task manger 99mbps)



Optimum Speed test (Browser/cyberfox 99mbps vs win10 task manger 105mbps)



Which is correct the browser or win 10 task manager?

 

Well, to be honest the Speedtest.net website always tests your connection speed via servers located all over your region and that's why you always get a different speed everytime you start a speedtest.

I'm not really sure about the Windows 10 task manager but my guess is that it tests your connection to your router so I would say that the task manager is more on point, but hey I could be wrong.

 

Mine



Im subscribed to 1Gbps but since Im using wifi and the router is at the living room, for some reason Im only linked at 325Mbps and 802.11n

 

Not sure if this has been mentioned but dsl reports test seems to have added buffer bloat to the test. Seems interesting

We upgraded to the 100/100 FIOS package, which required swapping out our old ONT. I never saw sub-10ms pings to game servers in BF4 prior to the upgrade, but now I have a handful that run 7 to 9ms most of the time. From what I've heard, the GPON ONTs are indeed a little quicker - not just more bandwidth.

 

VirginMedia free upgrade from 152 to 200, quite happy even if the upload is still poor.

 

Speedtest.net has a new HTML5 beta speedtest available

pretty good for a tiny tiny village in rural Scotland

 

Guess the dd-wrt buffer bloat fixes are working :nerd:

 

Found it.

What happened? I mean, did you not know about the other service provider or something else?

 

So i'm paying for TWC 100/10 but they seem to be giving me 200/20 since i upgraded my modem to a SB6183.

 

Just gonna leave this here as a reminder for myself, I am currently awaiting the activation of 60/20 somewhere till the end of the year.

I know it's going to be a game changer for someone like me who downloads a lot of stuff and likes to stream online content.

And yes believe it or not, there are still people with such crappy connections around the world



I am also going to post the new one, once I get connected.

 

^ Verizon still serves 3mbit dsl in the places that dont have fios...

I waited patently for 3+ year for fios come to my area, before i bit the bullet and went to cable. and 3+ years in to having cable fios still not in my area and my area still only get 3 mbit dsl from them.

Would leave cable in heart beat if fios actual came to my area.

Both ask to much for there internet but what I was paying for 3mbit ( mind you this 3 mbit turned in dialup once a year for few months) with verizon i geting 120mbit with cable, atlest when cable is having issue it dont turn into dialup.

There will always be crappier isp out there

In house that does nothing but streaming, 3mbit no longer cutt it. atlest now i dont have to worry about the whole network coming to stand still with 1 person steaming anymore

 

I know what you mean. I have been waiting patiently for Fiber internet to come to my area but the stupid Telephone company which is My ISP currently is blocking them form using the poles illegally to get the fiber to my place. My Download speed is Ok but my upload speed is putrid. I am barley getting by with 12Mb/s with running 2 devices streaming Netflix.

My ISP is supposedly is going to upgrade their network using VDSL2+ bonding which should double my download speed to 24/25 Mb/s and increase my upload speed to 1.5 Mb/s.

Oh I agree that there will always be a crappier ISP out there. My Cousins have decent download speeds but the reliability of the connection is garbage. It would just go down without warning.
