Post your broadband speed

lol...

 

Did someone say the FCC ?

 

Upgraded to 150/50 Mbit LTE. Not too bad for 15,78 €/month. No download limits. With some bad ass antennae I bet that 100 Mbit would be quite close.



Our modem supports only 100 Mbit at max though.

 

^^ Is that over WiFi ?

 

No. (4char)

 

Lol... I forgot to enable the bundled antennae. Proper results:

Wired would always be nicer but then again... Latency isn't too bad.

 

If you have 150/50 on a 100Mbps router, you should be getting 100/50 or close to it wired

 

Yep but it only supports LTE speeds up to 100 Mbit and it has 100 Mbit wired ports so 100/50 is theoretical maximum for internet speed in all usage scenarios (wired and wireless). It has wireless N support but in this case it wouldn't allow higher speeds (and in practice it can rarely keep up with 100 Mbit wired connection).

In practice, not too bad:

 

That download speed is 100Mbps easy, so your speedtest was way off

I get 8.9MB/s download on a 76Mbps connection

 

Not really, 80,8 Mbit = 10,1 MB.

 

Hmm my bad lol, not sure what was going on with my maths there, need more coffee

EDIT - Weird, the converter says 76mbps = 9.5MB/s, but speedtests tell me that I get 76mbps, yet firefox downloads tell me 8.9MB/s max

They are definitely the same speeds because I have netspeedmonitor on my taskbar, and it shows the same speeds for tests and downloads

 

There is a certain amount of compression based on the files being transferred - that can make your numbers look a bit off.

NBA games cancelled due to heavy snow, but Internet seems ok.

 

LOL yes heavy snow but the worst is yet to come hope i dont lose power.

 

Minutes before I posted the commentary I read this: http://www.wired.com/2015/01/stormof2015/

 

Funny read and very true.... if i lose power and have no tv or internet idk what to do .... im bored as is having tv and internet lol

 

I still can read, but the process of reading is becoming digital with my kindle. So wait, it's good that kindle has a great battery but even this... Someday we'll get completely paralyzed once the power goes out.
