I wish my town had gigabit service. Hell, I'd be happy if my upload speed would go back up again - I barely get half the advertised speed now for some reason.

* "up to"

* "up to"

 

Oh I know it says that, I'm just sad I stopped getting the maximum advertised speed for both down/up which I was getting consistently until about a month ago. Not sure what happened.  Perhaps it has something to do with my current promotion of "we'll match your upload speed to your download speed as a bonus" even though every tier except the lowest one already had this for years (at least in my area).

It appears I had inadvertently installed a network "accelerator" app provided by my motherboard manufacture and that was actually throttling my upload speed.

For reasons not understood the 3 Sim decided to be non functional after a phone drop (oops). Time for the backup plan. Bandwidth uniformly crappy across the carriers round the M25 in rush hour in the rain (duh!)

Back at mums Everything Everywhere (EE) not too shabby

Switched our office from Comcast's 100/20 server to Verizon FiOS 150/150.  The Verizon is a little bit cheaper as well.

 

Just checked and there is still no FiOS service here.  

 

What are you using to test your speed Todd?   The last time I went to speedtest.net, it redirected me to a page to download MacKeeper (I guess I must have accidentally clicked in the wrong spot and must not have had adblock running) so I'd prefer not to use that site anymore.

No Fios here, in supposedly one of the richest counties in the states.

 

*sigh*

 

 

Shut up and take my money?

Shelly, speedtest.comcast.net and speedtest.verizon.com are both ad free for the most part.

Hey look at all the places it isn't available !

Visiting

Nice place to visit, but I don't think I could live ( or FPS) here.

That's pretty good for a hospital. All the ones I go to get maybe a Mb/s at best. It's pointless to even connect to it.

Switched up my routing game, mostly for stability reasons (needed to run stock Netgear firmware to enable cut through forwarding, otherwise my speeds were limited to about 250mbps, and it would do weird things every so often).  Now using a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite for all routing duty, Trendnet TEG-S82G 8 port switch with desktop, NAS, and AP hanging off it, and now that I don't need the netgear to perform routing duties, I have put it back on dd-wrt configured just as an access point.  Still have some tweaking to do, but so far so good.

 

Damn!   I wish I could do that, don't know what I would do with that speed but why would that matter.

This is still pretty good

 

 

The sad part is that this is an improvement.

^ At least your download speed is better than mine.

Ed Wood was suitably impressed by the "unofficial" LTE support I had enabled on the Nexus 4

Peter could trump this if he cares to post.

I got 93.76Mb/s in downtown Reykjavik on the 6+ last night.  43.17Mb/s up...  That's not too shabby... 

Don't even ask what I pay.

 

Smells like satellite. also, ouch.

I had satellite for more than a couple of years.  I'd suggest moving, or possibly suicide.

That's still half fast.

That's quarter-assed.

 

My ISP upped my DL speed at some point.  My UL hasn't changed in years.
