October 30, 201411 yr comment_658535 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" Report
October 30, 201411 yr comment_658562 * "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).

November 4, 201411 yr comment_659073 It appears I had inadvertently installed a network "accelerator" app provided by my motherboard manufacture and that was actually throttling my upload speed. Report

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 Report

December 15, 201411 yr comment_664331 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.

December 27, 201411 yr comment_665914 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. Report
January 17, 201511 yr comment_668722 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. Report
January 18, 201511 yr comment_668827 Damn! I wish I could do that, don't know what I would do with that speed but why would that matter. Report
