How fast is your internet?
« on: January 26, 2014, 12:19:41 PM »
I just upgraded to FIOS Quantum to see if I would notice a difference in my day to day computing. According to speedtest.net my numbers are great. Now I have a month to try it out to see if it really makes a difference over my previous 15/5mbps connection.  How fast is your internet? speedtest.net

I haven't tested in the last few weeks... But it normally averages 35 to 38+ Mbps download and 5+ Mbps upload...

I've used speedtest.net before... but prefer a couple of different other sites...

I'm busy at the moment, but will repost the links again later ( I've posted them back severalor more years ago )

I'm on Time Warner Cable, and only pay for the "up to 20.00 Mbps" package, so I can't complain..

btw, are you still not flying in-game?  I have not even unboxed what you sent me... Just a headsup incase you get that severe itch to come back

Houston, SoftLayer Tech. Comcast and University were much poorer.


Tokyo, World's Fastest Indian, again much faster than Alocac


My speed is rated to 20(24?)/2 and at the time of testing I was downloading updates to a fresh Vista install on another computer, my daughter surfing on a third one.

FWIW some 5 megs of download speed per user should be sufficient even for a HD movie stream, or at least that's what my former ISP helpdesk told me.

So they told me too when I had a 6Mbit connection. That meant that I could choose between watching TV or do stuff online - but forget about doing both at the same time. The IP TV absolutely raped online game performance which is why I simply unplugged the stupid thing. I'm pretty sure that even on a fast connection the constant stream from the IP TV will mess up the games.

Read it and weep although to be fair I am connected by LAN at the moment.



With wireless this is more common:



But I have seen as much as 170 Mb/s wirelessly.
