Running through a 500Mbps powerline adaptor.

Why, why must it be so slow. If I'm lucky, I might be getting 4 mbps, at the most (still too slow).
 
0.125 MB = 128 KB, so not far off. Downloads rates are measured in KB (at least in the browsers I'm familiar with) so I assume he's referring to bytes instead of bits.
Assuming

Sure, he made the mistake and not you (no sarcarsm).

Its like 100 times better when i am not in my room. Also my crappy computer may slow things. Display driver just stopped working WTF.
 
I think they got it fixed (DNS server issue). 👍

UPDATE 11th Aug:
Speed is quite similar with 0.54Mb/s upload and 45-60ms ping so here's a pingtest.

The position of a laptop lid can make all the difference. Since I'm using an external monitor/keyboard/mouse, I just had it closed and off to the side. Ever since then I was getting 2mbps down, 0.8mpbs up, and 35ms ping. (see post on previous page)

Ever since I've opened it, it's been much better.

One thing I don't understand is that for Speedtest, I'm connected to Richmond, VA's server, but Pingtest connects me to Washington, DC. :boggled:
 
So the internet at work is roughly half the speed of my home broadband.

Running on Sky Broadband Unlimited, it is pretty fast for standard broadband.

Here's mine. It's good enough. Just wish I can get a faster speed.

Man, I wish I had my company's speed at home. :(

 
Just upgraded my crappy Uverse 6mbit/1mbit service to slightly less crappy 12mbit/1.5mbit.
 


I'm having internet issues at the moment. It Sucks :(
 
Meh, I can live with that. Internet prices here are bloody expensive.

Can't imagine how it's like to have a 100Mbps. :eek:
 
Comcast recently upgraded their fastest tier to 50 megs! So as strange as this sounds I am going to DOWNGRADE my internet to 30 megs. Even their lowest tier is still 20 megs. Just insane.

With the Xbox One going to all dedicated servers, I just don't see the need for 50 megs. 30 will be more than enough and saves me $10.00 each month. 👍
 
On my new Galaxy S3:

... And we've only got 30/30 Mbit/s :D
 
I'm finally on an ethernet connection. Very pleased with the speeds!

Wow, your upload speed is so high :eek:

Holy 🤬 this is included in the bill for my uni halls as well.

It took them a week to make it work at all but man that's fast.
Edit. A few hours later it is much slower.
