Your internet connection?

How can you stand 3Mbps download speed? It must take forever and a day to download anything. I've got 60Mbps down and 4Mbps up.

I've lived with it a bit too much, I've never experienced faster speeds Once I get some money income then maybe I'll ask my dad to upgrade.

So much better than the booty internet I dealt with for a long time. From 4 mbps and literally no upload to this is a mega difference

@Smurfybug, you should tell your parents (or whoever deals with the internet in your household) to call up Comcast and see if they can get a better price. You'll need to do some negotiating probably but it's worth it. Remember how I used to have pretty much the same internet as you? This is what I have now:

We used to pay around $40-45 a month for 3mbps download /1 upload which is obviously a rip-off. Now we are paying for the speed above at $25. (Keep in mind the only service we have from Concast is internet so your situation may be slightly different.)

Wow, how much did you bribe them for?

I'm currently in China visiting family. I'm connected to a VPN server in France.

We pay for the same service you do! Just internet. Exact same price as well. I'll see if my dad feels like fighting Concast over the phone anytime soon.

I tried running speedtest with my phone with 4G/LTE enabled. Couldn't take a screenshot but I literally had a 6 Mpbs download speed and... 23 Mpbs upload.

And then ironically people say we are wealthy as f:censored: and living in heaven condition. Of course you would say that if you compared that to Syria.

Check out my Ookla Speedtest result. What's your speed? http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/2080437350

 

[Pootis]

The speed used to be around 15 a few months ago and now it ranges from 30 to 40. Thing is, my mother didn't even pay for an upgrade so we don't even know why or how this happened.

For reference, this is what it used to be:

Not that me or my mother are complaining or anything.

I live waaaay out in the country and used to get 0.24mbps "broadband" until we struck gold last year and they ran an Infinity fiber optic cable along the main road nearby. Upload speed is still rubbish though because we are so far from the exchange or cab or whatever the Hell they called it. It's normally around 1.1mbps.
Still, I usually get around 15mbps download and everything I need to do works fine.

I've got one of the cheapest available packages in the Netherlands because I don't need anything faster (except when I want to upstream HD)

Cheapest package and you have 40Mpbs?
Poor me...

 

[Joey D]

So Internet in the Salt Lake area is pretty good. Shame I'm outside the Google Fiber zone.

 

[Bobert power]

This is from a local telecom fiber connection. Not too shabby?

Using the old router:

And after switching to the new one:

And its been the same for years. I don't get why its not going up...

Paying for 60/5, getting:

Not bad at all.

I'm being throttled at peak times to exactly 8.33 Mbps. Off peak is not much higher.

It's funny because a few years ago I was getting 11-13 Mbps. I guess as more people in the area are heavily using the internet the collective speed has gone down and the ISP's have put no effort into increasing capacity because they want to try and "encourage" everyone to switch to fibre.

I know how that feels and I'm not as remote as you but if the connection breaks it can take BT a week or so to fix it. :/

Provider says 150 up/down on the Ethernet and router. Not bad.

 

[Smurfybug]

The Wifi at my friends house. Ethernet will be a surprise, I'll post that some other time

 

[MuoiMassaq]

I am also using wireless modem without any cable.
Its bandwidth is 4MBPS.

I use to have Verizon DSL with only 3 down/ 1 up about 2 years ago. I could never go back to DSL after having cable internet. No more laggy online play ☺
