I have suspicions that my ISP sucks and cheats me out of my money. So I ran this test. My results -
Download speed - 334.66 Mbps
Upload speed - 91.03 Mbps
What are your results?
20 down, 1 up.
70.36 down, 12.19 up.
Comcast is many things, but slow ain't one of them.
We live in America where speeds aren't that great.
50.56mb down
2.08mb up
And I ain't paying more.

50/50 and it's pretty consistent. Can you people add price to that as I'm curious how the prices differ. I pay $15 a month.

Seems rather slow for me today, 38 down and 41 up. I've seen speeds twice as high before. :hmm:
Today I am 15/5. As of tomorrow my speed will double since i just signed up for a new package with Frontier. Lost the phone line and doubled internet speed and cut ~$35 bucks off my bill.

€30/month. It's 4G internet so I save by not paying for a phone line.
100/10
Not great, but it comes free with the apartment.
150 down, 15 up, though I seem to not get that every day anymore, capping out at 100-120. :mad:
I pay US$34 per month :mad:
47.13 down/18.66 up.
Feels a little slow today as well, though - the ping took 20ms which is about a third longer than the last time I tested it.
Of course, if I was using the laptop at the other end of the room the down speed would be over 70 (or it was the last time it was tested) which is faster than the service is supposed to manage IIRC.
Mono, what on earth do you do with speeds that fast?
Edit: Yep, that was slow. Just did a second test and the ping took 10ms.
65.07 down/16.92 up.
55 mbps down 15 (for some reason) up.
I get more than I pay for, but upgrading the cable DSL beyond this is just not worth the extra outlay. I'm holding out for optical fiber lines in the neighbourhood. Which mostly will be when I am blind, deaf and unable to wank to 4k porn on 120 inch built-in flatscreen over my bed.

The first impression I had with HD porn was that the girls looked worse. Because all her flaws are now shown clearly. I imagine that 4K porn is probably even less desirable. Some things are better left unseen.

I'm not at home to run the test, but it's something like this. Not particularly fast. Works fine for my purposes though.
1.51 Mbps down, 1.80 Mbps up.
Is this bad? I am using a netgear wireless router to Wi-Fi to this laptop.
Also, I never had my up speed being higher than my donw speed. this it kind of weird.

it's slow, but it depends on your theoritical speeds, i.e. what your ISP is supposed to deliver.

I've just noticed that my provider now advertises with 100 mbit/s up and down. Yet I'm still only seeing 50/50 even if they claim the update was automatic.

Router: Asus RT-AC68U is pretty good.
It's also $200 here. :cry:
Yes, that's the price you need to pay for a great speed.
Will a Linksys WMP600N be able to take advantage of that speed?
Wirelessly? AC protocols probably do it but then you'll need AC devices.
So I will need an AC device for my desktop?

Yeah. they are pricey.
There's a list here, I haven't tried any of them, but you could look at it:
http://www.cnet.com/topics/networking/best-networking-devices/802-11ac/ (http://www.cnet.com/topics/networking/best-networking-devices/802-11ac/)
Maybe buy one the cheapest 802.11ac you can find, and then replace the firmware with DD-WRT (http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index). Check their database first, to see if they support the model you want to buy.
You'll need a LAN cable to do the upgrade, but then you're good to go.
Otherwise, wait a little longer. 802.11ac is still the newest stuff, the prices will go down by year end, I'm sure.

if you are using a USB adapter for wireless access, that could be your problem. I don't think USB 2.0 can deliver much more transfer speed than that.
It could also be that your laptop has a 802.11n wireless adapter built-in, wich has a maximum
theoritical speed of 600mbps.
If you're connected directly with a lan cable, than that does not apply of course.
If 802.11n has a maximum theoritical speed of 600mbps then why can't I break 50mbps on mine? It's not more than 10meters away from the router, sure, there's a wall in between, but this is such an old building that it's probably just newspapers and some thin wood.
Interference is possible.
Your router is also outputting b & g standard?
Set to N only, but have a few devices on it. Sonos (though I think they created their own network), ipads, iphone, laptop.
Might be it. I'm really not a wireless network guy.
I've ran cables all over my house.

Here's a few things to try:
[list=1]
- Plug your computer directly into the modem (a reset might be necessary, unplug for 30 seconds, replug, wait for all the lights to be ok), go to www.speedtest.net and check if your speed is what your ISPs advertizes. A few tests in off-peak hours (late at night, early in the morning) might be necessary to get a decent reading. If you don't get the advertized speed, contact your ISP for a diagnostic.
- replug the modem to the router, plug directly into a LAN port. Do you get your full speed? If not, there is a problem with your router.
- Now with your wireless connection, try again a few tests. If you still can't get above 50mpbs, you have to consider a few things.
- Upgrade the drivers for your USB or PCI-E adapter.
- Upgrade your router firmware to the latest provided by your manufacturer, or ideally DD-WRT.
- Use 40mhz channel for 2.4ghz. If you have dual band router and adapter, use 5ghz.
- Remember that 600mbps is a theoritical limit. To achieve that speed, you need to be no more than 1-2m from the router with your wireless connection. The moment you get farther, or even worst, if you cross a wall, it drops significantly. If you live in an appartment complex with many routers and cordless phones around, your speed can drop even more.
From what I read here: http://www.speedguide.net/faq/what-is-the-actual-real-life-speed-of-wireless-374
50mbps for 802.11n are typical real-life speed for these devices. 802.11ac brings 1.5x-2x more speed, but drops significantly less when you are far from the router.
Thanks. I plugged in a cable and got the 100mbps connection without problem. It might be the apartment complex situation that makes it worse, there's at least 30 connections to choose from when I search for wireless, I can only guess how many mobile phones, tablets and laptops are close by.
I'll wait for a reasonably priced ac router I think.

possibly your best bet. You will also need a 802.11ac adapter, PCI-E or USB 3.0. When you do, ty the 5ghz band, it's faster at closer distance and also more resistant to interference since there are less stuff running on that band (some of my home cordless phones interfere with the wi-fi on 2.4ghz).

Cable internet just bumped us up from

Dl'd 200 mbps. Upload 10mpbs.
And no caps up from 300GB.
Still expensive though $130 a month.
I'm at 150 down, 15 up. Upgrading to 250 down, 25 up soon. Limits? Caps? What's that? :unsure:
kat, I could have gone as high as 300 down, but I didn't feel like paying that much... what I have now is so insanely fast compared to what I used to have that I'm happy as a clam with it at the moment. :)
