What's your bandwidth?

I’m curious how my bandwidth compares to others. I currently pay $320 a month for Cable\Phone\Internet. Personally? I have a moral objection against Comcast. Their a monopoly that needs to be stopped… but I can’t change my fucking cable provider because NO OTHER COMPANY has lines that come into my neighborhood!

Anyways, to test your bandwidth, use Speedtest, and upload the photo (click share, but don’t copy the link below the image. Right click on the image and choose “Copy image URL” then paste into the photo embed as normal *this is for Chrome. I doubt anyone still uses anything else. Firefox?)

Anyways, also list what kind of connection your using (i.e Wireless, LAN, Bluetooth, Cellular, etc.) Anyways - my connection will probably be higher than most of yours due to the fact that I use a 500Mbps powerline ethernet adapter to stream LAN directly to my PC.

All I can say about LAN is… once you go LAN, you’ll never go back to wireless.

yeah ok

Why can’t I have good upload speed.

#5

Do you guys even game with those pitiful connections. Here’s my powerhouse of speed get ready to be jelly for realz.

#6


Same here Maxey. But my upload speed is worse.

#7

This is a good post.

#8

You see?

This is exactly my point. I bet he pays only half of what I do for Internet because Europe has laws against Internet monopolies. Is this a business connection by chance? At least that would make a bit more sense.

Anyways, how much do you pay per month for this jizz-causing, my now cum filled pants, connection?

This was wireless (from my laptop). From my PC that’s plugged in via ethernet cable, I get 100-110 down and I think 5-7 up. About $120 total for the internet itself.

Bandwidth-wise this is about as good as it gets on this connection, ping sometimes goes down to ~39. PC plugged into router via Ethernet, no-one else using the connection at the moment.

My suburb has no brownfields NBN work showing as planned on the rollout map, so I’m probably going to have this speed for several more years.

My mobile phone with 3/5 bars signal on 3G gets more than double the upload speed…

That’s how fast his connection is :ninja:

#11

Home connection.
~20$ per month when converted from danish kroner.

#12

It’s not actually Sprint, or at least it shouldn’t be. Some sort of local provider. But it’s certainly an improvement on satellite internet.

#13

Looks like I’m moving to Denmark.

I forget, because I barely pay attention to the moron that is our prime minister, but is the NBN still cancelled for future rollouts?

In my area construction has already started, meaning it’ll be finished, but if it’s still cancelled then those areas without it suffer. :frowning:

#14

Not cancelled exactly, but it won’t be as good as the original planned end result - instead of “fibre to the home” / “fibre to the premises” future rollouts will be “fibre to the node”, with the existing copper connections being used for connections from the nodes to houses. Not sure if the planned fixed line vs wireless ratio has changed.

This site sums things up pretty well (although divide the speeds on the left side by 10 for the top speed plan most consumers would have been able to get for the near future - similar to Jack Freeman’s SpeedTest result but with worse upload (probably an artificial cap))

#15

Last time I checked, I get like 20-30 something - MB/s, I guess.

#16

Just use the Speedtest thing, dude.

#17

Weirdly, if I choose the closest server, I only get about 15 Mbps down.

#18

Edit: Hit quote instead of edit.

#19

$70 a month for this and 1TB of online storage. I don’t watch cable, but the package with that is around 200 monthly I believe.

I have been trumped. :frowning:
