Not sure how i got an upload speed higher than download. Mine is just the first tier from Verizon Fios. Have yet to find a need to pay up for faster service.

We have DSL w/ Frontier. I'm really not complaining as I just got a new MBP retina and it's damn fast and working great even with these speeds. Just did Facetime with a friend and it was very smooth and clear, no lag whatsoever. I don't know how to get details on the home network. Thanks

Cable however has even tighter distance limitations so they have to split out the neighborhoods or 'nodes' to be smaller. If you're on cable and getting that speed and your provider is advertising higher then something is either wrong with your cable run (ingress or interference of some kind). You should call them and have them check it out. Those speeds are low...

The problem also could be your home network - what's that like? Details...

I just did the 20Mbps VDSL thing with CenturyLink here in Denver. Quite a bit better than what I was doing before.

Seems to be slower than the amount of $/mo I pay for it

Cox cable at a service level that says I "might" reach download speeds up to 15 mbps!

It would be much more relevant to include what you pay per month for the service. Any speed is usually available, for a price.

sorry,

I'm paying $30 for the (18 down), (.8 up) that I posted earlier today.


I was paying $40 for the (2.5 down, .6 up) that I had, so I'm quite happy!

And, I cancelled my $80 Comcast basic cable.

So, I'm net -$90 a month for now. Very happy.

It's all relative, I know.
