Just upgraded our router and modem here in AZ and clocking nearly 60mbps now...


Curious what you guys are getting. With new technology I suspect a few of you will have gotten faster since 2013.

Mine's pretty much exactly the same as yours.

I just ran speedtest from two laptops that I have in my home office. Both have similar hardware specs and both are running the same version of Linux. The only difference is the first is cabled to a gigabit port on a switch and the second is connected via WiFi on an 802.11g WAP.

Gigabit


WiFi

My phone is a lot faster on my 4G vs my home wifi. That's sad.

Well, I upgraded after my move. Also doubled the cost. At least the speed did more than double. I can't say I notice it being much faster. I'd still much rather pay $20, but the cable companies are getting wise. People quit watching TV and are streaming, so they all are hitting you hard on just the connection.

Residential fibre, 100/100Mbit is ~30$ per month. We can get 1Gbit for 70$/month, but 100/100 is plenty enough (as majority of devices are wireless).

This is early in the morning when few in the neighborhood are on sucking down data as well.




For this I pay $65 a month. Google Fiber just came to the area. Of course TWC came out and said everyone was going to get faster speeds for "Free" so I will bump up to 50Mbps (in theory) - I wish I would be in the Google Fiber area and get a 1gig for $70ish bucks or at least TWC would drop my price to a more reasonable cost.

Mine is only 2.0mps down, .5 upload and 95 ping.
But I knew that as I only pay for the basic throttled service, $45/month taxes in.

I could upgrade to 5mps for $10 bucks more or 7mps for $20 more ($60+tax)
I live in a very rural dead zone, so that is actually really good for us.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

I think it's interesting. Imagine 5 years from now the cellular providers will be putting serious pain on Comcast and the like.

I was still on dial up until about 7 years ago, I'm in a rural valley that is a a total dead zone. even cell was spotty til that time. My connection is a WISP system, no cable out here. My nextdoor neighbour still has dial-up.

Funny thing is with no/low traffic I'm only 1 hour from the middle of Toronto.
