What's your Internet speed?

I live upstate NY, best description would in the woods. This is what my speeds are today. How does this compare to the rest of the world?

On my to-do list is locate the router closer to the street. I've heard this will speed things up. The less in-house wiring the better, is what I've heard.

What type of service do you have? Cable or DSL?

With Cable you could likely do much better. DSL does have tight distance limitations and if you're toward the end of the run it can be lame.

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 ran it again.



I find my d/l speed really varies depending upon the users in the house (3 computers) & the time of day/day of week. I could buy one tier faster but I don't need it.

Looks like my download speed is at the lower tier. Upload is in proper range.

I have cable through Brighthouse Central Florida.

Is this not unlike comparing "packages"? If so - my wee wee is a nano.
