What are your up and down load speeds?

Here's the test link:
Speedtest.net by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

Here's mine:



Is it true that going wireless speeds things up?

No, wired is always faster.

Used to be on FIOS so I had matched up / down of 75.

FIOS sold out to Frontier here and the service went to ****.

Had to switch to the local provider Grande.

Download is great but they do not offer upload higher than 20.

I'd take less down for equal up any day but end of day reliability is the critical decider.

I'll look at FIOS again in 6 months to a year.

If they got their poo together I'll go back.

From what I have read the USA has some of the slowest internet speeds of the 1st world. South Korea and Japan have very fast internet. We just don't get to have fast internet without paying a LOT.

With that said I am still amazed on a regular basis. I remember jumping up and down when my dial up speed got "really fast" and I could download a 1 MB file in "only" 12 minutes. Now I see updates that are hundreds of megs and they download in short order. I downloaded a ISO image file of a CD the other day that was over 700 MB and it was down in under a minute.

I'm in software dev, mostly gaming, remember.

Game builds ain't all that small.

Moving a TB of data in a day is not all that uncommon for me.
