Speed test today.....
- Thread starter EMS
- Start date
I would call them up maybe, for a 150Mbps service those speeds are shockingly bad, and your latency is sky high :/

That's a bit better...still not getting my full speed and I did one just before this one and it was 125mbps

That's looking a lot better though Droid, welcome back to normal internet.
I'd say the 2Mbps felt like old dial up internet

2mbps dial would have been a dream!
Our ISP uses the same Speed Test people. You get bored you can try it and see if there's any difference. *I'll be junking my current ISP because them and another company merged and are going to eventually get around to screwing around with our LONGTIME email accounts, renaming things to reflect the merger (takeover)
(down at the moment, OOKLA has been having some problems with their testing speeds lately, down again now.)
I'll be getting rid of this SHAW and going to PureFibre X.
Current connection test.

I went through the early days nonsense, early 14.4 connection I had to break the connection to phone my buddies to brag about the very first file I managed to download that was a whole 1MB!!!!!!!
"In early 1993, the fastest available modem was capable of transferring data at a MAXIMUM speed of 14.4 kilobytes per second (kbps), equivalent to 864kb per minute, or 51.84Mb per hour. The launch of the 28.8k modem in 1994 doubled this theoretical maximum."
*After the 2.4, 4.8 and 9.6 bps days the 14.4 was a monstrous jump. And won't mention the good old BBS Days.
Here these so-called Mergers are taking away your options for an ISP. the Fibre X (Telus) is determined to grab Rogers/Shaw customers which is actually working out for prices SO FAR. (always ends up a catch down the road)
So Telus will payout your 2 year contract if you're locked into one with Rogers/Shaw and their prices for the 3Gige Fibre are cheaper BUT, you notice little numbers beside PLAN DETAILS below. You almost have to be a lawyer with all the manipulation they can do when it comes to those harmless looking little "Details" ($115/mo SOUNDS CHEAP, you have to actually READ what you're getting in to) but, I am switching to Fibre.
Mine for the time being...
We have another company coming in with fiber optic... but they need permission from our building owner to put it in. Can't even get a price from them until that's resolved. I know they offer 1Gb (similar to what we're using now) and then, 2Gb Up/Dw... 5Gb Up/Dw. Doubt the wife will let me get the 5, but 2 sounds really nice. And.. I'd have to update my NIC since my board only supports 1Gb. My kid's computer supports 2.5Gb.

These guys and their Fibre X did directional drilling, horizontally about 4 feet deep from over 1/2 a block away and somehow manage to keep in a straight enough line to hit a hole they dug in the front lawn that was "maybe" a little more that a Foot wide, at best. Quite the technology. Once here, were able to directional drill, curving under my cement driveway and hitting a small hole beside the cement wall of the basement.

I'm not in the US...so those mean bugger all to me....we have BT, Virgin (on the ridiculous), talktalk, the one I'm on, most of the mobile phone companies offer their own etc etc....I pay £35 a month for my internet..no home phone, I use my mobile as my home phone.
Not in the US either, Canada
I'll try the Fibre X probably around Christmas.
I'll go with the 3G, and speed things up.

I pay $30 a month for 200 up and down on a fiber line:
I know about virgin on the ridiculous because I left them years ago and their utter failure to sort out all the drop outs we suffered and the funny thing is....they still haven't sorted out the drop outs and they said I owed them, which I didn't. I refused to pay the bill because I was having so many issues with them and I told them that too. However, like most corporate companies they ignore the users issues as long as they get their money. They're a joke.
Meanwhile in 'lil ol' Australia, the internet is so close to dead that speed testing is no longer necessary... Enjoy your rocket ship speed folks!
Looks Above!
Holy crap. What do you pay for THAT speed? And do you get anything close to that on a real world download?
GETTING CHEAP here, SWITCHING AT X-MAS (few hidden costs)
Already run right right through the cement and into my basement, snap the fingers at X-mas
