Computing New Wi-Fi internet speed at home

What do you have? No cheating now with inspecting elements.

That's your service provider?!


I'm in the sticks so all I get is fibre got max 300mb at the mo it was 4mb for a few years when we first moved here. Coming from Cardiff back in 2016 we where on trial with Virgin Media at the time of 250mb cable it felt like going back in time when we got here... Father in law in the city has a 900mb+ connection.


Wifi we use Mesh network internally so there's no drop out we have 9 nodes set up totally with a 200sqm radius give or take

Yessir, just switched from a offer we got when we moved here (about 300 down, 10 up for around 60 USD/month), now it is 500 - 1000 mb down & up for about 50 USD instead

It doesn't show upload speed, not sure why. Maybe need to get the app but I'm not invested in that enough lol

Honestly thought I'd be around 400mb

I'm too embarassed to post mine given all the fast speeds you young'uns have here.

In all honesty, it's mostly a matter of where you live and how close you are to the main fiber or whatever this is called.

Don't worry, my fiber is shit too, honestly got slower when I moved to more secluded area but I liked living there so... Honestly had trouble getting the connection in the first place

 

[Berry Scary]

Mine is shit. But I'm not paying for a particularly good provider so it's expected.

US ISPs are notoriously slow and overpriced.

Fun fact: the last time I posted in a thread about my internet speed, it was the last post I ever made on that forum.

What's crazy about this is that I have the exact same ISP as I did last year. I'm actually planning on switching ISPs since the current one is overcharging me compared to their competitors.

How much are you paying for that?

I don`t pay, but it is about $68 per month 1Gbps Up and 1 Gbps down fiber.
