Post your internet speeds

Best I can get.

Only 15 up? I mean, most sources will throttle you before you even reach 150 Mbps, let alone 250, but only 15 up is terrible for such a package. I get more than double that.

I get 1 up. Still, better than the 256k I received until last year.

I know how that feels. Until late last year, I got 768kbps up.

All residential Internet packages in Canada offered by the big telecoms here are extremely asymmetrical that way. Has nothing to do with throttling, I just only get 250/15 Mbps in the package.

Our telecoms are even worse than what you've got in the USA tbqh. It's $120/month for this (and just the Internet, no TV or phone included).

I'm thinking of also buying a 50/10 Mbps plan from their competitors and just load balancing the connections.

I meant that most content providers will cap out before you hit 250 Mbps download, that's all. I know Steam caps out around 20 MB/s.

As for asymmetry, same here. We just don't get shafted quite so hard. Upload is usually set to half of your download. If I had the 300 Mbps package, the upload speed would be 150 Mbps.

True, single content providers can't usually keep pace, but I'm usually doing multiple things/downloading multiple things at once from different sources.

Test seven:


Test eight:


Advertised 18 down, 2 up.

These are actually the results of my seventh and eight tests, I've seen download speed spike to about 16mbps and upload to about 5mbps on two separate tests. So much stuff needs to be fixed... ugh.

Google plz, I need you. You're my (state's) only hope.

Doob Post.

So my internet has been slow and shit lately. I bought a new wireless router and adapter (since I'm too far away to use ethernet and our house doesn't have it in the walls) in hopes that old hardware was the issue. No change. I then remembered my phone - iPhone5 on an unlimited data plan - has hotspot and I can do it through USB exclusively. So I did.

WOW! Internet:


T-mobile Internet:


I guess until we change ISPs, I'm using my phone for internet things because fuuuck WideOpenWest. Bucha sluts.

Who do you have for your unlimited? I had to do that in college because of our internet in our apartment being total shit. Verizon would throttle my connection speeds regularly after using too much data.
