How fast is your internet? SPEEDTEST BOAST THREAD.

[LewisD]

Apologies for the Ancient thread bump!
We're having 300mbs FTTP installed tomorrow!

This is what we've dealt with for years:


Game downloads are finally going to be within my grasp!
Gone are the days of waiting 36+ hours for mere patches to download (CoD ).

With 300mbs down it'll be over before I've boiled the kettle, had a gooseberry fool and made tea.
Glorious!

I shall post the improved speedtest result tomorrow

New house, new internet.

strawberry float, that's fast

My speed is just depressing

Fibre to my building, I cut it down after my first 3 months to 150/150 as I couldn't download enough stuff to make 1GB worth it for the price they wanted (£60 a month, still almost less than I was paying BT before for a much worse speed).

Here it is now:

Not the fastest, but it does me ok at the moment...

I ran a test this morning and it was like 58Mbps via Sky.

After:


Not quite 300mb, but for £34 a month it's less than I was paying BT for 7mb!

That's a very healthy increase in speed.

My internet is around 18Mbps. It's adequate I guess.

The PS4 is only picking up 21mbs on its WiFi connection.
Might have to figure out a way to get a long enough ethernet cable to it.

[Tafdolphin]

I don't want to brag but...



This is my home connection. Better yet, we pay about 20 euros a month for it. Unlimited, obviously.

France really has its gooseberry fool together with this stuff.

EDIT: Just seen StayDead's speeds grumblegrumble.

Still!

Don't have much option to be honest - you get the provider that bought the contract for the building. We pay about 20 quid a month for this, and it seems to be fine for gaming.

[imbusydoctorwho]

Mines about 10mbs download and 0.8 uploads, been like it for years and huge downloads are a pain in the ass.

If your mains wiring is up to it, use these:

I think they use some kind of magic to work. Our wiring here is pretty old but they work fine, just plug them straight in the wall rather than into a multi-way as they can be fussy about surge protectors and the like.

EDIT You might want more expensive ones to get the full speed, I think these are for up to 100 Mbs, you need better than that.

Edit 2 : this one I think

So Sky has been awful for a while. Paying £50 a month for supposedly 80mbs. Struggling to stream on a device and get work done.
Sky keep sending me on loops to ' fix it ' for the past 2 months.

So looking for a new provider, currently looking at the m500 package from Virgin. Or should I replace Skys bogstandard router?

[kazanova_Frankenstein]

Ooof

70 down, 20 up here. Would like to get something a bit quicker but it does not seem to be an option in my area. Certainly good enough for my requirements though.

I'll be moving to a place that has FTTP. Looking o go with hyperoptic as you can have a rolling contract with them.

+1 for the "Sky internet is gooseberry fool" crew here.

[Rubix]

Not bad at the moment

[Jenuall]

Fed up of our internet being unreliable so looking to switch ISP. Talk Talk seem to offer the best speed and price but I've never been with them as a supplier, any reason to avoid them?

[Ironhide]

Finally got mesh wifi set up and the results have been great



Almost quadrupled the average speed of the Plusnet router

[Moggy]

Pathetic
