Hey Head-Case, what's your bandwidth like?

[cetoole]

My Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite has been rock solid for years, haven't had to touch it.  It was my previous router which couldn't keep up.

My phone now says 5GE. What ever that means. Not bad for fake 5G.

Just making sure it wasn’t skewed. Must be the signal bouncing off the trailer homes.

What is the ping like?

[naamanf]

I’m blown away by how fast 5G is in my house. As faster or faster than my WiFi

32 ms in that example which is the lower limit of what they advertise… I also have a WISP (Rise) and that’s much lower.. about half that amount.

I get around 500 mbps with AT&T in Austin City Limits and about the same with Spectrum.

My 5G and Wifi both push 580 mbps... a bit faster when I drink the right Paso Syrah.

Quite impressive. I was using the free satellite wifi on a delta flight yesterday and the speeds were similar but ping in the 150s.

We pay waaaaaay to much for XFinity wideband and cable, but it's reliable and if I'm indoors the speeds are pretty darned good (near the router it was 639Mbpd download and 41 upload).  

Our bigger challenge right now is my dated Orbi mesh system is getting glitchy.  I was looking at replacing it and they are quite proud of them, but Costco is putting them up for sale.  With my current setup I had to go and find a refurbished satellite so I could have one in the garage for a total of four around the house.

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread, but any recommendations on a mesh system?  Looking at 6 not 6E as I feel the E is too early yet.  I do not mind paying for quality signal coverage / speed.

Thanks in advance.

my orbi is getting glitchy too.  replacement is $1500. likes to drop the dns once a week.

i'm getting 1194 download and 24 upload.

if i get the newest orbi, i can get up to about 1600 download with top xfinity tier.

i don't need that yet, and then i would have to upgrade every switch in the house to 2gb or faster, and those are expensive too.

also looks like i'm going to get a atsc 3.0 tuner very soon. there is a chicago station now that is broadcasting 4k cartoons. 3 stooges in 4k is da bomb.

Not bad for a T-Mobile 5G box in the boonies during peak traffic

Wouldn't want to need to watch something in 4K, though.  Chelsea Wolfe's latest video started off as black squares and off-black squares...and her face.

1.2 Gbps down , overprovisioned to 1.4Gbps. looks about right. 2.5Gbps  ports on Cable modem, WAN/LAN ports on router, switch and PC over Cat6 will do that.

No Mid split here, yet, so still only 40Mbs up 😠

Still waiting for uncapped sonic.net fiber to get here. 😞

that is a lot of bits. 

It made me curious how my Musknet was doing. 

About as expected -- 

okay fast - when it is up. I have super calm weather this morning., so it can see most of the satellites. 

Putting it on top of a 33' pole has helped a bit.  but still have to deal with the on/off switch of it all. 

Streaming will always be an issue. When I really need to have a stable (mostly stable) connection, I switch over to my phone's hotspot that I have a cell booster (on the same pole as the Stardish) for. It may only give me about 15Mbps, (and only LTE)  but the bits are always there. Enough for a zoom or an Andy Sidaris movie when you don't want a drop out. 

[Grahame]

An Andy Sidaris movie buffering would definitely interrupt the narrative flow.

[blessingx]

But I thought Andy Sidaris movie buffering were compassionate cosmic mini-pauses to reaccess one's direction in life?

As with all things, no moderation is key.

Many thanks for helping guide our family movie night tonight--this will be way more fun than The Croods II.

Not bad. Finally have mine working okay.

18-69 upload? Nice (as the kids say)

[Grahame]

Comcast / Xfinity may have upped their game.

Previously  ( at 1.2 ...) 

Now

So signs are promising ...

And a bit later, we seem to be getting full potential

Sometimes living at the base of a volcano is a bummer. 

Seems that Verizon has deprecated band 13 (lower Hz - but had connectivity) for band 2 (higher Hz - but I get no bits).  I use to be able to get some bits from band 5 and 66 - but those are pretty much gone now as well.
