Grahame Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 I wish my town had gigabit service. Hell, I'd be happy if my upload speed would go back up again - I barely get half the advertised speed now for some reason. * "up to"
Salt Peanuts Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) * "up to" Oh I know it says that, I'm just sad I stopped getting the maximum advertised speed for both down/up which I was getting consistently until about a month ago. Not sure what happened. Perhaps it has something to do with my current promotion of "we'll match your upload speed to your download speed as a bonus" even though every tier except the lowest one already had this for years (at least in my area).

Salt Peanuts Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 It appears I had inadvertently installed a network "accelerator" app provided by my motherboard manufacture and that was actually throttling my upload speed.
Grahame Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 For reasons not understood the 3 Sim decided to be non functional after a phone drop (oops). Time for the backup plan. Bandwidth uniformly crappy across the carriers round the M25 in rush hour in the rain (duh!) Back at mums Everything Everywhere (EE) not too shabby
tkam Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 Switched our office from Comcast's 100/20 server to Verizon FiOS 150/150. The Verizon is a little bit cheaper as well. 1
shellylh Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Just checked and there is still no FiOS service here. What are you using to test your speed Todd? The last time I went to speedtest.net, it redirected me to a page to download MacKeeper (I guess I must have accidentally clicked in the wrong spot and must not have had adblock running) so I'd prefer not to use that site anymore.

Grahame Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 No Fios here, in supposedly one of the richest counties in the states. *sigh* Shut up and take my money?
tkam Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 Shelly, speedtest.comcast.net and speedtest.verizon.com are both ad free for the most part. 1
Grahame Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Hey look at all the places it isn't available ! http://www.fiberexperts.com/marin-county.html EDIT: and its only been, what, half a decade? http://mta.marin.org/index.aspx?NID=119 Edited December 15, 2014 by Grahame 1
Grahame Posted December 25, 2014 Report Posted December 25, 2014 Visiting Nice place to visit, but I don't think I could live ( or FPS) here.
crappyjones123 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Posted December 27, 2014 That's pretty good for a hospital. All the ones I go to get maybe a Mb/s at best. It's pointless to even connect to it.
cetoole Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 Switched up my routing game, mostly for stability reasons (needed to run stock Netgear firmware to enable cut through forwarding, otherwise my speeds were limited to about 250mbps, and it would do weird things every so often). Now using a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite for all routing duty, Trendnet TEG-S82G 8 port switch with desktop, NAS, and AP hanging off it, and now that I don't need the netgear to perform routing duties, I have put it back on dd-wrt configured just as an access point. Still have some tweaking to do, but so far so good. 2
Augsburger Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 Damn! I wish I could do that, don't know what I would do with that speed but why would that matter.
Knuckledragger Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Posted January 30, 2015 The sad part is that this is an improvement.
Salt Peanuts Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 ^ At least your download speed is better than mine.
Grahame Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Ed Wood was suitably impressed by the "unofficial" LTE support I had enabled on the Nexus 4Peter could trump this if he cares to post.
spritzer Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 I got 93.76Mb/s in downtown Reykjavik on the 6+ last night. 43.17Mb/s up... That's not too shabby...
crappyjones123 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Smells like satellite. also, ouch.
cetoole Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 I had satellite for more than a couple of years. I'd suggest moving, or possibly suicide. 2

Dusty Chalk Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Ed Wood was suitably impressed by the "unofficial" LTE support I had enabled on the Nexus 4 Peter could trump this if he cares to post. That's still half fast. Don't even ask what I pay. That's quarter-assed.
Knuckledragger Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 My ISP upped my DL speed at some point. My UL hasn't changed in years. 2
