    Download 16.4 Mbps. Speedtest.net says 41+ Mbps. Upload 2.9 Mbps. Speedtest.net says 4.1 Mbps Xfinity. One of the reasons my upload is so low is that my modem is only DOCSIS 2.0. Xfinity network is DOCSIS 3.0. Speedtest.net used a fairly local, in-Florida, test server. The other results are from an out-of-US server. Xfinity is a Comcast service.

    Moved from AT&T U-verse to WideOpenWest.

    AT&T U-Verse. Not too shabby for $30/month. Hopefully I can keep this in the new apartment dependent upon the quality of the phone wiring, otherwise I may have to get Comcast.

    Wow...Delton, MI. That's in the middle of nowhere...

    I thought 1.5 was the best I can do. Someone at TLAN said I was getting better than that:

    The dirty dirty irony of my situation right now is that my home net is an order of magnitude faster than my work net. This should not happen :(

    100Mbps connection to rest world, only limited by available bandwidth at other end.

  • aiboforcenaiboforcen Member
    Well I paying like 20 bucks for my current plan, they even have 300Mbps plan for like 35+ bucks and there are others ISP offering 1Gbps now, I'm satisfied with 100Mbps for now, coz it's fast enough for anything you trow at it.

    And the home connection:

    Not bad considering I pay for a 15Mb/s plan.

    Here they go from a 12 Mbps (which GOT 20+ frequently) to a to a 20+ plan that they say averages 23+ frequently. The 20 plus plan, which never reaches 30, is 8 dollars more than the 12ish plan. Thus I was encouraged to get a speedier plan-- their voice phone system now greets you with "Welcome to Comcast, home of the speed guarantee."

    (Sprint was cutting into their business when they had cable only and the online connects were open to weather while Sprint had fiber) I used that to get a new cable run to house from base of pole FREE. I think it might have disintegrated underground, as the summer rains keep it bathed in water and the lawn chemicals may damage its insulation over time. Old cable was 10+ years old, pre-HERE-hurricane.).

    I got spoiled and wondered how fast it would be to get Linux DVD ISOs and let the install run online, the answer is about 15 minutes for a Fedora DVD ISO of 3 GB in size to 3.5 GB in size, and online installs run about 20 minutes if the installer installs 1234+ RPMs on my newest laptop. Fedoira now also in background will auto-update in background if it has an online connect all the time.

    Just received news that Fermilab will be only one of four labs in the USA to have 100Gbps WAN. Yeah, 100GB and not just one link either. We are also working, in conjunction with these other labs, to hit the 1Tbps WAN in the near future (3-5 years). Our national laboratories working on projects that will affect technology of the future. Remember that... ;)
