Speedtest Thread

How much if I may ask? I've been waiting for an oled since 2005 lol. Supposedly you can run an app to fix burn-in as long as it's not severe.

 

Fiber all the way if you can get it. I get 4-500 down over WiFi and just about a whole Gig via Ethernet.

 

I get 24.14 down and 2.41 up on my home internet. It’s good enough to play online video games and stream PS Vue so it works for me. It’s also the only way to have unlimited data, the other provider up here has data caps on home internet. For the same price I pay now I’d have 50mpbs speeds but only 50GB of data.

 

I'd love to have a gigabit connection. Don't think it's available in my area yet. Cox charges $120 for it. Can't say I really need it though. Not like it's going to speed up the servers I get my data from.

 

It was 1500 on sale back in november. Havent seen it at costco for cheaper. If you check slickdeals, they are constantly popping up cheaper on ebay (usually authorized sellers). I just wanted the warranty from costco. There is a built in app to help with burn in, but ive never tried it.

Yep. I can get about 800 up and down on my fios gigabit if i wire to the router.

 

I’m waiting on LED until Samsung’s OLED technology is mature and in main stream TVs. It’s far superior durability wise to the older more issue prone technology LG is using. That being said that colour from the LGs is amazing and definitely awesome.

I’m lucky. In Canada internet lines are subsidized by the government. I live in a town of 7,000 but I have 300 mbps up and down. Gigabit by the end of the year.

 

Yeah oled technology is slim pickings right now. I went into costco and best buy fully expecting to decide on a samsung led tv as my next. But when i saw the oleds, it was like night and day difference. It blew me away.

 

Fastest I've seen in a while

 

I started working with larger files for some drone work I do. So faster internet was necessary.

 

I just signed up for Xfinity gigabit. I'll have to throw up a speedtest when they set it up on Monday. The speed is nice, but the price is
If Spectrum had covered my area I would've went with them again. AT&T tried to tell me 50mbps is faster than 150mbps because they are fiber.....
Spectrum was 100mbps and I tested around 113, no data cap, and was only 45/mth. ATT said their fastest was 50mbps for 70/mth with a 1tb data cap. Told me there's no possible way I go over that.
Xfinity is 1000mbps at 88/mth with a 1tb cap. overages were free for the first 3 months and if I needed more data it'd be an additional 50/mth for unlimited. Hope I don't have to go that route, but at least I'm only paying half of that and my friend's covering the other half.

 

Very nice! I get in the mid 800s up and down when connected direct to the router on FiOS. I try to keep as much as possible wired ethernet. Even ordered a ethernet adapter for the nintendo switch. Why they didnt build one into the dock makes me scratch my head

 

This would be nice right about now. Downloading the 62GB update required to play Black Ops 4

 

That’s my speed through my router and a single 8 port switch. Fiber to the router of course, that’s really the only service that can reliably offer those speeds even though some coax companies are creeping up with newer tech.

I keep my work and gaming PCs wired but everything else is on my Google Mesh Wifi. No point in wiring up devices that only need access to a few mbps for steaming content. I’m not wiring up my Switch, I think the download speed issues on games is on Nintendo’s end since at home I don’t even come close to hitting the bandwidth cap on my Wifi.

 

Good 'ol Comcast......

 

According to my AT&T app the 50 down 10 up plan is as fast as we can go in my neighborhood.
I can’t complain though, 54 down and 15 up is what I get on average with a hardwire connection, these two were just run tonight on my 5Ghz wireless band after I moved the router to a central hallway upstairs for better coverage.

 

AT&T pulled that with me and I went to Comcast/Xfinity and have 1000mb/s.
AT&T also tried to tell me 50mb/s on fiber is faster than 300mb/s on cable....
I promptly hung up on him.

 

I do miss having fast internet (when we lived in San Diego we had Cox with a 300/30 plan) but I don’t really want to switch from ATT right now because internet plus TV is only $80/month and it works well for us (for now).
However if we ever get Cox service in our area (the closest that Cox services currently is New Orleans, about 100 miles away) I’ll jump ship for them.

 

If spectrum comes to our area, I'll go back to them. Cheap for decent speed. It's no gigabit by any means, but it's also not ~90 a month.

 

Fiber or coax to your house isn’t the issue. It’s the provider and how they carry your signal from their APs to your door. In Canada for example, Shaw abuses their coax based network to homes because they have to privately invest in it slowly while fiber with Bell, Telus, and Rogers are partially public funded. In fact here the fiber networks are ultimately well regulated and open to cross traffic with sub providers so there is an incentive to create an extremely high bandwidth fiber network. In the US I sense that, because it was cheaper to run copper than fiber until this year, AT&T may of been not investing in the infrastructure to support to bandwidth they need in their lines while Coax providers have had relatively cheap upgrades. It also doesn’t help that American regulators don’t require open access to fiber networks and don’t subsidize the networks either, so coverage is fragmented and alternative sub-contracting carriers don’t exist to push the large companies like AT&T to be better.

Ultimately fiber to the door is capable of speeds that actually exceed the capabilities of the current internet (10 gbps plus) and coax is at least a full factor of ten slower, but if the coax network is better supported with enough bandwidth it won’t feel that way. If the fiber to the door is spliced into a 10 gbps connection over 100 homes it ends up being a pretty horrible experience which is what I’ve read is really common with AT&T.
