What's your internet speed on your current device?

Posted by David (aka David) Jul 7 '24, 17:29

This is because a Dan Ryburn conversation about 300mb internet.

Upstairs in the far bedroom with the closed door, we get 171.9 download and 110.3 upload. It's about 5X that right by the router downstairs, but we don't truly get 1 gig even though that's what we pay for.

50 down /20 up. Fibre is about 1 month away from being active -- nm - Karl_S Jul 7, 18:12 2
- Do you have any issues at that speed? -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:18 1
  - All the time. WFH and steaming don't mix very well. -- nm - Karl_S Jul 7, 19:30
397 down, 24 up -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 18:08
101 down, 97 up -- nm - mud Jul 7, 17:57
120 down 20 up. I downgraded my service when the connectivity program ran out of money. - Qale Jul 7, 17:55
26 down, 20 up. National Broadband Network indeed. -- nm - mafic Jul 7, 17:52 2
- Same question as above. -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:18 1
  - Almost always fine. Sometimes annoying for big work files. I imagine could be an issue if everyone was streaming at the same time. - mafic Jul 7, 18:31
351 down and 12 up. I'm streaming a show on Plex from my friend's server at the moment. Not sure if that matters. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 17:43 5
- Ooh, tangent. Is your friend's server local? I'm unclear on how this works on Plex. -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:19 4
  - Nope. He's in Connecticut. I'm not sure how it works exactly but I can see his server on my Plex and I can stream it to any device. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 18:21 3
    - Hmm, I've got a lot of stuff I could load for STers if I figure out how this works. -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:23
    - I have a lifetime membership for Plex. I can see his movies, TV shows, music, etc. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 18:23 1
      - Yeah, I do, too. PlayOn actually changed me from lifetime to $39.99 annually, but I use the service so much I ignored the obnoxiousness of it. -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:23
284.6 down, 239.1 up, ping of 7 (with a VPN running) - ReluctantCynic Jul 7, 17:41
Wired I got 900+. Encourage use of Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for faster DNS and noticable faster page loads -- nm - budice Jul 7, 17:32 4
- Yeah but google then know everything. -- (edited) - Karl_S Jul 7, 18:10
- Randomly, I just went through that on an XBox. -- nm - David Jul 7, 17:34 2
  - DNS speeds make a difference. Some ISP just have slow DNS and Google, half-way across the US, is faster response -- nm - budice Jul 7, 17:35 1
    - DNS Benchmark Tool that can be ran from home. Provides recommendations on fastest DNS and reporting -- (link) - budice Jul 7, 17:37
592 down, 128 up, but that's with a VPN on -- nm - prayformojo Jul 7, 17:31
