Show off your speed

Do they not have 4G or LTE there yet?

Not where I live, no. But apparently there is 4G in the centre of Norwich. I've yet to discover that though.

I do live in quite a rural area of the country (compared to where most UK users on here live) and in most parts of the UK you can't even get a decent 3G signal let alone 4G!

I'm sure I can get 4G in London though, so next time I'm down there I'll post a Speedtest screenshot.

Still love Comcast!

Insane... how much is that monthly?

I just ran this. The upload is more inline with what I pay for (30dn/30up), not as much out of whack like the previous tests. I'd like the dn speed a little higher.

This is with a VPN. Not too shabby. The upload could be better though.

Download: 16.75 Mbps
Upload: 5.91 Mbps
Ping: 37 ms

Not sure how to show this on here but it says

Ping 22 ms, Download 9.92 Mbps, Upload 0.81 Mbps.

Is that good or otherwise.

If you're using speedtest.net, run the test, click share your result, click the forum tab, copy, then paste the link in your post.

Download 9.92 Mbps, Upload 0.81 Mbps.

it's not terrible! Below average for the UK according to this, unless you're in a rural area.

I'd expect much faster for Southampton. I'm outside Norwich and getting 30mbps down, 5mbps up.

Pretty lame for a multi-billion dollar propane company's Internet connection from the HQ...

Free dorm internet. Wifi is a bit spotty but ethernet seems to be better.

So our internet package in the dorms was 20 down 5 up for free and you could pay more for better speeds. Well apparently it forgot about that because I just got this score.

How much does it cost for better speeds?

How much does it cost for better speeds?

I don't remember exactly how much but I know the next speed tier up was like 30 down and maybe 10 up for an additional 40 bucks a semeseter?

Edit: Looks like 30/10 for $15 or 50/20 for $35. That's per semester. And I did another speed test and I'm still getting 95 up and down. Weird. But cool for me!

Double edit: Actually I guess it was speed testing an internal server for some reason because contacting a server close to Wichita gets me this.

That's not too bad actually, cool idea

Yeah if you're really a power user I guess the 30/10 would be good, and it's pretty cheap too. Even for me 20/5 is plenty since I'm used to like 7/2 at home. Wifi is pretty terrible though for gaming, pretty high ping.

Finally moved to my own place now able to upgrade from the 0.90Mbs at my old shared house

 

[Geoff]

My speed has gotten a little bit better, an extra 7Mbps download

 

[patricia3]

Nice. My internet speed is 2 Mbps

I've been trying to improve it with no success, I'm just too far from the exchange I guess.
