Show off your speed

[CorruptHawkeyez]

Bricked my new router, so back to my old one. Bye bye awesome ping

Bandwidth will fluctuate throughout the day. I've noticed I get better pings and bandwidth during the late evening hours around here. After 10:30PM (CST) or so.

Speeds will, but Ping won't very much.

It might be affected somewhat.

Comcast home internet:


Verizon LTE:


AT&T LTE:


T-Mobile LTE:

Fastest yet!

HAHA I HAVE A WHITE SPEEDTEST PICTURE

I'm trying to decide wether I should mess with my router more (been spending all day trying to figure out how to fix the router to supply my advertised speeds) and maybe get an extra 1 or 2 Mbps, or potentially mess something up again.

And damn, that LTE is fast

Are you wireless? WAN speeds aren't typically bottlenecked by your LAN/WLAN speeds.

That wasn't what I meant, sorry. I'm saying that I get 30mbps internet but the router is only sending out 20. But I don't think its the router's hardware at fault (firmware?).

You're speed test shows 30

It did


After trying reverting to stock firmware from DD-WRT, then going to TP-Links firmware, and then Gargoyle, I'm beginning to think it is in fact the router itself at fault. I guess it's time to try to unbrick my new one.

Yup, get a new router.

I used to be elated to jump from ~20 to ~100, although now I am impatient any time it dips below ~80 or so on transfers and am impatiently waiting for 'dat Google Fiber'

I wonder why your internet speeds vary so much?


I also wonder why I'm getting such high pings when I'm directly connected to the modem.

I expected better from the line at work.

Could be the server you're testing on.

It's probably a number of issues, including your DNS and other people in your area if your ISP has poor QoS.

Changed to Google's DNS servers and the ping's better:

DNS doesn't impact circuit bandwidth.
