They started building fiber in my neighborhood, today they were actually running the fiber optic cable.

Good internet at last(Hyperoptic):

I dropped from 100/40 with a cheaper ISP to 50/20 on a higher quality one

Local server:

Texas server:

Main benefit is now i get that 50/20 globally, instead of 100/40 to locally hosted stuff and crap speeds elsewhere (like 10Mb uploads to youtube, 5Mb to FB)

I never trusted this site. It always reads WAY higher than my actual. I just DL a large game from steam,etc, & monitor actual isp speeds.

around here, thats a sign of a crap ISP - they provide bandwidth to the speedtest sites/their partners, and not provide it to everywhere.

It's kind of a summary of why net neutrality was a big deal in the USA, we already have that here with them not being allowed to give fast traffic to one place and not another (the shit ones still do it, but they suffer for it)

Works well enough where I live (depending on what you're connected to obviously).

Is that difference in speed policy or just crappy tech? I assume it's the former as the different ISPs travels roughly the same paths. Is there any talk about why they have the difference?

Here downunder, they have to pay for international bandwidth as well - so the cheaper ISP's pay for local bandwidth but cheap out on the international. Data caps are a big thing here, so many ISP's offer 'unlimited' at the cost of severe congestion (100Mb plans that average 5-10Mb to overseas content during peak hours, for example)

Some ISP's (like mine) have stood up against it and advertise their backhaul bandwidth for every state in real time, their average speeds for customers, and are publicly shaming the shitty ones.

That sounds horrible

This thread reminds me constantly of why I invested in 18TB of HGST HDD storage. It sure is nice having all my games at 200 MB/s transferred to SSD instead of 5 MB/s download.

After the constant hassling to move to NBN from Broadband, I changed over using the same ISP I was already with, this meant a change in plans only, and I pay the same monthly fee.
Now my internet feels a lot slower than it was before despite all the hype about faster speeds better connectivity etc. I suffer a lot more lag and drop outs now than I did before.
If it wasn't for them saying copper lines were being removed I would have been happy with what I already had.

 

[Mussels]

That sounds horrible

teething issues, we're going from the average aussie getting <10Mb to 50Mb+, so all these companies suddenly have to provide 10Mb+ per user, and the most popular ones suck horribly at it

It's nice getting back to fiber internet and my own Asus RT-AC88U router.

Seems like a high ping for fiber. Mostly on fiber I see 1-10ms ping, yours must not be a direct fiber, but just partial. The speed of light does not have a 33ms ping I know that much

The ping ain't a problem and I am on a secured vpn that's why ping is a little high.

That makes sense now.

 

[Ruru]

With 4G, this is pretty slow compared to the usual speeds what I got. Well, at least youtube and TPU works.

 

[LightningJR]

I can't really complain about my cable internet provider, other than price.

 

[Deleted member 178884]

Lucky UK people with hyperoptic - not even available in my area....

 

[27MaD]

Wired , home.
very satisfied.
Fastest Ping here??

 

[MrGenius]

I just got upgraded to some high speed package by accident...or something? All of the sudden(as of about 2 weeks ago) I'm getting this.

But I'm still only paying $20/month, and supposed to be getting this.

Beat that deal!

Are you sure someone in the house didn't sneak the top package in? All you lucky dude's I'm still on 2ish mb/s

I have had fiber in several locations (in Sweden) and all of them measure latency in their 30ms's. I have never seen any internet connection below 25ms, even when pinging stuff next door.

Besides it doesn't make a lick of difference.

In Poland had a 3ms fiber connection.


Nah it doesn't matter at all, I think it did give me an advantage in online FPS games sometimes though, lol

Nobody's owning up to it if they did. I'll find out for sure when I pay the next bill.

If they upped you like that that's crazy i think someone increased the package dl speed
