So if you want to post your internet speed, do it right.
TURN OFF YOUR WIRELESS ROUTER.
Plug ONE computer into it with a cable and do the speed test. If you picked a speedtest site surrounded by ads for better/faster internet, don't be stupid enough to believe the results.
Even then, fice minutes later your results might be totally different because you get routed different every time or there may be 10,000 others doing speed test from the same server.
Nothing is sadder than some whiner reporting results when they have no clue the son is in his room running YouTube and uTorrent, the daughter'n hers doing the same and the wife's in another room watching something on Internet TV that she didn't want to watch on regular TV the night before. Which reminds me, turn your TVs off too if they're on the same pipe as your Internet.

   

I was home alone, thank you very much, and also, I HATE not being able to stream Netflix while my kid is playing a video game, while I pay for it.

Anything else to bitch about, Herbie? What I posted was the working speed the way I use it.

   

Ain't bitching, telling you how to do a speed test.
The fine print says what you pay for "at the demarc" which is where it comes into the house, not at your computer.
No shit, if you do Netflix at all you have to buy the premium Internet or it runs like shit.

Slow day here as we're on our old T1 until they get the fiber back up. The nimrods working on the new arena for the Kings took down our fiber link last night and hosed up our whole cloud, email, and file sharing system.

   

It's always the idiot with the backhoe, eh?

I know what you mean. Poor T1 on our DMZ. The OC192 is internal only.

Ok so there maybe one thing about living in this area that is good. It said 32.73 and there is at least one kid on line maybe two. Ok they may not be "kids" in a real sence and one of them is a parent but they are here screwing up the bandwidth

   

We had a 100Meg data link in the office and a $500 router to serve different wireless transmitters. If you hooked up wireless you got about 35Mb up and down. If you plugged in you got about 90 Mb. Just before I left they put in a $5000 Cisco router. Now you get 90-100 on the wireless circuits too.
So if you have kids all you need to do is buy a $5000 router to stop them hogging the bandwidth. And maybe $10,000 worth of training to run the damn thing...

   

Upload: 5.8Mbps

D/L: a sporty 31.8Mbps

Quality: Not enough info according to the site but no major complaints from my end.

Value: $2.54

Promise: 98%
