Are you actually getting the Advertised Internet Connection Speeds? I'm curious what the actual speed differences are between FIOS -vs- Cable? I don't have FIOS, but I'm thinking about it. How's the stability, support, and speed? I'd also like to know, How Fast are the Internet Connections of the LockerGnome Community?
My quickest connection to the Internet is via Comcast Cable Modem & Wi-Fi Router. My actual speeds are better than advertised. GOOD LORD?! Full T1 for as low as $249 a month! Full T1 | Speeds up to 1.5 Mbps How is this a good deal?

My ISP says I'm supposed to have 6 mbps down, 768 kbps up. Close, but no cigar. 2
Your speeds are within specs minus overhead =0p... Try tweaking your connection > http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks I'm on Windows Vista, so not tweaking for me. 2
They're within specs right now, but that can drop below 4mbps during peak hours. Windows 7 here, shouldn't need any tweaks. Windows 7 here, shouldn't need any tweaks. Hahahaha you're a comedian, Leapo. In your Network Connection Properties window, try disabling the QoS Packet Scheduler and see if your speedtest is any better. Does anyone know why the QoS Packet Scheduler installs by default? All it seems to do is slow my internet down. |

This is the connection i am currently getting. I am subscribed to up to 10Mb Virgin Media broadband. Nice. Upload seems low. > http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks |

I'm subscribed to Verizon DSL's 3Mbps plan. This is actually better than usual. |

For anyone wondering I live in Hong Kong and if I am correct my internet connection speed should only be 100Mb/s... I have FTTB (fiber to the building) on a very long contract and it sucks becuase now the same company has 1000Mb/s contracts for a cheaper price!! 1
It was my dad who decided to buy this contract, and he said he would buy the new 1000Mb/s one if he wasn't tied in this current one. He uses it to download TV programs using torrent (legal in our country at the monent), I remember once the downloading was going so fast the computer screen froze and the HDD was making terrible noise as it couldn't keep up with the rapid reading and writing... The upload alone beats the shit out of mine.

I'm subscribed to up to 8mbps Sky Broadband in the UK. Not too bad to say it's relatively cheap. |
|
My speed is faster than my contract at this time of the day:
|
|
7MB Down and 1MB up. This is the Fastest package I can get and only cable no DSL or fiber optic in my area DSL is right up the road but not where im at. and this is faster than the highest package with DSL in my area.

What ISP do you have? I'm getting 2mbps... =(
2MB/s down isn't bad for being around farms.
To all those wondering why their speeds may be slower than advertised: 1. It may just be peak time - Your local exchange can only handle so much traffic at one time. 2. The distance from your exchange makes a difference - the closer you are speeds should increase. 3. The type of your connection obviously matters, newer technologies such as fibre optics will obviously provide a better speed. 4. You may be using a firewall/other programs which restrict traffic flow. 5. Using wireless adapters to connect to your router will also slow down your speed somewhat. 6. Try resetting your router to it's default settings and plugging the router/microfilters straight into the (BT) phone socket, and not into anything else before that. 7. If all else fails, ring your ISP - don't pay for something you're not getting or your local exchange can't support, find a better deal! :)
Good info for the newbies! They can also read up on MTU & other Network Settings.
FYI: Ookla is the same speed test engine that many use including Speakeasy & SpeedTest.net
