Now if I can just figure out what's cool to download.. 10 years ago that was 3 down/768 up. 20 years? 28.8K down and up.

Zoooooom!!!

Nice. I was recently looking at some new packages with similar down speeds. Crazy how fast things are now.
 
You have about twice the speed I do. I have the bargain basement plan though, what plan do you have?

Ok now ck that speed wireless. It wont be near that speed.
Pluged in direct to router you get all the speed you need. But the other way not so much.
Wish there was a way for me to get a direct plug into the box at my place, but I cant as the router is all the way at the other end from my main computer whick is what I always use. I rent and landlord refuse to have another hole drilled into the wall. So Im screwed:angry5:
 
I don't use wireless as my main two computers are wired. I only use the wireless with my phone an occasionally on laptop. Now of course to a further server is will be slower and over extended time periods xfinity will scale back and throttle your speeds down.
 
DSL blows here. We are switching to Uverse anyway I guess

I think I have the "paying out the nose" plan, but that is "business class". I have BC because of my work and having a "slightly better" SLA has helped make sure any outage gets pretty quick attention (although in the 9 years so far I think I have had maybe 3 incidents, none lasting anymore than a few hours). No caps too helps - I should ditch DirecTV again and go off grid for the savings, then just rely on hulu and netflix. Especially since their little tiff with TWC (that WeatherNation blows chunks!!!)
 
Yeah, that was pretty lame of Direct TV to dump the Weather Channel. We ditched them years ago and have been with DISH since. I can't wait to start Uverse for $59 a month, save a few bucks and better service
 
My download is slower than your upload. Good thing I don't download much.
The last Gov here tried to set up a national fibre optic broadband system but
they were a bit optimistic given that the dickheads were not capable of throwing
a reasonable kids birthday party let alone this type of infrastructure. Cost's were
blowing out to somewhere around $11000 per household connection whether you
wanted a connection or not. They did all the easy cheap stuff first where the households
already had decent fast broadband connections. Anything regional or difficult of course
gets left to last or with the change of government NEVER. The new Gov recognises that
the scheme was never affordable in the first place and have canned the expensive stuff.
Truley fast broadband is a fairy tale here in my regional area.

SLIGHTLY better but the UL is sick and the CL lady in Salt Lake agreed, even with copperline so I have somebody coming over tomorrow to check the line.

Here is my laptop connected via sketchy Wi- Fi:



Just heard a news piece on NPR talking today about how lousy US internet connections are in comparison to places like China, S. Korea and the Scandinavian countries. Fiber optic lines seem to be the key to the fastest speeds. I will post desktop speed shortly.
