What's Your Internet Speed?

Time to bust out the speed tests!!! How many bytes are you sending up and pulling down right now? One great option to help you find out is speedtest.net but there are also many more.

Bonus points if you want to show off the hardware you are using to get those speeds 😉

6.9 Mbps download | 340Kbps upload

This is on a hotspot connection using a Redmi Note 7 Pro with an Airtel data connection. Right now my BSNL broadband connection is not working, on that I get around 1.5 to 2 Megabits/second. While downloading with the BSNL connection it shows around 150-240 kilobytes/second. The BSNL connection is through a D-Link DSL-2750U router.

I have Gigabit Ethernet with Verizon FIOS but don't get gigabit speeds 😉

Edit:

Here's the speed test photo.

And I also have 23 devices on my network so my speeds vary.

This one is at the office. I have a 4G dongle at home and the speed usually hangs between 45 to 60 Mbps.

Well, I live here: goo.gl/maps/1j2PiUjw843qMii77
So, it's hard to get cool internet connections (and affordable, not expensive af). The higher that we can have is 8mbps/s. Here at home we have less than 1mbp. Speedtest says 0.31mbps/s. And that's when it is working good!

Internet at my office. To be fair I tweaked the parallel connection options in fast.com to 64.

The screenshot below is the one with default fast.com options:

I don't get fancy speeds above 40Mbits in my area (old infrastructure) and the max upload speed I have ever gotten over cable and phone line is 3Mbits.

I switched to a cellular internet with a TPlink router that accepts SIM cards, and I get 15-20Mbits both down and up.

I pull around 920/920 at both my house and apartment, both with CenturyLink Gigabit Fiber. I also have about 5ms latency between the two locations, with file sever in one, and my workstation in another. Is freaking GREAT!

An FYI for those testing, if you have internet in this speed class, don't test using a web browser, as the browser will be the bottleneck. SpeedTest.net has an official Windows 10 native app, and that is significantly more optimized for CPU and NIC usage.
