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!
