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 😉

From my hotel room in Dublin a couple of days ago!
2 MB a second 😪
Oof! This is why I wanted to do this bc I think more people struggle with internet access and speed than many of us devs think and account for when we are designing websites
I do get my fair share of dumbly long lode times for websites, even dev takes about 3 to 5 seconds to load.
Here’s my current speed. For hardware, I’m using the Google Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System with 3 pucks positioned in my house for the best connection.

Gigabit fiber is nice, fast enough that my cheap home router can't keep up.
🔥🔥🔥 we have that at home and nothing beats wiring into it 😃
Time to build your own Linux router!
We get Virgin Media FTTH (Fiber to the Home), we only pay for 500Mbps so I am pretty happy with this speed. Also, 1Gbps+ is not available at the moment in my area.
We running two Netgear nighthawk R8000 routers, one as a primary router the other as an access point. Also, we about to install a new 16 port gigabit ethernet switch.
Wow
You're definitely winning this competition!! :D
Yeah my download speed is impressive, I only get 40Mbps upload.
There has to be others on DEV that has faster a internet connection.
forgot to mention this was over AC Wi-Fi 5Ghz
Goodness
Here's mine. I went on full sarcastic-rude mode on the phone & on twitter to get to this speed a month or two ago
About 77/5.
basic TV and internet at ~6mb/s for almost 90€ ! Welcome in Belgium...
Talk of Gigabit 🏎speeds coming to my area soon! Fingers crossed for that 🤞🏻
We pay R$ 59,99 for 25 Mbps (about $15.00) at Vivo (Telefonica / GVT).
Mine is currently 4mbps as Fibre to Home only became available a month ago in my area and I'm moving in any case.
It's a very important topic actually.
When you're designing a website to load fast on 500mbps, but I'm viewing it on a 4mbps or slower line, things could get really frustrating.
Not fast enough. Under 50 down
Very overpriced.
Big oof.
I’m sorry it doesn’t count, as it’s not in English.
Only joking, hahaha. I can’t wait for 1Gbps up and down. Tbh
I used to live in a village with 0.5Mbps download but moved into a town about 2 miles away and now get 70Mbps 🤷♂️
