Bremon Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 We are on fibre now as of a couple months ago (screw you Shaw, never going back). We were at 30 down 10 up for $73 CAD. We are now at 150 down, about 40 up last I checked, and our ping is 2 ms (my favourite part is how little latency there is). $70 a month, but for 6 months we pay $50 thanks to wheeling and dealing at a trade show lol.

JMG Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 This is what Comcast says they supply me with for a monthly fee.. They even falsify the test data by writing code in their system to recognize when certain speed test sites are accessed and open up the pipe to show whatever your data plan is supposed to show... This is what they actually supply... At least until they rewrite their code to include this site..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Comcast makes me feel less annoyed by Frontier. Supposedly Bright House is looking to get out of this area like Verizon did, rumor is that they're talking to an investment company that might flip it to Comcast...so I can't even leave Frontier if I wanted. Maybe this means Google is planning on expanding to the area? Tampa is often a test market for tech so I have my fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tested on a dozen different sites and get 93 down 12 up on all of them (as average), testing on that one says I get 7 down. Now I'm not saying you're wrong but there's something not right with that test, my guess is they have horrible servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers from the second site match the maximum download rate that Steam feeds me, as well as any other direct feed I have tried. Also the percentages of feed rate are identical on two different speed plans I have had with Comcast at this location. If you run speedtest.com, Comcast will open up the pipe while shutting down all other incoming feeds and give a rate that they have literally fabricated due to the code in their web system. When the test is over, the datarates on "all" of the incomming feeds will return to the lower numbers in total. If you are using the test link on Comcasts site, YOU ARE BEING LIED TO. This is of course, my personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is of course, my personal opinion. Oh I'm sure they're tampering with results for popular sites, have no doubt, but I am not getting 7mbps. They're not stupid enough to fabricated to a factor of 13. increase by 10 here, 12 there maybe. I have one of the best routers on the market with about 15 connected devices in my home. I don't have cable so everything is streamed, sometimes simultaneously like Netflix, Youtube, HBO Go, PS3 gaming, Hulu, etc... That's not happening on 7mbps. 50? Maybe.

overanalyze Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I get about 30 down and 6 up. Spectrum(TWC). It was way worse but I just spent a bunch of time cleaning up my coax, put on all new high quality ends, relocated my modem and router, added an access point, and hard wired 3 devices to the router to take them out of the WiFi loop. It has made things better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could, but would be paying an arm and a dick plus it would be limited to about 10 gb a month, it would be through Verizon over their network. I have unlimited internet, it's enough for us, we're out in the country, at the end of the line and lucky to get what we do. I can't complain too loudly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have great speed through Verizon....until it runs out 2-3 weeks into the month and I spend the rest of my billing cycle in "safe mode" where it takes 20 fucking minutes to load a page.
