Basic internet research question.

[AndyS]

Tell me about your internet connection. The speed of your internet connection has a lot to do with how fast you can download files, see pictures, watch videos etc.

Don't need to know what type or service provider, just a general idea of how fast your connection is.

Specific to DU.

[Elessar Zappa]

[W_HAMILTON]

3. If people are wondering how to check this...

...you can usually type in "speed test" in a Google search and it will have a button you can click where it will test your speed for you.

5. On my laptop connected via ethernet cable to router, 128.1 Mbps download, 153.9 Mbps upload

On my wirelessly connected laptop, 44.4, Mbps download, 19.0 Mbps upload

6. About 400 Mbps according to to Ookla (Speed Test).

Honestly, as the internet cable provider has continually raised the theoretical throughput speeds over the years, I have not experienced any real-world difference as an end user once having a minimum threshold.

[Wounded Bear]

7. Download 235 mbps, up 6 mbps, 4ms latency...

so I fall into the "very fast" category, I guess.

Usually enough to stream video and video chat with no major problems on my end.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

8. We have Xfinity

950ish mb down, 25ishmb up is our usual speeds it seems.

[TxGuitar]

10. Also Xfinity

Download about 700, 38 up.
Whatever they are or do as a company, they have pretty reliable internet at not bad prices and I would only switch when you pry the bits out of my cold dead hands! Or offer something faster, cheaper and just as reliable.

9. 22.5 mbs, a bit less download

[Mosby]

11. 25mbps isn't very fast

It's not "high speed".

It's like early 4g speeds.

[AndyS]

13. I appreciate that but consider I live in Bumfuckistan Texas

and the at present the fastest available is 15 mbs so 25 looks good. Fiber has come to town (thank ya' Biden) and I'm on the waiting list for 100 mbs.

I takes 5 to stream from a streaming service (they build in a buffer on their end) and the same to download large images (20-100 megapixel). I'm interested in the image download capability for DUers.

[iemanja]

12. I have fiber optic

350 mbps download, 380 upload.

[Victor_c3]

14. 4g/5g, however fast that is...

Fast enough that I do whatever I want on the internet without any issues.

[boston bean]

15. 90.6mbps download 39.4mbps upload

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Download speed: 54.27--Upload speed: 64.01. Looks good! We have fios. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

17. When I Run The Speed Test...

...I'm about 30Mb download speed on WiFi and something over 50Mb if direct ethernet to the modem.
So, a pretty decent speed but not gig speed. That's really expensive!

[liberaltrucker]

18. Pretty good

[Celerity]

20. 1.2 Gbps (Stockholm, less than 20 usd per month)

I erased part of my IP address cuz there are randos and loons everywhere

[lpbk2713]

21. I just ran a speed test.

Spectrum is my internet provider ... 82 mbps.

[TheBlackAdder]

22. 1Gbps, No cap on downloads. I download over 10GB daily.

[Liberal In Texas]

23. 693.1 DN - 665.3 UP

Fiber baby.
Not as good as our European cousins, but decent.
