Share your internet speed

[Bastiaan_NL]

Recently upgraded my interwebs and lowered my monthly payment at the same time.

Those are the best deals! I'm looking for a deal like that at home, my provider upped the price and I'm not getting what I'm paying for

 

Upgraded my connection recently to 400/100 and it was super speedy for a few weeks, but now I've lost an awful lot of performance.

That's a lot less than what you are paying for.. Same with the internet over here ?

I am fairly convinced that the speeds are great when you first signed up for two possible reasons:

 

1. Most new connections have a settle time and for stability reasons, the exchange server will sometimes lower the throughput to get a fully stable connection with less errors. (This one is a fact however)

 

2. Its Marketing, they hook you in with great speeds then slowly make them lame after they have you lol.

First off, they seem to have been having issues lately (see here --->https://downdetector.com/status/spectrum/ ) Also,you may want to ck with different servers that speedtest connects with when it runs the test. Sometimes the "optimal" isn't always the fastest. I've had times when the 1 it usually connects to(50 m away) is slower than 1 I pick that's 400 miles away. I've also had cases where a speedtest server hosted by my provider 250 miles away was only half as fast as the one hosted by my provider that's 400 miles away. Ping makes a difference also. Try changing the server U connect to over to the 1 hosted by suddenlink in Amarillo Tx. That seems to be rather reliable for me. Hmmm,I just ck'd a dozen of the 16 chicago based servers & they were pretty much able to handle my 400/40 speeds(only 1 or 2 had issues with the upload speed) so if you are still having issues AFTER restarting your modem and letting it run up and restarting you comp for a clean connection to the modem,then I'd contact the ISP. Often a modem restart can help. Edit: Pics show difference in ping with "local=optimal @ 40+ and 17ms = 400 miles away:rolleyes: ) How to reboot your modem:

 

 

1. Shut down your device (computer, tablet, phone, etc.).

2. Unplug the power cord from the modem and your router. Verify you have unplugged the correct cords by checking that all the lights on the modem/router are turned OFF.

3. Wait 1 minute, then plug the power cord back into the modem and then the router.

4. Wait for the Internet light to turn green.

5. Turn your device back on.

6. Try connecting to the Internet.

lol, all at once Suddenlink has been cutting my service off completely every night around 6pm until 1-2 am for the last 3 days. During this time I have NO service at all,neither internet or phone. The other 16 or so hours a day I have FULL service at the Full speeds I'm paying for. Since this ONLY happens at night during what's basicly "Prime time" and I use a streaming tv service (sling) instead of paying for suddenlink cable tv I have to wonder if it's related.My friend in the same apartment building I'm in has no loss of service with his internet or phone during these times BUT he also subscribes to cable tv! Am I being targeted??????  They tell me there are "no outages" when I call.... Screenshots show reports from downdetecter.com Oh,I'm in Oklahoma for reference.Edit: It may be of interest to know that I have separate internet and phone modems both supplied by Suddenlink and BOTH go out.

I am out in the country but in a growing area.We got a speed update about a year ago.

[Avacado]

It ain't fiber, but it works. Pay for gig, but rarely see it.

Too many fast connections, gotta bring this back for those of us that live in the sticks with only one option for an ISP.

 

 

 

[firedfly]

We moved last year and were able to get AT&T Gigabit Fiber at the new house!  I'm happy to be rid of Comcast.

 

[BWG]

Can I just say slow and move on? Bonded DSL in a home surrounded by corn, horses, pigs, and cattle. Starlink hasn't released in my area just yet, but I reserved it back in February. 

 

As-is, which I guess is good for what it is.

 

 

[Diffident]

 

Network must be congested.  My upload is faster than my download.

[Bastiaan_NL]

You guys make me jealous with those internet speeds, but I'm glad I can beat @BWG somewhere..

That's kinda weird. If you have separate modems it's strange that both are not working even though you only use one of them to stream.. 
But that your friend doesn't lose service with the same provider is even more suspicious.

Do we have NSFW tags on the forums?  Or spoiler tags?  That image should not be shown without proper warning! Ouch! 

 

[Ducrider]

Well I guess it is kinda scary. Lol

OMG is your work using aol or netzero for their service? just jking, when I moved over to this side of town,at&t was just starting to offer their 6Mbps service where I lived.Was gonna upgrade when I moved but they where only offering 1Mbps on this side of town(had 3 on other side before the move).That's why I'm with cable internet now,faster speed.

 

[BWG]

That has to be provisioned to be slow lol

[PCSarge]

this is my temporary speed until my replacement FTTH modem comes, the 10G port is currently dead on mine.

 

this is on a 1G port 

[UltraMega]

I have an 800mbps connection, I think it's like 20mbps upload. Comcast, about $70 a month. 

[schuck6566]

Has anyone else been getting what I can only describe as microbreaks or stutters in their service this last week? Where the service cuts in and out just long enough to boot you off a server but not make the modem reset? Also fluctuations in speed? (I think THAT may have been storm damage related,with service having to be passed through fewer places for more people). Since I stopped mining,I've only had the service cut out 1 night now instead of three.   paying for 400Mbps down and 40Mbps up. My provider is Suddenlink, I tested against 2 different Suddenlink servers and look at the difference.They aren't that far apart either. That's normal results from those whenever I test.

[Minotaurtoo]

This is the slowest connection available with our carrier here, or at least this is the slowest they'd tell me about... they keep trying to get me to sign up for gigabit, but I really can't see me needing it.... ATT only offers 12 Mbps here, and WISPs only offer around 6... but these guys came by and said "hold my beer" then hooked up this god tier connection and acted all shocked when I only wanted the min package.... Spectrum is good here, I know some places they're crap, but here they are the best.

[PCSarge]

updated speed with working 10G port on modem connection is supposed to be 1.5gbps/980mbps

Thats insane. I have never seen a 1ms ping in my life until today.
