I got 235 down and 11 up going to that link . I am rated for 200 and 10
by the cable company.

My over 10 year old computer is connected through about 3 feet of wire
to the modem/router. I have noticed that on my laptop and another
computer that is wireless to the router I get around 50 for the down and
11 for the up . The laptop is only around 2 years old.


Just measured 720 down and 40 up using Ethernet connection to desk top.
WiFi might be a third that.


I just tried the ethernet cable directly to my laptop -
51 down / 51 up ... I expected more improvement -
but I don't have any knowledge of all the technology ..
We can usually stream and zoom over the wifi with few problems
so I'm happy. Last week's return to home-schooling caused
significant widespread slow-downs on day-1.
