What sort of internet download speeds are you guys getting
(out of interest)
I assume those a long way from main towns get low speeds like some of us here. |

I am about 8 to 10 road miles from the main internet building ( not sure what to call the place where all the equipment is) I assume that the internet goes along the road path as most of it is on power poles. I am on the same 'wire' the cable company uses for the TV and VOIP. They rate the basic service at 200 down and 10 up. I just checked and on 3 different places I get between 180 and 230 down and around 11 up. The town is small with about 30,000 in the city limits. I am about 40 miles from a large town of over 100,000. Very good speeds, especially as it sounds that you are a long way from the exchange. |

I can only dream of that sort of speed at the moment, but my speed is at least sufficient to receive UHD in good quality etc, so no real complaints. |

My laptop and desk top are on the first floor catercorner from the modem and the two thirds drop are what I recall from the past. I have an Ethernet cable now split to both. I was lucky to have had a consulting client that insisted on the cable as he did not want WiFi used when I accessed his site with his computer and he paid for the install. We also have Comcast's top tier internet and I'm probably spoiled with it but even some days there may be a noticeable slowdown. |

Nope, on the number of others on that channel and the wifi technology used. My laptop and desk top are on the first floor catercorner from the modem and the two thirds drop are what I recall from the past. I have an Ethernet cable now split to both. I was lucky to have had a consulting client that insisted on the cable as he did not want WiFi used when I accessed his site with his computer and he paid for the install. We also have Comcast's top tier internet and I'm probably spoiled with it but even some days there may be a noticeable slowdown. That last is seen when the service outside the house is over cable, but not with fibre unless they dont have enough bandwidth on the fibre. |

Used to be $40 a month but I lost the $20 bundle discount when I dropped the TV service. (Streaming is the way to go these days.) For an extra $20/month I could get 940/940 but I don't really need that much speed. |

No thanks, quite a bit of the time when uploading videos I want it done quickly because I am discussing the video with someone. We did that in the old days downloading a file with a 1200 baud modem. But you werent uploading videos then. Or having the system automatically backup to the cloud either. For most of us, that is done once a week or so, not five times a day. Its different now with automatic backups of new photos and videos and when discussing a video. Is it worth an extra $25 to $75 a month for it? It only costs me $20 a month more for 50/20 instead of 25/5 and I actually got 100/50 for a little less than the adsl2+ which only did 10/1 which was hopeless for video uploads. |

What sort of internet download speeds are you guys getting
wrote in message ... Your WiFi sounds like it's using the 2.4GHz band. If you switch to the 5GHz band you'll likely see the same 235/11 that you see on the wired computer. Not always, plenty of modems cant do the higher speeds on wifi. I made that exact change on my wife's laptop last year and she's happy with the extra speed. I used a $10 tp-link WiFi adapter that's about the size of a thumb nail, plugged into a USB port. I just tried adjusting my laptop wifi settings in Device Mgr - no improvement at all. You need to change the channel used and that isnt usually done in the device manager. Also logged into the router and couldn't even find any speed settings in their menus .. You need to change the channel used, not the speed settings. My router channel selections are Auto, 1, 2, 3, 4, .. 11. And that's what you should be changing to see if you can get a better thruput with a less busy channel. No mention of ghz .. You only get that when the router can do more than one band. The laptop Wifi has 802.11n channel width selections for band 2.4 and band 5.2 Those are the ghz. That's the band frequency, not the thruput speed. |
