Looks like we're getting 305 Mbit/s, according to the speed test on my
husband's PC. This PC has a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet card, so that's all
I'm getting here.

Nice speed on your hubby's PC. Mine is 55Mbs down...12 up.

Not sure what you call a long way. 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.

Where I lived in CT I got 18 mbs through the phone company. Here in FL I
get 300 mbs average but at less buy times I've tested at 380. That is
with the cable company and all new wiring in the area.

Very good speeds, especially as it sounds that you are a long way from
the exchange.

Nice one. 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.

Guess it depends on distance from the modem. 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.

That last is seen when the service outside the house
is over cable, but not with fibre unless they dont have

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.

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.

The price difference does not usually justify the speed once you pass a
certain point. Sending an email will take .01 seconds instead of .001.
For most of us the difference is negligible for everyday use.

I get 390/390 symmetrical for $60/month. 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.

Right after a certain point you are depending on the speed that the
servers that you are connecting to can send out the data to you.

As I am mostly the only one on the computer/data stream almost anyting
above 10 mbps or whatever it takes to watch a you tube vidio is usually
good enough for my usage. The standard low end is 200 mbps so much of
that is wasted on me.

Fred's Gb's are almost certainly Mb's. Nowhere on the planet is anyone

Upload speeds are always slower. Just click "send" and go to bed. We
did that in the old days downloading a file with a 1200 baud modem. For
most of us, that is done once a week or so, not five times a day. Is it
worth an extra $25 to $75 a month for it?

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.

You need to change the channel used and that

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.

dunno.

40 down / 40 up ...
.. over home wifi , fiber fed ; 12 year old laptop and router.

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.

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. Also logged into the router and couldn't
even find any speed settings in their menus .. dunno.

worth an extra $25 to $75 a month for it?

I forget all the details but the team doing the computer animations for
the movie Tron were not in LA. It would take all night to upload a
ridiculously short sequence.

I was still on dialup when I downloaded the shop manual for my 2007
Yaris via bittorrent. It took all weekend.

You need to change the channel used and that
isnt usually done in the device manager.

You need to change the channel used, not the speed settings.


My router channel selections are Auto, 1, 2, 3, 4, .. 11.
No mention of ghz ..
The laptop Wifi has 802.11n channel width selections
for band 2.4 and band 5.2

Torrents are different, they dont do what the physical link can do.

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.
