Gotta love free upgrades from your ISP. I went from 50/8Mbps to 101/35Mbps. Technically I should have been moved to 50/25 (they've been mainly upload boost but they bumped me up to the next tier along with the upload boost for free! (we'll see how free later :p))

I have optimum also. I have ultra 50 at home (can't beat 60/25 for $55 a month). I got a feeling eventually you will be kicked back down to the ultra 50 speeds. once they see they cant have that many people with 101/35

Guess we'll find out. I was happy with the 50Mbps speeds, don't really need 100Mbps. UPload however has been bumped to 25Mbps there as well which is a plus even though I don't really need that much. Came in handy the other day though since I started backing up offsite which I had to limit to like 512KB/s before, now I can run at 2MB/s straight! :p

OK, so first image is my real speed, second image is when using chrome extension "Zenmate".

 

I installed Zenmate recently to see if it would allow me to watch some stuff from US.  It did, and then forgot it was enabled when I ran the speed test so I thought I would see how much of a slow down I got.

My connection at work (did a student job for an ISP, they also host Linux mirrors and it was fun downloading from those!)

120Mbps, but limited to 100-ish since my UTP to WiFi AP is 4-wire and capped at 100Mbps. This is the fastest plan available from any ISP in Belgium. Download really isn't bad but they really keep back the upload speeds, which sucks.

Your Speed Result:

Download Speed: 57672 kbps (7209 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 26514 kbps (3314.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

:rofl:

 

I currently have someone playing Xbox in the other room, I have netflix going next to me with some Burn Notice playing and have 62 tabs open in Chrome right now and all sorts of other connected apps running checking everything from stocks to auction intel. So this can be a busy network yet it still does a bang up job at maintaining solid speeds.

Unlimited. Costs about $50 per month in total for both the Internet and the cable HD package.

I thought that was good until I saw some of the other results here. Just... damnit.

 

 

Don't worry. You are doing fine. As for the other results, I'd love to see what some of those would look like when tested across the Atlantic or the Pacific.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
