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.

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
