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!)

At home:

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.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
