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.

This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11 as well as Windows 10.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
