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.

    • Universal USB Installer 2.0.3.7 by Razvan Serea The Universal USB Installer (UUI) is a powerful bootable USB software tool for creating USB boot drives from ISO files, perfect for installing Linux or Windows, running live systems, or building diagnostic toolkits. This versatile ISO-to-USB software makes it easy to boot from USB and create Live USBs for Linux distributions, Windows setup installers, antivirus tools, and system diagnostic utilities. Whether you need a multisystem Windows Media Creation Tool, a Live USB Linux installer, or an all-in-one PC diagnostic toolkit, UUI offers a reliable and flexible Linux and Windows bootable USB creator. Effortlessly carry your favorite portable operating systems and essential troubleshooting and diagnostic tools on a single flash drive or USB boot stick. Take your preferred Live Linux distributions, Windows installers, recovery software, backup utilities, and diagnostic tools with you, all bootable from a single USB drive.

To create a Linux or Windows bootable USB drive, you simply select your target flash drive, choose your distribution from the list, browse to the ISO file (or choose to download the ISO), and then click Create. Once finished, you should have a ready to run Live USB containing the Live operating system, Windows installation media, or system diagnostics utility, or advanced system cleaner tool you previously selected.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
