I think there might be some growing pains too. It just came out and hasn't been advertised in my city yet. Its better than 300/30 though ;) I'm also unsure if I am taxing my router.

 

 

  • DaveLegg changed the title to Speed test your connection

118.7/6.0 (both Mbps) - MegaPath Washington, DC test server.

This is Xfinity's second SLOWEST offering currently (only Economy/Essentials is lower); I'm far from pressed, however - it MORE than cuts the ketchup.

Nope, welcome to New Zealand Internet! 

 

A big shout out to our Australian cousins with NBN - you know why!

@adrynalyne  Freaking SWEET dude.. That is just smoking.. 3ms response and an upload to freaking drool over ;)  Its a networking geeks p0rn to be sure ;) Enjoy!!

 

On a side note - we have a oc48 with CL.. that I have to deal with.  It is worse connection I have ever seen ever... It either down or taking errors..  It is the connection from HELL!!!  Took them over 2 weeks to clear up errors we were seeing on the line just recently... Finally looked clear before I went on pto on friday.. Just went down yesterday.. I was on pto but my phone was still blowing up over it.. Good thing its just a backup link...  But I sure hope you you don't have issues like we have on an oc48 which should be crystal/stable/etc..

Wow that is terrible. Is the line just bad? I dont know much about oc-48. 

Over the years they have swapped out equipment, they have changed cards they have changed paths.. Now some of the issues have been fiber cuts, which not much you can do about that... But when it takes them weeks to track down errors being seen its really bad.. We don't see the errors, escalate, we don't see the errors, escalate it even higher and higher - finally oh yeah we are seeing errors here.. Then the errors go away for a while, etc..

 

While on the other hand the primary line with level 3 has pretty much been error free and up constantly for the same years.. Funny thing is that level 3 and CL are now the same company ;)  The oc48 is sonet which normally are just rock solid.. This has been nothing but hell.. While they have agreed to let us out of the contract without penalty... Getting the customer to agree to change the setup and pay for charges on moving it, etc.  Has been its own nightmare...

 

I would have to recheck the logs - but the previous record without any issues had been 33 days..  It sucks when you get called at 2 am in the morning because there are errors being seen on a backup link ;)  But have had to put the thing into constant monitoring and vigilance because its just so freaking bad..   I sure hope that 2 star rating on isp on your speedtest is not something you have to deal with..  It is a screaming connection it looks like to be sure.. 

 

One thing I have noticed is have a hard time maxing out even my 500mpbs download.. But I have done it - had to do multiple sessions grabbing a 35GB tar file...  But was freaking amazing getting such a large file in a few minutes ;)

I dumped Cox.

We don't have that yet from CenturyLink up here in Queen Creek.  Is that DSL from CenturyLink?  If I had those kinds of speeds I would dump Cox too?  What are you paying for that?

It’s Fiber. I’m paying 85 a month without contract.

    • 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.
