I really hate the ISP that I HAVE to use. The only other option in the area I am at now is DSL.

Plenty fast enough for what I want to pay for, I do have the option for 1130Mbps but I have no use for it as I only stream, browse and download PS5 games/updates.

Exactly the same here with Virgin. The download speed is fine for what I require, however I do find the abysmal upload speeds limiting these days.

 

I wouldn't say no to City Fibre if they ever get round to connecting our street up, 900Mbps up / down for half the price Virgin are charging for 200/20.

Was paying $75/month for 200 down/10 up. Got on a 2 year promotion for $39/month for 500 down/20 up.

I went from 30 Mbps upload to 150 Mbps for about 4 months. Now I'm down to 50 Mbps. My neighbourhood doesn't have fibre internet service, unfortunately.

Thanks for reviving this topic, I came across an issue where my speed was capped at 250Mbps and after two hours of Googling, the only thing that fixed it was TCP Optimizer. I am a little sad that I don't know what caused the slow down, but I am happy my networking in Windows 10 is back to full speed.

Still on a 40Mbps ADSL link here in suburbia. Mind you, my new phone gets ~280Mbps 5G which is nice

You must be right out in the sticks, if I didn't have access to Virgin Media then I'd only be able to get an estimated 8-16Mb.

First of all. Do the speedtest on your phone. If that comes out with the correct speed then try TCPOptimizer (link in my post above) it fixed my slow speed.

That upload must make your connection nearly unusable when you need to download something.

I tried TCPOptimizer, on the desktop here, with and without VPN, but no change.

I'm not able to test on my phone,

TalkTalk is a rip off.

Well, I don't do much downloading,  but I agree that I'm getting a raw deal.

I have TalkTalk business broadband, when I signed up the deal was "Up to 38Mbps", but I've only seen it at 20Mbps once in 18months,

I took a two year deal, so I'm kinda stuck till spring.

You may still have the minimum speed of service, I did a quick Google.

I've come a long way from 56k. No data caps either, I feel so spoiled. 😄

I hate asynchronous speeds that US ISPs love to impose. 500 down and 10 up, yeah that's some ######.

That optimizer thing is still a thing? I thought it quit being useful years ago. Used to use it myself but haven't in years. Glad it did the trick for you.
