Currently on Spectrum's 300/10 tier. Frontier went down my road laying fiber 1 1/2 months or so ago. Just waiting on them to  light it up , so I can try that.

Docsis 4 is needed for symmetrical speeds. I only know of one provider and that was back in December of last year. I think most other cable providers are still 3.1.

It's always been around 20ish for upload. We have Cable Internet. From Spectrum.

In the future, I want to move to fiber, but I don't really need it.

Are you asking me why the upload so low? I only have 10 Mbps upload and that's what I'm getting and all Spectrum offers on my plan.

The quotes are confusing me on who is replying to who? Imagine that, I'm confused!!

See who he quoted? After each quote he asked a question. Sort of easy to figure out.

I believe he merged his 2 posts. Forum does that if it's within like 5 minutes of each other.

Finally got FTTP (rural location), I don't really need 900Mbps download but had to get that package to get the 110Mbps upload which I do need. I'd have preferred something like 300/300 given the choice but won't complain too much considering I was on 15 down / 4 up before this :laugh:

Apparently they're upgrading to 10gig down/1gig up later this year so will most likely be taking that when it's an option but 6 months after moving to an area with actual decent internet and I still appreciate every moment coming from 60 down/8 up just before that. (for 7 years)

Ping could be better but I'm having to run via wifi being rented so pretty likely down to that.

1.5 Gbps/150 Mbps on my 16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro. Not bad considering it's one floor above my GL.iNet Flint 2 router (Wi-FI 6).

I finally made the switch to fibre back in August and I had to go hardwired. It's symmetrical 2.5 Gbps and I'm happy despite not getting the full download speed. I'll be downgraded to 1.5 Gbps this summer but that won't be too slow for me.

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By Circaflex · Posted

      I noticed this was already happening within my organization; my teams location will change between remote and on-site without me having to do anything. Is it possible this is live already for select customers?

      I wonder what it will show when I'm plugged in with my ethernet cable at home and not using WiFi.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
