Xenon Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I really hate the ISP that I HAVE to use. The only other option in the area I am at now is DSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopZ Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

tsupersonic Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) ISP: Spectrum NY State Was paying $75/month for 200 down/10 up. Got on a 2 year promotion for $39/month for 500 down/20 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted October 17, 2022 Veteran Share Posted October 17, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted October 17, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey_richie Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Still on a 40Mbps ADSL link here in suburbia. Mind you, my new phone gets ~280Mbps 5G which is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I'm not able to test on my phone, TalkTalk is a rip off. On 17/10/2022 at 12:05, SnoopZ said: That upload must make your connection nearly unusable when you need to download something.
