Gaming Internet Speed Comparison

[CommanderRedZ79]

I live in a big city, I just can't afford good internet. Also I live with parents due to being in high school. They still have the internet my siblings had when they graduated in the 90s

No, it's the SSD. To get 1Gbps you need more than a mechanical hard drive, but my current SSD is speed limited to SATA2 speeds due to my motherboard. And that's seemingly what's causing me to miss 300Mbps from my download speed. Or, at least that's what my ISP told me.

Your ISP is a lying piece of shit if they're telling you that your data drive has anything to do with your internet speed

 

[VinsCool]

I'm not complaining.

Should I ask to be stickied?

Gotta download that R34 and Hentai fast

For some reason I can only access the beta version of Ookla's speed test but I assume there's no difference anyways.

At a little past peak hours, so it's higher at other times in the day. Man, I wish Google Fiber would come to Seattle. I'd pick that up in a heartbeat.

I have no complaints.

 

[.:drk_drgn:.]

Decent.

Huh, same ISP as me it seems, wish I had Google Fiber, but they won't bring it in this city because the higher ups are stingy little punks lol

Keep in mind Ethernet v. Wireless & Router speeds matter, too. We both probably have the same plan, too, since our speeds are kinda similar.

And gosh, don't you hate it when cities get lobbied by crappier ISPs?

Well yes, it's annoying, I used to live in the town next to the one I live here in an apartment complex, and that city has Google Fiber, and is one of the few cities that actually has it; this city has the infrastructure, they just don't want to sell it to Google and if someone wants it bad enough for an area, they have to pay a $3000 construction fee for them to come out and do what they call a "buildout" for a specific area. So yeah, it really sucks, but Xfinity is better than the alternative ISPs in this town.

Using a wireless router/modem combo with a dual band wireless adapter since I have my PC upstairs.

It's about the best we can get in my area for now.

That's a helluva lot faster than what I get.

I live in a suburban area. We only started getting that speed just recently (Year or two), because we were stuck with At&t and their "High Speed" DSL. It helps that it's 1AM and I'm the only one awake in my house. It really just depends on what happens where you live. Honestly, I think that cities should get priority for fiber internet, but there's the people that don't want that.

Huh... yeah. I mean, I guess if you rallied a bunch of support and got people across the city to pitch in? Dunno how well that'd work, but hey, worth a shot maybe? x3
Is the city charging you $3000 or Google?

And yeah, Xfinity is pretty good. Seattle has a lot of CenturyLink influence (Seahawks' stadium is called CenturyLink Field, not a coincidence). We have their 1 Gigabit fiber lines, which are just as fast as Google Fiber, I believe. Maybe I'll switch sometime. But yeah, that effectively means no Google Fiber in Seattle ever x3
Don't exactly want to switch, because I save more money with Comcast's bundles, and 1 Gig speeds are very expensive x3
My current speeds are sufficient and I've had no problems.
