These internet speeds have to be a lie.
So ISP commercial the other day, was promoting Xfinity from Comcast.
They said that Centruy Link's going speed right now was at about 57 MBPS or so, in the 50s range.
Then Xfinity said that it's high-speed internet was going for several times that, and showed what I remember was 300 MBPS. I spit my drink out and laughed, there's no way common civilian accessible internet of that speed could be available, I've not heard of anyone before that had anything above 100 even.
Fill me in here guys.

Modifié par Enlightened One : 3/30/2014 6:26:07 PMGoogle Fiber is 1Gigabit per second.. Which is like 750 Megabytes per second. I heard its cheap, like $80 a month. Imagine having a 100Megabyte upload speed from that? Would be beautiful.

I get about 6Mbps down and 0.3mbps up. It's alright, I can still watch youtube in HD. Netflix works fine and gaming doesn't suffer much because of it. When we finally move into an area with fibre-optics then it will be fun >:D Our ISP screwed us over for months and we were getting 0.01mbps up and down for no apparent reason whilst they charged us for 8 / 1. When they finally fixed it we got unlimited and decent speeds again. I have made them pay for it every day up until fairly recently. >:D Hmmm 40GB download? Why not. *delete* Redownload *delete* Rinse and Repeat.

5 commentairesof course it's available, it's just very expensive. you've obviously never heard of google fiber.

I wish I could get double digit speeds, let alone triple

Please Every ad promises 1000 Mbps and shit Never happens bro. Unless you're foman

3 commentairesISP's are assholes. They could easily speed up our internet and it wouldn't cost them shit. Internet is not finite. Luckily, Google is about to wreck everyone's shit from here to Argentina.

Well the United States has some of the worst internet in the world. I talked to a guy from Tokyo on my honeymoon last year that said he gets 400 for $45 American dollars a month.

Well most people are idiots and think that the number they see on the screen is the number they'll get. Every advert I've seen says you [b]COULD[/b] get [b]UP TO[/b] x speed but people just ignore those words and focus on the big number they're going to pay £30 a month for. And then they complain it's the company's fault when they don't get those speeds. Under ideal conditions you could get the sorts of speeds advertised but a lot of people won't get then because of factors out of the ISP's control, like the condition of the tech.

Edit: ISPs can't really place guarantees on the connection anyway (more-so ADSL - think about what the name means) since it's highly dependent upon factors outside of their own control (ie. transcontinental cables, server throughput, server bandwidth, etc...).

You're not confusing Mbp/s with Mb/s, are you?

My internet speed is about 10% of the actual package.
