How fast is your download speed?

**Darth-Apple** · May 26th, 2013 at 5:41 PM

Personally, mine tends to be very inconsistent, but I tend to average 1-2mbps download speeds nowadays. It has thankfully been improving lately, considering I used to get around 0.6mbps just two weeks ago. Perhaps the cable company is making some upgrades.

What are yours?

Not very good.. 3/1. (that's 3Mbps download and 1Mbps upload)

Bright House Networks Turbo Internet, Carmel, IN:

20Mbps Download/24Mbps Max (usually 9-15Mbps)
2Mbps Upload (around the promised speed)

0.5mbps/0.5mbps

Finally, I'm not the only one with ridiculously slow internet Tongue

Mine went back down to about 0.6 mbps. Just when my hopes went up the cable company decided to give me more problems. Oh well. Tongue

I went down to 0.25 mbps at one point Sad

**Darth-Apple** · June 1st, 2013 at 4:49 AM

What ISP do you use? 0.25mbps is pretty slow, for sure.

Durfsurn · June 1st, 2013 at 9:17 AM

Its not the ISP. Its the 100 year old copper wire the information tries to run through.

**Darth-Apple** · June 1st, 2013 at 12:29 PM

Ah, well that explains it then Tongue

We have copper in our area, but since I'm in a newer area, it's not as bad. Bell in some areas is intalling Fibre networks, including fibre to the home. That delivers speeds up to 175mbps. That'd be... drool. Big Grin

**Darth-Apple** · June 3rd, 2013 at 2:46 AM

175mbps would be pretty awesome. Maybe I could actually download files that are 100mb in size without it taking like three hours Tongue

In South Korea, people can get a 2 gbps speed! Huh

Woah... speeds like that will put google fiber to shame in no time flat. Tongue

**Acko** · June 5th, 2013 at 8:56 PM

Google fiber gives you 1gbps down and up, except it's only available in Kansas City atm :|

24.65 mb/s down, 5.24 mb/s up. Pics or it didn't happen:

Nice upload speeds there. FiOS is where it's at. Big Grin

Here's mine:

**Darth-Apple** · June 6th, 2013 at 6:26 AM

That's a pretty rough internet speed there. How long does it usually take on average to load webpages?

Durfsurn · June 6th, 2013 at 6:29 AM

I think it is a bit misleading because even a intense site with lots of data only take 10 seconds. :/

But still >1 MB/s is horrible especially when I live less than 5 km away from the CBD of a State Capital
