I just did the test and I have terrible internet, however it may have to do with the fact that I'm sharing it with 4 other people all the time...

As I'm not hosting servers locally anymore it is down to that. I wish I had the physical space to be able to put my server stack back up in my house with proper heating/cooling and get a 50/50 pipe again.

Yet that is definitely not what I am supposed to be getting...

Time to call the cable company! lol


Here is mine

What is considered good, and what is considered bad? lol Obviously mine is baaddd






Generally, I wouldn't sign up for internet slower than 30 (don't worry about the units of measurement, you don't need to understand them).

Comcast doubled the speeds in my area for free, I actually am paying for 30 but getting 60. Anything above 60 in America might be considered "Business Class".

Of course, what they mean is like home-ran business. Any real-deal organization will spend way more on their internet bill. I work at a college IT department and we have a network of about 2500 workstations and each gets internet speeds of like 50, even if they are all in use at once.

^Now that's Business class internet. Fiber optic cables between the buildings and stuff.


Also, people getting over 60 paying for "Business Class" internet need to look out for Google Fiber. It's only available in Kansas City right now but basically Google is insulted at how poor America's network infastructure is and they are just re-doing it themselves. Promising gigabit speeds (that's 1000 megabits and you only have 11 of those Ravynn) for around $70+ a month. Now that's a great deal.
