How Quick Is Your Internet ?

philboy uk · 28th Oct 2012, 11:47 AM

I read a lot about mobile being slow, but I would like to hear what the average
Internet / Mobile speeds are in your area.

I am experiencing problems with my Internet connection, it has slowed from
a dismal 1.5 MBPS to 0.13 MBPS... virtually unusable ( this is landline )

I read about Mobile having download speeds of 4.5 MBPS , even up to 7.5MBPS,

My Phone is on 3G (iPhone 4S, we don't have 4G up here yet, I'm 2400km north of Vancouver

), and it gets around 350 - 500kbps download speeds in real downloads, not sure about the connection speed.

My Actual Computer Internet downloads (from torrents, or places like Apple or Adobe, where they have very good servers), at around 2 - 3 Mbps, again, not sure what the connection speed is. We pay about $160 / Month for Internet up here though (no phone or TV included).

Wow - thanks for ruining my day

I just checked here with the speedtest.net app and on my 3G connection, got 0.07 Mbps down and 0.02 up first try, second got me .07 down and .92 up and third try was .10 down and .03 up

I don't often have need to check so I don't know if that's normal, or if wireless just sucks today in anticipation of the monster storm about to hit the east coast.

In any event, you've got me beat!

$160 PCM for Internet, wow, that is about £100. We can pay as little as £10 PCM, maybe even less than that, for slower download speeds.

Well,, you have cheered me up

. I have seen some of the fibre optics broadband suppliers advertising speeds of 80 Mbps up to 160 Mbps

Google is offering (in only one city however) their version of Fiber Optics offering speeds of up to 1 Gig per second.

eternalsongbird · 28th Oct 2012, 01:51 PM

My internet speed is 460.8 kbps. It's not so bad.

d0rhk · 28th Oct 2012, 02:03 PM

Here is a typical test for me.

3G in Toronto

Connection Type: Cellular
Server: Toronto, ON
Download: 503.0 kB/s
Upload: 133.4 kB/s

Test done with the speedtest.net app.

Chris Reeves · 28th Oct 2012, 02:25 PM

For internet, I'm fortunate to reside in an area where Verizon FIOS (United States) is available and usually get speeds very close to the advertised 75Mbps (I think they have up to 150Mbps) on speedtest.net.

For everyday stuff it's overkill, but it makes a crazy difference for large downloads.

Sorry, I may have misunderstood since you mentioned mobile speeds in your post and thought that's what you were asking about.

Those numbers are still terrible, but with almost 24Mbps down and just over 4Mbps up on the cable connection and wifi most places I go, not having 4g really doesn't bother me much.

Jay Moreno · 28th Oct 2012, 05:45 PM

I have had a 4G for about a year now - just ran speedtest.net app and maxed it out am getting 22.23Mps down and 6.56Mps - thats incredible when you think about it- that's actually quicker than my desktop cable connection! (18.93Mps up/1.92Mps down) - i use mine as hotspot all the time for my ipad and laptop.

Really looking forward to the next 18 months when these type of speeds become the norm - it will have without a doubt a positive impact on mobile web development.

Wow, My land connection with 0.13 Mbps is looking really pathetic. Recommend if you live in Europe, avoid orange broadband like the plague.

How can they call 0.13mps broadband?

That's crazy - what speeds are you supposed to get?

You in a bad signal area?

liswilliams · 29th Oct 2012, 01:26 PM

I'm not sure of mine, but it's horrible, probably the worst here.

Dong Lee · 29th Oct 2012, 01:50 PM

I use a 3G network and have speed around 3.2 Mbps

doitright316 · 29th Oct 2012, 06:56 PM

100mbit download speed 10mbit upload. not bad at all

aaron786 · 1st Nov 2012, 03:29 AM

I am not sure but i guess it is near 300 to 500 kb ,and i think it is very slow ,

rising_sun · 5th Nov 2012, 01:51 PM

koolphoto · 5th Nov 2012, 07:30 PM

I have Sprint 4G in NYC. I get about 3-4 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps up. Verizon 4G is a lot faster here though. At home I get about 20 Mbps down and 0.6 Mbps up.

I'm using 3G Mobile Broadband. Just using USB Stick Modem. And the connection speed is 2 Mbps in Average. But it will be worst in the end of every month. I pay for only $12 every month for 6GB quota.

fiverrfreak · 7th Nov 2012, 10:09 AM
