Our Internet got faster again thanks to my Dad writing a serious Email to our ISP and us upgrading to a new Router 😎

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

I have google fiber but I am not sure what's going on here since my PC only has a gigabit network card. I've seen tests go as high as 1.6 Gbps! Not compaining, just wondering if anyone has any explanation.

For me the "mad speedz" began with upgrade from 1mbps to 10mbps - "insane"

I edit my posts more often than not

Download speed is fast (enough).

Upload speed leaves something to be desired.

I wouldn't mind 100 up 50 down.

Virgin Media Baby!

Now this is good speed, but the premium is like 50% of my cable bill £97 per month with TV and phone package. Also the upload speed is terrible in comparison to other providers.

For some reason, Ookla Speedtest produces results which are clearly completely wrong for my connection. I get something ridiculous (I think it was 2 down 0.15 up last time I tried) but in reality it actually feels very responsive and snappy to use.

 

However, the Microsoft one produces much saner results which I think are significantly more representative of what the connection feels like to use, and also the download speeds I get:

Still not great, I know, but it does the job.

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.
