The below is about right. What I wouldn't do for that decimal point to be one place to the right....😅

Well this comes as a surprise. I pay for 50 mbps but I got more than double the advertised speed. I hope it stays this way.

Ping would be lower, but it's difficult to find a speedtest server that supports a 10Gbit connection in my area, so I had to manually pick one further away from me😉 Also the results from browser are much worse, so I used speedtest CLI for Ubuntu.

It's one of the bonuses of living in a new apartment that's included in my ISP's experimental 10Gbit network (they will roll it out to more places in 2022) . I pay about $28/month for this kind of connection and it is uncapped.

My ISP PLDT must've forgotten what I paid for, or they simply like me as a loyal customer, or they're afraid of their new competition.

I've been analyzing my internet for the past couple months, taking regular tests every half an hour. So far I've collected 5157 samples, which amounts to around 107 days of metrics.

 

Without further ado, here are my results:

 

Download speed histogram:

image.jpeg.de1aee20c914b173bc47e68269879e4c.jpeg

 

Upload speed histogram:

image.jpeg.4db1746f6c155889ccbedcc58868fa6e.jpeg

 

Ping histogram:

image.jpeg.859c97febe5dc049928977a85b669174.jpeg

 

Average download speed by hour:

image.jpeg.7c99f84c2b6da7f2619a2bf2f0bbe6e3.jpeg

That 80Mbps line is the minimum my ISP is allowed to offer me by law. I'm happy to see they're far above that.

It's nice to see how the speeds dwell a bit during the night, which I suspect is due to my family watching netflix and whatnot. Another thing to notice is how it never reaches the 200Mbps that I pay for, most likely due to my QoS settings on my router.

 

Average upload speed by hour:

image.jpeg.896f02ba11f7873eb5e71fc22ee17a13.jpeg

 

Average ping latency by hour (in log scale):

image.jpeg.7ef80d21d9145a4f88862bc3652cc4c0.jpeg

That's my favourite graph because you can easily see when my ISP usually resets my dynamic IP.

Changed ISP at the beginning of the year to go from 200/20 cable for $55/mo to "unlimited" (limited only by line capacity) for $35/mo through FTTS and 60m of POTS line running G.fast between street and apartment.

I've got my own modem, was getting a tad higher throughput with the ISP's box but it's got no bridge mode and its routing definitely wasn't suitable for my usage, it would crash multiple times per day...

back to 1/1gbit fiber here in Denmark, miss my old "gigabit.dk" line which was 5/5 and cheaper than this, but it is company paid..

 

fun how people don´t understand why you would want a fast line.. "you must be a pirate"..(arghhh?) i play games maybe 1-2 times a week, if i am lucky, and to be honest, EVERYTIME i need to download some sort of patch, and 30-50GB patches on f.x. MW(COD) there is just a difference of sitting and waiting for 4-5 minutes or 40-50 sec.. seems like a little, but it i still something..

 

I guess i am where if i could get a 10/10 line i would go for it, have the infrastructure after the 5/5 line, everything is 10gbit in my house today.

Symmetrical 500 Gbps up/down.

Paying just over $100/mo.

Something a little different for a change - I'm sat on a train (Southern Railway here in the UK if anyone's interested) and this is the internet speed.

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.

Standard LTE-Advanced speed, perhaps next year I can get a 5G phone but right now this 4G speed is more than enough because I can drive around in many places and get consistent speed thanks to 700 MHz and 2100 MHz 4G.
