My city finaly got fiber for $60/mo for gig and $300/mo for 10 gig and $20/mo for static ip with rdns happening by the end of 2023.

Not the most happy with my install but I'm not allowed to drill holes in my 120 year old house where I want to place the modem.

I'm happy with what I'm getting

I use to be on xfinity and getting those speeds, went down all the time here in Colorado.

This is my UP/DW messured from my MikroTik router (RB5009).

I am working for my ISP so I know little bit more about my connection. I live in block of flats that has ADEX with 24 x gigab ports and 2  x SFP port. I have 60GHz MK station (the speed on that dish is aroun 600-700Mb if the weather is good) on my roof that is conected to AP (the speed on this is around 800Mb). That AP is conected via fiber uplink directly to NAT). I am paing around 12$ for that.

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.

Update: Upgraded that link to 300mb, and got a new 500mb in load balance now:

Latencies are screwed because it depends on which link starts off the connection.

Currently, the neighbors wifi is... (aside from taking a long time to load)

Not that bad!!

image.png.7f55fc623aa6ac61ce7c2cf9518b07f8.png

Main problems are inconsistencies. Aside from that, it's plenty fast imo. Just be stable & 99.9% uptime & I'm ecstatic with like a 30mbps.

EDIT:
lol

Ye, it's a problem between the CDN node and which link picks up the connection, as in it picks the best CDN for ISP 1, but uses ISP 2 to measure the latency, so each test the ping changes, see:

I actually have Symmetrical 2.5Gbps connection but its throttled by the ISP's garbage equipment.

My ISP just tried to make me change to that and I refused it since thas was going to move me from 500/120 with 4ms ping to 1000/60 with 14ms ping, plus no more public IPv4... which was a downgrade since I host all my stuff. 1000 is nice but not worth the downgrades...

Laptop I'm using doesn't have a gigabit ethernet nor Wi-Fi 6, so this is what I get with Wi-Fi 6 over 5 GHz connection on my phone:

Screenshot_20230509-004457.thumb.png.8c014cb60bf43dec78bc53740a67a355.pngSpectrum 940/35 plan. First time I've ever gotten over my rate over wifi. Speed achieved using a nighthawk cm2000 modem to take advantage of overprovisioning wired to a tplink be800 wifi 7 router connected to my Pixel 7 pro over an MLO band (I know It doesn't take advantage of it but you can use an MLO network as a dynamic 2.4/5/6ghz network with different security settings between your 6 and 2.4/5ghz networks as normally you can't merge networks with different security settings normally as doing it over MLO broadcasts as wpa3 and I have legacy devices connected over wpa tkip). Wired I got 1060 with peak of 1100 at 1245 am. But this was over wifi.

Two fiber connections load balanced: One 1000M and one 300M. Was transmitting backups to the cloud while running the speed test, which is why the rated upload speed is lower than expected.

Upgraded that 300mb to 500mb, now I have 500mb+500mb (on a gbit switch)
