Is that fast internet?

[i_build_nanosuits]

Hey guys just curious what kind of speed people gets on average these days on the internet downloading and stuff...i'm usualy around 3 to 4 mb/s is that considered fast or medium or slowish or what?

i used to download old PC game demos that where like 15mb large at 2kb/s over phone line modem back in the day so for me this i find pretty fast but the games are getting bigger and bigger these days and it take long time to load so i dont know...

so how did i do?

It's decent, but not super fast.

I have simmilar speed. I think it is enough as downloading any kind of game doesent take much time. Also it is enough for watching 4k on youtube.

[MblaZe7run]

That would be considered slow, in my opinion. I get similar speeds using DSL, and around here, the average is about 30-40Mbps over coax. The FCC in the US wouldn't even consider your speeds broadband anymore:

EDIT: Mistook MB/s for Mbps, commented quickly while briefly looking, sorry.

how fast can download gets these days?

[brownninja97]

thats the same speed as me.

Broadband is 25mbps this is 40 mbps?

internet feel ''snappy'' indeed and i don't get lag or stutters in games and it's 100% stable and reliable...downloading 50GB games can take a little while though but i do it overnight so it does not really bother me...i'm just curious about what others are getting...thanks for your input mate!

[ZetZet]

how fast can download gets these days?

up to gigabit. so 100MB/s.

[Aytex]

for the people who get 1 mb up and down i feel ashamed to have 0,85 up and 0.34 down. please send help rip

[MblaZe7run]

Broadband is 25mbps this is 40 mbps?

I'm pretty sure that says 4.0, not 40

 

EDIT: I retract my statement. It's showing 4.0MBps, not 4.0Mbps. I'd still like to see a speedtest, because I thought Steam capitalized everything..

[TheModMonster]

Pretty good

HOW FAST? i heard a old woman gets 50gbps

http://www.thelocal.se/20070712/7869

 

Its fast for me i get like 750kBps

[DudeWazap]

It is about the average, But speeds are increasing now, I currently have 300Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload. 

[ZetZet]

I'm pretty sure that says 4.0, not 40

mbps vs MB/s know the difference.

[MblaZe7run]

up to gigabit. so 100MB/s.

Gigabit is 1000Mbps, or 125MBps. Close

[i_build_nanosuits]

Broadband is 25mbps this is 40 mbps?

the internet provider im on at the moment advertise my connection as being 30 MBIT/S down and 10 MBIT/S up.

and when i do the test on their website i do get those figures...but when downloading stuff from steam or whatever it's usualy 3 to 4mb/s down.

What do you mean? You realize that 3.7 MB/s and 4 MB/s equal 30mbps and 32mbps respectively, right?

[DudeWazap]

I'm pretty sure that says 4.0, not 40

4.0 MBps is 40Mbps. Remember B=bytes and b=bits...

[Prastupok]

how fast can download gets these days?

 

Well, my speed is 125 Mbps... or 15MB/s...

 

for the US it's fast, but there are people with Gigabit (120MB/s) or higher speeds.

 

[ZetZet]

Gigabit is 1000Mbps, or 125MBps. Close

In a perfect world yea. So I gave realistic speed.

[ManIkWeet]

This is megabytes per second, multiply by 8 for megabit per second, you got 32mbit/second internet. It's decent but definitely not fiber or something.

ok now i understand thanks for posting that son!

Yes that's what they advertise i'm on a 30MBIT/S connection...they also say it's fiber...i guess it's ''trottled in some way or another'' fiber...

[MblaZe7run]

mbps vs MB/s know the difference.

Look at my edit, I know the difference. Just going off experience where not only does Steam report false bandwidth, but I've noticed it to always do MB/s, and never Mb/s, where my connection is 3.5Mbps, and that's the max I've pulled from Steam, and it was represented as 3.5MB/s.

Yeah all actual download speeds in your web browser are rated in MegaBytes per second (MB/s), whereas network speeds (the rate your ISP sells you) are rated in Megabits per second (Mbps).

 

Easy to confuse.

 

@MblaZe7run you're definitely confusing them. The Steam Client clearly shows MB/s, not Mbps.
