Well someone didn't cap my internet!

So today I was staying up late like the usual and I felt like the webpages I was loading seamed to load a little bit faster than normal. So I headed on over to my trusty old pal I call "Speedtest.net" and I clicked that amazing button called "Start test" and guess what! The needle went blasting through the end of the speedometer and around and around it went. 1, 2, 3, 4. It was never going to stop. But it did, and it just so happened to be at 228 Mbps Download and 17 Mbps Upload. THATS 78 MB HIGHER THAN ITS SUPPOSE TO BE! I felt like the king of the world. I could download anything in a couple of seconds (I could always do that). But I looked down at the time and the default lame ass windows calendar said "2:42 AM". I was the only one up in my house. The whole neighborhood? The whole county? Holy crap, I'm going to become Nocturnal! This is amazing!

Probably your ISP allowing you to burst higher than your speed. AT&T lets me do that, but only like 10-20Mbps more than usual, and usually after 1am till 8am lol.

Ya, I think its mostly just nobody being on at the time. With nobody in the neighborhood using any bandwidth I get to use as much as my router can handle.

Sometimes I get ~125 and ~13, I pay for 100/10 so it's a good boost.

Usually I am getting ~115-120 constant with 11-12 up

 

I want to get the next package up but it is like 4x more expensive and not much faster!
