Comparing Internet Speeds

[Paytend01]

How do i compare my internet speed to the rest of the U.S? I have seen the graphs but never knew where they are from. 

 

On speed test.net my wifi runs at 14 ping, 170 megabits/s download and around 25-30 upload

Well compare with the graphs

Heh… they aren't outdated in only a few months' time. American internet moves at a glacial pace. I can only speak for my own experience, but I've had maybe 2–5 Mb/s increase in my download bandwidth and probably no change in my upload bandwidth in nearly 10 years (or whenever it was Time Warner bought Adelphia, lol).

 

My guess is that your connection at 170 Mbps down and 25–30 Mbps up is in the upper 5–10% of American internet connections, and I am highly jealous. My connection is 15 Mb/s down and 1 Mb/s up.

My old house like 3-4 months ago had around your speed and now we have this, thats why I was wondering.

This is FiOS in the North Virginia area to the DC server about 35 miles up the road.  I usually get 160+ Mb/s down and up, but it seems a little low this morning.  Ping is always in the 2ms to 3ms to servers in the North Virginia / DC area.  

 

**I talked to the FiOS tech that stopped by about a week ago to fix my connection and he advised that Gigabit is coming to this area shortly!!

Indeed!  

 

That hurt my feelings until I looked at my signature.  I feel much better now.

Agreed.  Speed aside, the latency is insanely good!!
