Slowest internet speed?

that seems VERY bad, like dial up, apparently compared to even good internet in America my internet speed is above average, I would call this average for home internet. 

 

It just depends on what part of the United States you are in.  Most developed area have fiber available now with symmetrical connections.  100+ Mb/s with 5ms or less ping is fairly common in both directions.

Yes, over here we have fibre connection to very local DSL cabinets, it's rare to have more than 100 off a single box, I think they have several 10Gb/s links to serve so many houses. They're currently working to bring fibre the door in a new push for 1Gb/s by 2020

That's what I meant by fiber.  It's fiber straight to my house.  The fiber runs to an ONT on the outside of my house which converts it to Cat6 straight to my router.  That combo has dropped my ping to the first hop down to 3 to 4ms on average.  Very happy with it. 

 

Google fiber is also growing pretty fast here.  Once again, fiber straight to the house, but they give you 1 Gb/s connection for some ridiculously low price.  I wish that was available in my area, but not yet.  Until then, I'm happy with Verizon FiOS fiber.

I don't know how these people can do that. Everyone i know has internet of some sort and most high speed.

 

It called the country side.

 

Internet is expensive out here.  You either pay for dail-up or fork the money for satellite.

So, most don't bother.

I have my home network just tagged onto a server network I run, I forgot what I actually have, I think it's 150 down 30 up, with so much of the bandwidth at this point eat by things like tor, Minecraft and other file sharing stuff to friends.

Verizon tends to over provision as well.  I pay for 150/150, but always get 165 to 175 both ways.

So, I was using my laptop and I wondered to check how fast my internet was going, since it was being really sluggish. I went on Google and typed in "speed test". This is what I got.

$45.99 at the moment, but it goes up to $55.99 after 12 months. When that time comes, I've decided to upgrade to the 300/300 package for $79.99.

That sucks to hear as I was hoping that Google fiber would start to pick up.  Such a great speed for what it costs.

 

Luckily, Verizon has plans to bring gigabit to my area.  I'm already on FiOS fiber, but gigabit would be nice.
