This is just out of curiosity. How fast is the LTT member's internet connection?

 

I'm from Philippines. My current ISP is PLDT and I pay PHP 1899/~USD 38 for 20 mbps fiber internet but I'm getting a little beyond 20 mbps.

I don't know if it's FTTC or FTTN but nonetheless, I'm getting at least 90-100% service reliability than what I used to have with my previous ISP with DSL although I pay a little bit more from now. My ISP's current speeds aren't particularly mind-blowing for others but I'm more than satisfied that I can now stream 1080p and even 4K videos with very little buffering.

I tried using my phone sim card to my laptop and at the moment, this is the fastest 4G LTE speed I ever had. IMG_5507.thumb.PNG.02ec7b5a964ec999a1727862c8e4f4cd.PNG

 

How about you guys? Share the country you're from and share how much you pay and the speeds you are getting from your current ISP and probably a screenshot would be better.

 

P.S. I wonder how fast is the internet inside Linus Media Group? @LinusTech @Slick @nicklmg 

Massive flaw to the poll, most people don't know if the their internet is capped. I have 1TB of data, and after that, it's pretty costly. My Speedtest is in my sig.

I usually get about 950/950 but they seem to be having a bit of a bad day today.

 

I pay 61 euros but that includes a landline, premium hd channels as well as the full Fox Sports suite. Just internet would be 365 a year, or about 30 a month.

I pay $150 a month for damn 1/6 of that but good tv and shit

I have 75 up and 75 down. But I get more like 85-90 both ways lol. I have a TV phone and internet deal so cost can't really be calculated.

I had 7mbps a while back before CenturyLink upgraded their service around me. In my area (Seattle) they now provide Fiber up to 1 Gig. I got the 40mbps for around $40.

Current service is 15/10 Mbps Cable. So I get slightly more download and slightly less Upload(probably due to QoS in my router though). I'm fine with that. Got a 400GB cap though it's "uncapped" between 2am and 8am.

Paying $50.53 CAD, which when converted to USD, is $37.65.

Plan listed as 150/15 for $100. We did the one year at $70/month, but I can't remember if it's over or not. Either way, much better than Bell and reliability has been solid for as long as I can remember.

I recently moved, so I have the 1Gbps PACKAGE from Beanfield (1Gbps down/up for $100/mo). They are really great, although I do have a custom VPN in the states, because of the fact that some of my other servers have no public IP, only a private one.

I have 100mbps download and 40mbps upload with iinet and I get 80-90% of advertised speeds. Some websites are slower than others (youtube doesn't seem to be able to saturate my connection, sometimes I can't load 4k without buffering so I mostly just use 1440p), but overall the speeds are very good.
My friend also has a 100mbps connection, but with a different ISP Telstra, they get waay below advertised speeds, varying from 5-12mbps, although youtube videos seem to load pretty well.

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

my work pays for my internet but i host all of our offsite servers and most of my bandwidth is taken up by the work servers

i'm not going to put up my speeds mainly because i'm at work and can't be bothered to do it when i get home

but interesting to see what options people choose in the poll

might keep an eye on this post.....

****SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE*****

Been married to my wife for 3 years now! Yay!

Here ya go.  Here's my ping test while my other computer is sending and receiving data from the hotels I take care of.  Lots of info being sent back and forth at the moment but I can't complain.  

 

I spend 80 USD a month for 1 gig up and down with ATT fiber.  I used to spend more with comcast for a heck of a lot less speed.  I'm actually waiting now for my 2nd line to be installed for a direct connection to just the gaming computers for myself and my wife.

Have you tried a power line adapter?

Tried it but don't want to deal with it.  They don't work well enough for me personally.  I don't mind having another line put in so its dedicated to my home equipment and the other line is dedicated to my work and her work equipment.  On her setup the kids access her mass storage setup for there projects and to run my 3d printer setup here.  On my side its connected to my business and to my friends business information.  I'm the offsite storage solution for him.  I'm getting the new line for free basically from my buddies who need access to my work computers.

80% service reliability is really terrible, that's at least 73 days of downtime a year.

 

The availability of a system/service is often measured in number of nines (eg. three nines is 99.9% available in a year). Even the crappiest ISP should be able to reach "two nines" (99%) of availability. That's 87 hours (a little under four days) of downtime a year.

But next week I´ll have Fiber installed :)

That's why I said in the poll "greater than or equal to 80% service reliability" ?
