anox195 Posted June 13, 2015 CID Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi All Souls, Well ladies and gentlemen, it has finally come. Internet speeds faster than your typical cheap 5 port hub, POE devices, and even too fast for some of your laptops with older NIC cards out there. Behold, 300 mbps / 20 mbps - has finally reached into my area. Although, most webservers peak out at 20mb/s, and netflix only allows each device about 5 mbps from what I can see on my network monitoring. Evidence Below: Download: (on a good day I can get 320mbps) Upload: They complimentary increased our speeds because competitors in the area had 100mbps offers and also, I believe Google Fiber is looking to expand into my area ... I'll keep you posted. As for the obvious questions, torrenting (legal) stuff is infact awesome with the correct settings in your torrent client, I manage about 22-30 mb/s download rate in torrents. The upload speed increase also seemed to have increased my ping times by about 10ms in most games, such as League of Legends, DirtyB, Counter Strike, even agar.io At any rate, TWC MAXX is awesome! And after 2mo with no outages, I have nothing but great things to say. It is cable, so I know there are speed variances but a variance from 150mbps-320mbps is pretty nice for $69/mo.. Anyone else out there get there TWC MAXX upgrade? Oh yeah forgot to mention you need the right modem that can handle all the channels....

Evidence Below: Download: (on a good day I can get 320mbps) That's also faster than the read speed of DVDs (16X = 22.16MB/s) and most USB2 sticks! I cannot imagine anything like that coming to my area for well into the future. Most of the faster ISPs (i.e. 70Mbps+) where they are available require multi-threaded transfers to achieve anywhere near their rated speed, particularly fixed wireless ISPs and 4G. The main thing ISPs really need to improve on next is the upload speed. With all the hype over cloud storage/computing, the upload speed is the killer, not to mention trust with such providers.

Pgoodwin1 Posted June 14, 2015 CID Share Posted June 14, 2015 Pretty impressive. I'm not sure the Ethernet cabling in my house would even do those speeds. I think all my cables are only cat5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
