I'd be super thrilled to have your results! (I'm on satellite ... and, fwiw, I have *good* satellite.)

Xfinity, 50Mb service, Northern Colorado

A new neighborhood across a creek from me can get Gigabit service (1000Mb) from CenturyLink because they wired in fiber when they built the subdivision a year ago. My subdivision was put in about 10 years ago and no fiber.

Looks pretty sloooowww, but it is what it is. I pay for the cheapest broadband my ISP offers. It plays movies in HD without buffering, so what's to gripe about?

Jim makes the point I was about to make.

To watch a Netflix stream in HD you need about 5Mbs. An account allows 2 at a time so 10Mbs will cover 2 streams.

Upload gets your photos to shutterfly or your videos onto YouTube quicker but is not critical for streaming.

Latency is what your gamer cares about though it is important for Skype and VOIP calls.

Vudu HDX likes 8 Mbs or more and UHD4k wants a good 10Mbs. The only services with the latter are Netflix (with 4k service) and some YouTube and you need a 4k TV.

Basically my 25 Mbs basic service is all I need to pay for. Anything else is buying a Ferrari to sit in a traffic jam.

Time Warner standard service in Hawaii is now 50 mb download and 10 mb upload. However, using wifi, I get less because my computer is a few years old and the wifi card is out of date compared to my iPad or iPhone that gets a faster result. But, below is what my computer got.

Does anyone know what "jitter" is? I hadn't seen that before except on this site.

Googling it finds this: "Jitter is defined as a variation in the delay of received packets. The sending side transmits packets in a continuous stream and spaces them evenly apart. Because of network congestion, improper queuing, or configuration errors, the delay between packets can vary instead of remaining constant, as shown in the figure."

And the Speedtest site says: http://www.speedtest.net/articles/what-is-jitter/

Here is a pretty lengthy thread where people compared ISP speeds.

[Helaine]

Got a new modem that bonds eight channels together. It's more than seven times faster than before the change. Before it was 17 Mbps downstream (17,340 kbps).

Now I get:

Upload Speed: 11745 kbps (1468.1 KB/sec transfer rate)

My Comcast gets me this without fiber:

Download = 119.79 Mbps
Upload = 12.16 Mbps

Don't understand why the Upload is much slower than the REDHOT download?

I pay for the basic service, but recently Comcast announced they were going to double their speed for customers in the Twin Cities are. The fine print in the article said, the higher speed wouldn't take effect until the modem was rebooted. If you have Comcast, it might be worth trying to power down your modem for a couple of seconds, wait for reboot, and measure the speed again. My speed used to be about 28,000 kbps for downloads.

Since the heaviest traffic is on the download side, the carriers give downloads the higher percentage of the available bandwidth.

Its also to throttle the ability to run web sites or share files from personal accounts.

Hmmm, makes very good sense. Obviously there is a reason for it.

 

[SMHarman]

Asynchronous transfer of data allowed faster speeds without crosstalk between the two competing signal paths.

I think Liang Tai Wu of Bell Labs solved this conundrum.
