What's your internet connection spec/speed at home?

[AdamD]

Just curious, what kind of connection you all have at home and the set up involved?

I'm on BT's "Up to" 80mb down, 20mb up, Fibre service.

The hub/router that comes with it, has Wireless A/B/G/N and 5Ghz AC options
They also supply a wireless 5Ghz AC dongle.

I get a really good connection, so consider myself quite lucky lol.

How do you get your result?
I am also on BT, I think it is the option below yours.

This is a speed test I did on my phone over WiFi


I'm on Plusnet Fibre, with "upto 80MB". I'm about 50 foot from the cabinet where the fibre is terminated, so it's pretty quick.

I am on the slow lane...

My stats for this month so far:



That's what backing up to my servers to the NAS at 03:30 does!

Lol, nice Matt!
Yea I'm about...maybe 40 feet from the cabinet I think, so I get good speeds
I was on Virgin media's cable service, but god that's a crap service now, at least in this area.
I wish BT would bring out their 150 FTTP service, lol...not that I need it mind you.

PlusNet were testing from FTTP but only in London / M25 ring area. 80MB is quick enough, especially for general browsing and media streaming. 4k media streaming might be another thing though when that's readily available.

Yea, my dad does a lot of...."downloading", so I need the fibre service, although I made sure he uses the private internet vpn service while "Downloading". 😛
Uses up a lot of bandwith, when I last restarted my hub, it was showing some 300gb downloaded in three days!

@Matt i want your upload speeds heh

 

[Matt]

FTTC speeds in the UK do provide a decent upload speed.

FTTC speeds in the UK do provide a decent upload speed.

Yea, 20mb up, seems to be the fastest at the moment.
I mean you could run a server from home with that sort of connection, not a busy one mind you, but it could handle quite a few sites.
