Internet Speed

This thread makes me depressed.

My Internet is abysmal, topping out at 6mb/s. It's all I can get in this area, although if I drive just a few minutes cable is available and much better speeds through it. I'm looking to move because of it.

Gigabit or bust.

To clarify... The primary differences between the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wireless frequencies are range and bandwidth. 5GHz provides faster data rates at a shorter distance, whereas 2.4GHz offers coverage for farther distances, but may perform at slower speeds.

I think I need range extenders. My cable company, COX, does have their propietary brand called "Panoramic Wi-Fi." I'll try to convince Dad to stop by the Cox store in Chandler next weekend.

Yes.. If your laptop cannot capture the 5GHZ you will need an external (USB) wireless adapter

Thanks. I got one from I believe, no, definitly "MediaTech" (thank you, Open Devices & Printers). I am able to connect to the 5GHZ network.

I use a small ISP out here and get 400 MBPS download for around $52 a month. I could step up to gigabit but its around $65 a month, don't really need more speed.

House is completely wired so I have Ethernet everywhere, god bless the previous owner for putting a switch in the attic and dragging wire throughout the house.

Were you getting your internet via Potato?

Was it like Hughesnet or some shit?

This is at work, but home is even better. It's funny to see speeds posted in 2011 when the thread was started, vs today.

Finally have decent internet, and I think it's pretty good for only paying 40$ a month?

Just curious, how it will look like in 5 or 10 years.

Btw i see here here more than 300 Mbps, even more than 900. Do you actually need such speed?

Do you actually need such speed?

its great for downloading my games off Steam, etc. some of those things are 50+gig.

40$ a month? I'm living in the wrong province.

If only it was the entire province.

I pay a bit more than that for 30 down 10 up. Then again, I live in hick town.
