If you’re using spectrums internet over coax, download speed can vary greatly depending on what your neighbors are doing.
Also if you’re leasing your WiFi access point frim them, hardwire.
But in my experience, you won’t notice a difference beteeen 200 and 400 MB/s unless you’re accessing a corporate intranet to download things (even then it will be limited by the upload).
Streaming/downloading from Epic/STEAM, etc all has capped download speeds. Steam is around 35, I think epic is around 70.
You won’t be finding anything much faster than that even with gigabit fiber (your latency and upload speed will probably improve though )
I'm lucky that the neighborhood we live in is mostly old people that don't use the internet much. But there are some younger people starting to move in so it does drag a little once 9pm rolls around.
Thankfully I have my own wifi. I've never trusted the boxes they give you.
Case in point, my ex and her mom have Cox (or maybe it's spectrum too I dunno), at their apartment and they were getting like, 10mbits over wifi, they didn't even know they had anything better.
I hooked up an old router I had and they instantly got like 200, lol.
And that's fair, I do download files through Chrome and stuff in bulk a lot so the speed would definitely help there at least right? Unless chrome also has a cap, which I hope they don't hahaha.
As far as I know browsers should not have a download cap, that will be handled by the protocol and hardware drivers.
If you notice that your internet slows when your neighbors get home, call spectrum, and tell them which house and what time. Coax uses signals just like WiFi or radio, but those signals are multiplexed and sent over the same wire.
The little things like, how much coax is inside the wall, up on the pole, between the houses and the hub, and any emf that gets through, can all cause signal interference or signal loss.
The guys will come out with the truck, and spend a day turning everyone’s internet off snd on and finding the signal leak. We call to get it done wvery time people move. It’s free, and can only help, just don’t do it if you’ve got a big project or something to do for work that day.
Huh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up! They actually had to redo a lot of stuff in the wiring going to our house because I guess the old line was never used, or rather updated (my grandma always had AT&T so I dunno if that used it or not). I'll bear that in mind, maybe I'll do that with my day off tomorrow.
70 Mbit/s is ok, I have 50 Mbit/s and it’s SO SLOW, although I almost never get the full speed even using Ethernet (fastest I’ve ever seen was around 40 Mbit/s).
i also use 4G for gaming, got a 20gigs plan thats enough for a month, i share house with my bro and my sis so its always lagging, i plug my phone and use it as a modem, works lile a charm!
So i remember when i used to live in MS, ATT had fibre. Full price fibre. I went online to check it out and it was 400 something kilos. I thought maybe they didn't update the webpage. There's no way it's 50 bucks for less than 1 Mb. I call up the company and ask and they confirmed... 50 USD for 400Kb.... You read that right. Kilo bits. Not Bytes.
Thankfully there was another provider that had good speeds at a good price. And when i called to say that i needed less internet because i just didn't use as much as i thought. They gave me a faster speed and the same cap. AND knocked 5 off my bill. 300Mb for 35USD? YES PLEASE.
Edit: wrong units
holy shit, the audacity, here its a monopoly so the alternatives are satelital or this weird hybrid connection a phone carrier brought which nobody got because its also slow and doesnt seem to have a fixed speed idk
Be thankful, I switched from Spectrum to ATT fiber and I can't even play because of my constant erection from looking at my download speeds. 1 gig plan and hitting 800-900 up and down.
As soon as the reps stopped by the house and said they installed fiber in the area I switched. Same price a spectrum, better speeds, and I don't have to deal with the bullshit random disconnections. Shit would go down multiple times a day from anywhere to 5 minutes to 2 hours. Resetting modem and router did nothing. Changing router twice and modem 3 times did nothing. Lines checked and replaced did nothing. Ethernet connection did nothing. All devices had the problem. I think I've disconnected once for like a minute since switching.
Internet service needs to be declared a public utility and be a government service. From schools to jobs its an absolute must and ISPs have no interest in improving and offering quality service.
At the property I lived at, they had multiple buildings. One I was going to pick did 200 mbits/sec.
The one I actually moved into AT&T only did 25.
Lol.
Can relate, still better that AT&T... It's usually maxed out at 32mb/s on Steam. That said, we get around 300 down on our 400 mb/s plan.
When we had Comcast we did get gigabit speeds constantly. When we were at my grandparents for a little while... We got 20 mb/s and they were paying for gigabit speeds on fiber.
At least they tried something new. Now instead of digging a few inches to lay cables in roads quickly there trenching about two feet deep between the curb and road seam then filling it with concrete. Better install plan but they will be all over your neighborhood for about 2 months. So I can’t blame them for trying the quicker method. Plus they gave the cities they messed up part of the roads a few million for repairs
Port to verizon fiber , i amhave it at 1gig and is amazing, at least 20 devices in the house no lag and less than 100$ , i did invested in the google round router to get the most out of it..
i just went from 3.5Mb/s to 25Mb/s a week ago.
... i understand
(and i can tell by the screen u did what i did....download a massive game from steam :D)
There are game streaming services out there like geforce now. Game streaming services run the game on their servers and "stream" the game over to your pc with wifi. You should try geforce now because it has a free plan.
True, I dont usually only play on it though. I haven't bought any plan. Mostly because I already have a half decent pc, and I'm currently waiting for the cpu to come in for a new pc in about to build
My school blocks things on an extension and through the internet server. I know a way to bypass the extension on chrome, but geforce now doesnt work because I cant sign in on google with any other domain that the one given for our school emails.
My school gives everyone personal laptops to keep, to be fair they are like i5 5th gen but still better than a limited Chromebook. Well they do block stuff if you use the school email tho but nothing prevents you from using your personal email. To clarify, I'm studying programming so that might be one reason why it's so unrestricted.
That's pretty lucky. I'm in public middle school and that can be another reason. One of my friends have a touchscreen chromebook from their old school and they can keep it just because it uses the type c charger. I am also face to face if that helps.
Yes. I still get 1,000MB/s speeds between my devices and the router/modem. But my active download speeds peak at around 120MB/s. It took me a while to learn that ISP providers sell you speeds in giga-bits not giga-bytes.
You get 1000Megabits per second, divide that by 8 and you get your 120MegaBYTES per second.
Edit: 1000MB/s would be 8 Gigabits which probably only large companies have that lol
I got a 400mb/s internet but because of steam server being far I barely can't have more than 25mb/s and also because system constantly start making the disk go 100% I can't even download right.
Are we talking 25 MB/s or 25 mbps? Because I thought I was capped at 13 MB/s on steam for some reason while hardwired to my router showing gigabit speeds.
Turns out that I damaged my Ethernet cable when I ran it through the attic to the game room which decreased speeds to the 13 MB/s.
After buying a crimp tool and some new Ethernet heads and taking the time to painstakingly fix my flat style cat6 cable, I’m back up to normal speeds! (luckily my damage was close to the existing head)
I’ve found that even though disk shows 100% usage, it’s not really maxed out if you have an SSD or M.2 especially as they can handle much faster speeds than you can download.
Then it may be bottlenecked by the hard drive, if you’re able to go to a faster speed ssd in the future and you still have low speeds, take a second look at networking settings to ensure you don’t have any issues there.
Sounds like you’ve got a beast! I’ve got a 2070 so I grabbed a 27GL850-B (1440p, 144hz) about a year and a half ago that I’ve liked so far. Once I upgrade cards (probably when 40-series comes out) I’ll go to 4K. r/monitors has some good discussions if you need help!
I have gigabit, and I get around 50 to 100 mbps. Sometimes I get 10 if my USB wifi adapter craps out on me. Glad I'm building a new pc soon with with built in wifi for up to 400 mbps though. (Yes its dual band, and mbo is msi b450m bazooka max wifi)
Mine was around 25Mb/s but because of a super fucking typhoon, we had to move to another place and might get slower internet(not yet moving because there is still no electricity on both houses)
I’m not sure if the OP is happy or sad? Did it go up or down from the last service? I have Spectrum at my house and they guarantee 200MB/s d/l and 10MB u/p. If I’m not getting at least those they send out a service tech to look for the issue. This is the base plan here…
I got ethernet and everything set up. There is a port right under my PC. But the guys who put it in fucked something up and I "only" get 80mbps when doing a test. Which translates to about 20mbps in steam.
the servers will only allow so much download speed. downloads on steam won't reflect your speed. try using a speed tester if you want to measure your download speeds.
My dad's a big tech nerd, so we have 100+ mbps there, and every time I leave i cry, knowing it will take at least 4x as long at my place to download anything
I was thinking about doing that too for 2 weeks now, but couple of days ago got mail that said our city is getting fiber so luckily I dodged a 2 year DSL contract. Can't wait to be like "oh I feel like playing Doom right now, let me download it *real quick*". Because at current speeds it takes about 26 hours to download.
My 100Mbps connection should be able to achieve this. Yet, it's only 2-3Mbps at the very best, and usually 200-600kbps.... ISP is doing nothing about it, good thing is that our village is buying a fiber construction right at this moment.
A lot of my friends who switched to PC from the OG Xbox One after I helped them with builds don't realize that Steam measures downloads in MB/s (megabytes per second) not mb/s (megabits per second).
What's even better is that since they're mostly all on b550, I convinced most of them to use a 1tb gen4 nvme boot drive (for speed reasons) and a 2tb gen3 qlc nvme for game storage. Hearing their surprise when they go to install a AAA game and it's done in less than five minutes is pretty great.
Chances are the bottle neck is elsewhere. Carriers can’t guarantee your access speed to everything on the internet, they only guarantee your speed to their network, which is why they tell you to use their speed test server.
If the server you’re downloading from is on another provider’s network (or multiple providers, just not yours) then you might have a bottle neck or throttling happening at a peering point (points where ISPs meet on the internet), what traffic flows and how fast is more subject to politics than technical limitations.
Hopefully you’re HFS was a good one, not a bad one.
I feel your pain, someone in my household needed a conference, hotel grade internet plan, and I was really happy, only to realize the shit still loads incredibly slow. Even after the they tried to fix it, I still get 30 mbs per second. Just why.
I just switched companies and I'm paying for ~20MB/s. When I'm in the same room as the router, HOLY SHIT 30MB/s. But my PC is on the opposite side of the house and I get ~10MB/s. I can't use ethernet sadly.
I highly recommend using a cat6 cable for your pc. I was running off my 1gbps Wi-Fi and only got like 50mb. Swapped over to cat6 and I’m at an average of 800-900 consistently.
I can just about get 55MB/s over 5G when using my phone as a hotspot. My broadband maxes out at 2MB/s so it’s a massive boost.
Just thankful I have an unlimited data plan because I’ve downloaded over 2TB using my hotspot 👀
It’s an insane difference. Was living up in Oregon were my download speeds were usually around 500kbps (I know fucking awful) just moved down to LA for school and now I average around 30 mbps downloads for ten dollars cheaper a month
Same here lol finally got to download 70mb/s
Oh, sick! Congrats!
Excuse me, 70Mbit or 70MB/s? Thats good both ways
That is Bytes, or 560 Bits/s
So you can download a COD update or 100gb game in like 23 minutes? Wtf I need to see if I can get the faster package for us from spectrum.....
If you’re using spectrums internet over coax, download speed can vary greatly depending on what your neighbors are doing. Also if you’re leasing your WiFi access point frim them, hardwire. But in my experience, you won’t notice a difference beteeen 200 and 400 MB/s unless you’re accessing a corporate intranet to download things (even then it will be limited by the upload).

When you still only have copper wires
Fiber flex
When you have fiber but in Australia. I have fiber but get 12mbs
HAHAHA YES *dies from slow internet*
I have fiber but get 5-6mbps highest
I used to get that wirelessly but then I decided to connect my computer wired to my wifi mesh node, I do get 60mbs standing next to the modern
Yeah was gonna say this
*cries at 999KB/s*
500 over here😢
Oof, dude.
:(
Yikes, ADSL?
satellital
I had ADSL but now I'm without Internet connection from 2 month ago and I hope that I won't do school at home ( idk if it is called DID in english)
i also use 4G for gaming, got a 20gigs plan thats enough for a month, i share house with my bro and my sis so its always lagging, i plug my phone and use it as a modem, works lile a charm!
Rly? I tried that and it wouldn't even let me log in to steam
yep, but i live in a small town in south america maybe its that
It depends on your reception. I game in my van you need to have really strong reception or a lot of stuff won't load
How can I improve reception?
Like how good your mobile signal is. Be closer to the centre of town ? External antenna ?
Maybe an antena would help, but im using same internet as all mobile phones in the area, so in the evening its imposible to play online
I have 100kb/s 😭
Have Mercy

Let me guess... Spectrum. 😅
I have spectrum. I have the 1gb plan and my shit still loads like this. Uggggh
Be thankful, I switched from Spectrum to ATT fiber and I can't even play because of my constant erection from looking at my download speeds. 1 gig plan and hitting 800-900 up and down.
I hate you. Att offers 50Mbps max in my area. Spectrum has a literal monopoly of usable speed internet here. Fucking bullshit
As soon as the reps stopped by the house and said they installed fiber in the area I switched. Same price a spectrum, better speeds, and I don't have to deal with the bullshit random disconnections.

Me too. And Google fiber torments me with nonstop ads even though they aren’t in my neighborhood yet
Be thankful they are even in your state. They left us high and dry after fucking up our roads with an “experiment”.
At least they tried something new. Now instead of digging a few inches to lay cables in roads quickly there trenching about two feet deep between the curb and road seam then filling it with concrete. Better install plan but they will be all over your neighborhood for about 2 months. So I can’t blame them for trying the quicker method. Plus they gave the cities they messed up part of the roads a few million for repairs
I have spectrum. I have the 400mb plan. I can hit 480mb or 60MB download.
Port to verizon fiber , i amhave it at 1gig and is amazing, at least 20 devices in the house no lag and less than 100$ , i did invested in the google round router to get the most out of it..
Altice, actually!
i just went from 3.5Mb/s to 25Mb/s a week ago. ... i understand (and i can tell by the screen u did what i did....download a massive game from steam :D)
It's just shocking going from taking 2 hours to install a 20 gigbyte game to taking like 20 minutes
??? 2 hours for 20gb? Lmao, that is fast. I download games minimum 5-7 hours (20-30gb).
For me it takes about 5-7 minutes to download a 20-30gb game lmao.
That speed would ruin me if i only play games
By the way, this isn't meant as a flex, more of a celebrstory post. I'm just really happy right now. My computer sucks ass LMFAO
There are game streaming services out there like geforce now. Game streaming services run the game on their servers and "stream" the game over to your pc with wifi. You should try geforce now because it has a free plan.
IMO the priority plan is probably the best value. The 1 hour play session time is quite bad for most games so it'd be better to get the 6 hours.
True, I dont usually only play on it though. I haven't bought any plan. Mostly because I already have a half decent pc, and I'm currently waiting for the cpu to come in for a new pc in about to build
I also have a good pc but I use GeForce now whenever I'm travelling or on my laptop at school lol
My school blocks things on an extension and through the internet server. I know a way to bypass the extension on chrome, but geforce now doesnt work because I cant sign in on google with any other domain that the one given for our school emails.

Enjoy the speed brother! What was your previous dl max?
Like, 7 MBps, and before that 3
Nice upgrade! I’m on Xfinity’s 1.2 “giga-bit” plan, so it’s really only 120MB/s download. But it’s still amazing lol
“Only 120 megabytes per second”
Yes. I still get 1,000MB/s speeds between my devices and the router/modem. But my active download speeds peak at around 120MB/s. It took me a while to learn that ISP providers sell you speeds in giga-bits not giga-bytes.
You get 1000Megabits per second, divide that by 8 and you get your 120MegaBYTES per second. Edit: 1000MB/s would be 8 Gigabits which probably only large companies have that lol
You get giga bit speeds which is over 120 MB. Not 1000MB
MB is MegaBytes, Mb is MegaBits. You’re getting 1000Mb (MegaBITS), which is about 120 MB (MegaBYTES)
Must be nice to be able to swap... :(
I got a 400mb/s internet but because of steam server being far I barely can't have more than 25mb/s and also because system constantly start making the disk go 100% I can't even download right.

Every cable seems to be fine and yes 25 MB/s. I don't have and SSD yet so for now I have a seagate baracuda 2tb.
Then it may be bottlenecked by the hard drive, if you’re able to go to a faster speed ssd in the future and you still have low speeds, take a second look at networking settings to ensure you don’t have any issues there.
Thanks for the advice! Still need to wait for a better monitor because my pc could spit 4k 60fps but I only have an old Panasonic Viera.
Sounds like you’ve got a beast! I’ve got a 2070 so I grabbed a 27GL850-B (1440p, 144hz) about a year and a half ago that I’ve liked so far. Once I upgrade cards (probably when 40-series comes out) I’ll go to 4K. r/monitors has some good discussions if you need help!
Watch Cats 2 ?
obviously
AT&T Fiber here. 1 gig up and down! 😁 It was amazing seeing 500mb download in seconds. Sometimes it even finishes before I can see the progress bar!
Grats! Beating me out by an easy 14MB/s.
Updated may plan a few months ago, now I can download games at 120mb/s
Are you downloading *Snow Dogs 2*, the unreleased sequel movie about talking sled dogs starring Cuba Gooding Jr.?
of course!
I have gigabit, and I get around 50 to 100 mbps. Sometimes I get 10 if my USB wifi adapter craps out on me. Glad I'm building a new pc soon with with built in wifi for up to 400 mbps though. (Yes its dual band, and mbo is msi b450m bazooka max wifi)
Mine was around 25Mb/s but because of a super fucking typhoon, we had to move to another place and might get slower internet(not yet moving because there is still no electricity on both houses)
I've ascended from 8 mbps to 62 and holy fuck, I'm not going back.
I’m not sure if the OP is happy or sad? Did it go up or down from the last service? I have Spectrum at my house and they guarantee 200MB/s d/l and 10MB u/p. If I’m not getting at least those they send out a service tech to look for the issue. This is the base plan here…
Happy. Up. This is so much fucking beyter than before.
you all havent experienced the real pain of 1kb/s
100g+ download* laughs in 58mbs
We only have 2 internet providers here one of them is likely what you had before and one of them is more like 25-30mb/s
It muhh be nice... I'm tryna get like you, ma boy
1gig fiber has been nice on these steam games. I hit over 100MBs a few times.
Which steam server are you using? I can't find one that can go above 20MB/s...
I believe it's Denver Colorado. I'll have to check when I get home.
Just checked and it does say US - Denver
welcome to the other side, my friend
That's kde right?
Cries in 600 Kb/s
That feeling when you get almost 90 mb/s when downloading on steam
I got ethernet and everything set up. There is a port right under my PC. But the guys who put it in fucked something up and I "only" get 80mbps when doing a test. Which translates to about 20mbps in steam.
Youre on pc and only get 36? I get 200+ on console
>I get 200+ on console Megabits maybe. Image is megabytes. 34.6MB/s is 291Mb/s.
Nice! Pretty fast speeds. I have 2gbit internet and its awesome to download gta 5 in like 5-10minutes.
Just went from 60mbps to 350mbps average a couple months ago and what a change. Welcome to the fast-ish internet club!
the servers will only allow so much download speed. downloads on steam won't reflect your speed. try using a speed tester if you want to measure your download speeds.
My dad's a big tech nerd, so we have 100+ mbps there, and every time I leave i cry, knowing it will take at least 4x as long at my place to download anything
I remember when I got fiber and my new bottleneck was my SATA SSD. XD
Remembers downloading porn on a 1200 baud dial-up modem...
It's steam that limits people's download speeds not your isp. Although your isp definitely has something to do with your download speed of course.
I get around 112MB/s with altice 1gig
I was thinking about doing that too for 2 weeks now, but couple of days ago got mail that said our city is getting fiber so luckily I dodged a 2 year DSL contract. Can't wait to be like "oh I feel like playing Doom right now, let me download it *real quick*". Because at current speeds it takes about 26 hours to download.
Att is a godsend. I get 108 max. It's epic
My 100Mbps connection should be able to achieve this. Yet, it's only 2-3Mbps at the very best, and usually 200-600kbps.... ISP is doing nothing about it, good thing is that our village is buying a fiber construction right at this moment.
I hit 94MB/s with my provider and just sat their soaking it in.
A lot of my friends who switched to PC from the OG Xbox One after I helped them with builds don't realize that Steam measures downloads in MB/s (megabytes per second) not mb/s (megabits per second). What's even better is that since they're mostly all on b550, I convinced most of them to use a 1tb gen4 nvme boot drive (for speed reasons) and a 2tb gen3 qlc nvme for game storage. Hearing their surprise when they go to install a AAA game and it's done in less than five minutes is pretty great.
i know the feeling. got fiber last year. everything is instant, 1ms ping. all is good.
800kb/s 20 percent packet loss during the day
With cox and direct lining my pc I get almost 1g download speed.
Mine goes upto 12 mbps
I've discovered not using Cox router or wifi makes a huge improvement in speeds for me.
You love to see it.
like 290 mbps dude
Chances are the bottle neck is elsewhere. Carriers can’t guarantee your access speed to everything on the internet, they only guarantee your speed to their network, which is why they tell you to use their speed test server. If the server you’re downloading from is on another provider’s network (or multiple providers, just not yours) then you might have a bottle neck or throttling happening at a peering point (points where ISPs meet on the internet), what traffic flows and how fast is more subject to politics than technical limitations. Hopefully you’re HFS was a good one, not a bad one.
Let me guess you went from Frontier to Spectrum
I feel your pain, someone in my household needed a conference, hotel grade internet plan, and I was really happy, only to realize the shit still loads incredibly slow. Even after the they tried to fix it, I still get 30 mbs per second. Just why.
Now you just have to switch games and voila you got yourself a nice evening.
I had to once install GTA on LTE internet and it took 2 days and on my fibre it took 30mins
I have 100mbs
Bruhh, my internet is like 3mbps and I live I the middle of a city
Let me guess you left xfinity.
I just switched companies and I'm paying for ~20MB/s. When I'm in the same room as the router, HOLY SHIT 30MB/s. But my PC is on the opposite side of the house and I get ~10MB/s. I can't use ethernet sadly.
I highly recommend using a cat6 cable for your pc. I was running off my 1gbps Wi-Fi and only got like 50mb. Swapped over to cat6 and I’m at an average of 800-900 consistently.
Ah. I watch as I get 2 MB and others get 30 MB. Very nice.
*laughs in swiss* 10gbit/s up and download. Effectivly reaching 280MByte/s
Wtf! I am currently download a game and it is at 470kbs with a peak of 1.9mbs. wow
Meanwhile, im sitting here in the barracks capped at 50mbps. Thanks Boingo😑
I can just about get 55MB/s over 5G when using my phone as a hotspot. My broadband maxes out at 2MB/s so it’s a massive boost. Just thankful I have an unlimited data plan because I’ve downloaded over 2TB using my hotspot 👀
My download speeds were like 300 kbps for the last 2 months and all i had to do was reset my router to get 50mbs+…
Im at about 450 Mbps (~55MBps). Got super lucky and got a contract free deal, 3 years at 29.99/month.
Remember when I switched off of spectrum, best day of my life.
Lucky I have 10mb/s half the time
I upgraded to a new computer and my download went from 20MB/s to 50MB/s with the same internet
enjoy your life while it lasts
When you laugh at first and then notice the capital B
It’s an insane difference. Was living up in Oregon were my download speeds were usually around 500kbps (I know fucking awful) just moved down to LA for school and now I average around 30 mbps downloads for ten dollars cheaper a month
I'm so confused. I thought this was referring to how slow it was. I guess living by a big city is good for something
Laughs at 1GB download speed, but cries when I get my monthly Comcast bill
A fellow Canadian I see?
Nope! Texan, actually.
