The_Real_TCIII Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Spectrum came out today and upgraded me to 10/100, however when I speed test I get this. I emailed them and am waiting to hear what they say but this is pretty disappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy K Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 My internet through spectrum will hardly work between 4 and 5 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigVal Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I switched to Verizon and they said it's the fastest I can possibly get. It's the same speed as the time Warner that I had and that they made sound like it was ancient. Can't trust anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyantler Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have the slowest internet speed that Spectrum allows... 15mbps... it actually tests much higher... in the 20's for download and about 5-6 mbps for upload. You only need 5 mbps download speed to stream. I haven't had an issue since I went cable free and stream full time... even with my wife and I using the internet at the same time. The only issues I have had are when we have a house load of people and everyones phone connected to the wifi at once... which seldom happens.

BizCT Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 How do you guys check? I have directTV but use fios for internet. From what I’ve been told there is no difference between say 50 and 75Mbps. I only use internet for WiFi on smart phone. I don’t stream or download anything Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tortured (maybe not the best word for it) by DSL for MANY years. I fought the upgrade until one day the bastids pulled the plug on the DSL......I was left holding my d*%$ for a about 4-5 days until the tech's could fit me into their schedule. Not a single problem since but I pay for it. Grin..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigVal Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Good question I didn't know it could even be tested til I saw this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Good question I didn't know it could even be tested til I saw this thread Same. And I asked about upgrading from 50 to 75 once and they told me no point. Even up to 100 wouldn’t matter they told me. It’s all so close I guessSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moho81 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 From what I know they only guarantee the 100 wired to the computer not over WiFi I also think it has something to do with the equipment as well. I don’t remember exactly but@the_real_tcIII you getting shafted either way. I have the 100 and usually get in the 80’s when I test it over WiFi.

Elmo Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Most internet is shared so if you live next door to @turkeyfeathers, you're speed will be slow while he's streaming porn. Still, getting in the teens is ridiculous. You should be averaging around 60-90 Mps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only as fast as your slowest link but now a days you're stuff has to be ridiculously old not to support 100 Mbps. 10 Mbps was already ancient 20 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
