Internet speed

Post by Progrumz »

What is your Internet speed?

I have 1 Gbps fiber. However, I always use a VPN, so it decreases my speed.

I think my plan is 300 megabit fiber? I'll do a speed test in a while to see how it actually is. That said, I may have to change my plan soon. I was using ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program) to afford internet, but uh... They cancelled that program as of this month (this is the last month, I mean).

Yeah, it's unfortunate that ACP is ending. Many people were able to benefit from it.

Yeah, dad and I are debating paying the 50 bucks to keep our internet or switch companies. :/ We'll probably stick to fiber though.

Yes. After having fiber, there's no way I would ever go back to cable. The difference in reliability and consistency is just so noticeable.

Not the greatest showcase of my Internet speed...my Wireless sucks but that will hopefully be changing today when my new access point shows up. We pay for either 800mbps or 1gbps
I bet you can't see me now!

Decided to do a proper speedtest and share my results in an image like @TechWiz18 :3

My download is higher than my plan, cool!

Here's my speed with my VPN connected. I actually got much higher speeds with ProtonVPN, so I might end up going back to it. XD

That's always nice when you get a little more than you pay for. Usually the opposite happens. XD
