I was getting worried I'd have the worst results! Phew.

Up until a few months ago I just had a 3Mbit line too! :downs:

ISP tripled my downlink speed for no reason:



Not terrible for ~$50/month (would be $35 but I"m lazy and am renting the modem).

Not that the ISPs are blameless but a lot of the complaints come from a vocal minority. Bear in mind that a lot of them don't know how the hell it works either, and will complain their internet is slow when three people are trying to watch videos simultaneously on a 2/1 SUPER BUDGET XXTREEM internet connection because they refuse to pay more than the absolute minimum. :smithicide:

And at the other extreme, you have people who desperately want a gigabit down even though it's only useful if you have five simultaneous 4k Netflix streams going on.

I was running into my internet cap. The ISP charges me $10 for 50GB if I go over. I look up the rates, and I can upgrade to the next tier of internet (100 Mbit) for an extra $10/month, and it comes with an extra 100GB of cap space. I have now doubled my internet, and all it took was pressing a button and having the modem reboot automatically.

The future is cool.

Oh and speed test results because that's a thing:
