I'm lucky if i get 1 MB/s down and 100 KB/s up, so all these results make me cry a little bit (actually quite a lot).
So after my jokey glitch result, my actual download speed isn't that great. Better than some people though.
Your download beats mine. I get a bit more upload though. And your ping is 1 third of mine. I almost never get below a 25 ping with anything. I wonder why though... I live in west michigan, it's not like I'm in the middle of nowhere...
Copper, and pretty new copper at that. This speed is due to congestion caused by the incumbent telecom provider deciding that 100 internet connections fed with low bandwidth was all the largest housing development in my area needed. Any new houses can't get fixed line internet because there are no ports left and I was very lucky to get what I could. It's not always that slow, but it gets like that every school afternoon when everyone in the estate is on the internet at once. I pay for 8192/384kbps (the max available) and it's a good day if I see ~2000/320kbps consistently. I have pulled speeds close to 8Mbps on rare occasion as the line can handle it, but congestion makes using the internet a nightmare during peak hours. Not too far away, I get 10-18/0.8Mbps where congestion isn't an issue (paying for 20/1Mbps). Geolocation doesn't work in Australia for desktop PCs most of the time. That 1200 miles is from somewhere in the middle of Australia because all it could determine was that I was in Australia. My ISPs data centre is in Sydney, and all traffic routes via that, so that's the best place to test. Sydney is still quite far from me, but it's still a lot closer than 1200 miles (~2000km)
Lol. The ESP8266 can transfer more data then that. (It's a 5$) Edit: Not the copper, the internet speed.
At this point you get bottlenecked by the server you're connecting to and/or disk speed when downloading large files.
Switched to talktalk and its terrible. Ringed them they said that they are going to stabilise the connection to have the best stable and fast connection
