    So im wondering everyones speeds from around the world. I have comcast internet, the fastest i can get in my area. Directly from my modem i get around 175 Mbp/s download, and 24 Mbp/s and from my router i get 140 Mbp/s Down and 21 Mbp/s Up.

    I never know what to use as a speed metric.

    My old speed tested better on Speedtest style sites(140-180ish down, 15-30ish up), but I'd cap out around 3-4 MB downloads through things like steam or bittorrent. This was hooked into a router on a wired connection.

    Now, Speedtest is telling me I have half the speed(46.8 down, 29.08 up), but I cap out over 7 MB/s through steam and whatnot. This is using wifi in a basement.

    Functionally I'm better now. Technically it looks like it used to be better. I'm not tech savvy enough to know what the bottleneck was. Steam could very well have upped their upload, but bittorrent shouldn't have any sort of limit like that(at least not on my settings).

    So ubers launcher i think uses MB as my metric for speed im downloading. not sure. so 12 MB is needed to be x8 to make it into Megabits (Mb). since my 170 Mb translates to around 21.75 MB or something like that.

    Also with your wireless all madders on the type of wifi it is. 2.4 Ghz to 5Ghz is about 2 times the speed different. more Ghz less range, more power. on my phone with its limited ability actually receive wifi well it gets about 100 Mbps down on the Ghz about 20 feet from the router. were my 2.4 gives me 45ish, but i can keep around a 5Mbps signal with 2.4 up to 100 feet away now with my new router.

    This is 4G LTE capped at 50 down, 25 up. It usually reaches the cap on both but it's pretty much peak time now so download's a bit slower.

    Download is great, upload is shoddy though. =L

    Normally first into servers with like 20 or less ping if I'm super lucky normally up to 60 though. Makes me feel special. -w-

    Idk whats going on with the wonky stuff but a Mbps is eight times MB/s. So if you got 3MB/s it should be 24mbps.

    No that's my router, I was just using my phone at the time. I couldn't imagine mobile speed that fast. XD

    Notice the Suddenlink bit? I don't even think they do 4G stuff. AT&T is my mobile provider. :p

    I have 50Mb/s
    ISP recently rolled out 100 in our area - it's a sham, they didn't upgrade any infrastructure, just oversubscribed more. So I didn't buy it.

    How did you guys embed that so nicely?

    Anyways, multiply my numbers by 8 to find my speed in bits. I measure in bytes because that's how data is measured in, and usually I'm looking at data, not stream speeds. (I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this @squishypon3 ) http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4432076816

    Note: My ping is unbelievably good today; usually it's 50+ but I'll take it! (I also think my ISP upgraded his towers) I have wireless broadband, kind of like cellphone networks, but not, it's not through actually Time Warner.
