After 7 years of waiting, there's a possibility that I'll finally be moving from the 5 Mb connection :grin1:.

Don't worry, you're not the only one still waiting!

You should ditch your ISP and use carrier pigeons instead

Situation until yesterday:

Situation from yesterday onwards:

It's usually 40+ on both sides, when I was testing this it was a tad low

Fresh test:

Still HSPA DC - in which situations it is normal that Upload is about 4Mbps, in which situations it is not usual, and what is it depends to? Download Speed seems to be good.

jcgriff2 · Nov 14, 2017

Very often, download speed is several times that of upload speed - just like in your case and mine.

Here's mine -

Our ISP changed due to a merge.

Speed on the other side of the country with data.

Download here up a bit from normal 50 mbps -

Strange. Why is the result @jcgriff2 received for 76.12 Mbps faster than 95% of US and the result I received for 119.19 Mbps is only faster than 83% of US? Is it because of the upload speed?

Also, just going to Bing and typing speedtest this was the result there:

Sadly not very impressive compared to what we could be getting... but it's cheap, and there are only two of us in the flat.

Could have gone for a faster package if I was happy being locked into a 2+ year contract...

Have you ever felt that having a faster package was needed or would be helpful to you?

FIOS is now offering packages with up to 940 Mbps and I can't imagine that speed ever really being used. I don't think I'd notice a difference even if I had FIOS' 940 plan vs. my current plan (from the cable TV company) that ran in the Speedtest @ 76/37 Mbps Download/Upload speed respectively. My download speed has increased by 1.5x and upload speed by 5x over the last few years - same plan/package.

Sure - I'm routinely running into bandwidth limits, with only two people in the flat. Regularly downloading larger files, e.g. games, which can be 50-80GB, then if you add in 4K streaming on multiple devices then you can quickly need 50mbps at a minimum.

Then we have things like Google Stadia:
Stadia Founder's Edition

37mpbs is currently fine - but in a few years time it'll be seen as on the lower end and not sufficient for how many people use the internet. Remember - it wasn't very long ago that 37mbps was the equivalent of today's 1gbps - "how could you possibly use 37mbps???".
