How fast is your internet?

774162881.png

Average is 18 Mb/sec Down and 2.5 Mb/sec up
 
Upload seems to depend a lot on what server I select. Being at OSU in Columbus, I can get almost 20Mb/s from Piketon, but only 9.5 from Columbus, which should be closer, although apparently it isn't.

A big part of this is routing, especially if you pay attention to ping. Being closer to a server doesn't always mean that you will have fewer "hops" to it than to one further away. For anyone familiar with the Eastern portion of the US, I live in southern Kentucky, and I almost always test higher and have lower latency on speed tests to Chicago than on tests to Atlanta even though Atlanta is much closer.
After 5 "hops" on OSU's network, tracert gives me 10 hops to Columbus, OH (datacenter.bz), and 13 to Piketon, OH (scocak12.org). Columbus, OH is closer in both terms of hops and geography, yet is still much slower.
 


Pretty ok for a cable-TV connection I guess.

I recently got 100 mbps fiber in here but I have to change provider to use it...

Edit, I tried some more servers, New Zeeland was a little faster than Yellowknife but not much (about 25% of the speed of the local server here in Stockholm)
