Your internet speed?

[John Mabrey]

They really fuck us in america almost as much as they fuck us in the drive thru

What! How are you people getting these high numbers?? My ping is 10. Download 64.97. Upload 10.84. How much do you pay per month for 300+?

Way too much because ISPs are bullshit. I pay like 100 a month. I could pay less for pretty drastically reduced speeds, but I like being able to download a video game quickly if I want to.

The only other ISP in town offers 3 Mbps for like 45. It's comically ridiculous.

That's crazy upload speed! I ran a few tests and could get my ping as low as 3, but the overall speed would dip below 900 Mbps if my ping went below 5, weird. This is the only one I took a screenshot of.

I still remembered what it was like to be on 28.8 for the longest time and when I got 1+Mb on Comcast I thought the world had come to an end.

I don't remember what the actual speed of my first cable connection was, but I do recall being amazed how quickly I could download songs on Napster, like minutes lol

Now we're downloading 10 gig+ games in minutes!

10 gig games?

 

[John Mabrey]

Most games are like at least 50gb nowadays

 

[John Mabrey]

The blu rays I download are around 10-15gb tho

10 gig games?

Most games are like at least 50gb nowadays

I'm saying i download a 10 GB+ game at the same rate I used to download songs on Napster.

There are plenty of smaller file games in and under the 10 GB mark released today

[John Mabrey]

My average download in steam is like 30 min or something

 

[GtehMVP]

Such as what

Blasphemous 4 gigs
Amid Evil 3 gigs
Octopath Traveler 3 gigs
Dead Cells 500 MB
The long Dark 10-ish Gigs

etc... tons of smaller file games, not sure why you even question that?

What the.. where do you live? can you even watch youtube with this speed?

These threads used to be much more relevant 15 years ago when your internet speed actually dictated load up times to websites and the ability to download something with a half decent speed. Today you really can't tell the difference between a 50 mbps connection and a 500 mbps one in most scenarios. Unless you're living in remote areas or somewhere with a shit infrastructure like Argentina or Sudan you are most likely fine.

This is been my personal experience. I had 100mbps vs 350, and it couldn’t tell a difference at all.

currently I’m on 50, and I suppose I won’t experience anything different
