You know what Mr Natural replied to Flakey Foont when Flakey asked,
"But Mr. Natural, what does it all mean?"
LOL...In @SlickWilly 's example:
It means that his machine/connection takes 15 milliseconds to reply to a "ping", a
query (another computer on a network) to determine whether there is a connection to it.
He can download data at 23.70 Mbps. Megabits per second (Mbps) are a unit of measurement for bandwidth and throughput on a network. ... Mbps belongs to a family of metrics used to measure the capacity and speed of data transfer...and can upload data at 2.33 Mbps.
The larger the numbers the faster the connection..
As does the average speed on I-95 depending on traffic and time...
Not at all, those are good speeds.
Bell (my Provider) is hoping to run fiber optic to every house here so speeds are very fast.
ATT has started deploying fiber here in S. FL.
I give it five years before most of N. America is networked with fiber
Poor Dear, $61 for...Verizon's "Elite"..for a little more you could get ATT fiber or fly with Comcast.
Depends on the speed you pay for. I have fiber and regularly get 850+ Mbps on my LR couch, paying for 1 Gbps.
No, yours isn't the worst but it's not all that great either, unless you do a lot of video streaming and downloading large files at the same time or have multiple users in the house you probably won't have a problem. Mine is slow, if the wife is watching Netflix and at the same time I try to download some large file like a movie it will cause her video to freeze up so I have to be careful what I download when she's home. A year ago I was only getting between 12-15 mbps download and I was having problems with the modem dropping out. After trying a couple different modems they finally sent a tech out, he ran a new line from the pole to the house, it was the same line we had installed 30 years ago. Since then it improved but not that much, at least the modem doesn't drop out anymore. For the money it cost me I should get ear nibbles and a courtesy reach around.
Depends on your perspective and what you use it for. At my cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, I'm lucky to get 1.5 mbps down and 0.5 up, yet I manage there somehow. Given that one can stream a 4k video with 25 mbps, I'm not sure I understand what the point of having more than that (perhaps per person) is in a residential application.
I don't do any streaming or movies or games or nuttin - I don't know how even.
Pretty much just ECF and owl cams and eagle cams

I think my batteries may be doing that bc it's much weaker during the flashing.
That's actually pretty sweet, I wish I kept my old dna40 Hana.
That's good enough for streaming, if you can convince her, I'd ditch the cable & just get stuff you actually want to watch... I pay about 75/mo for internet/netflix/Hulu/amazon and some other stuff. Sometimes I'll pick up PS vue or sling on a deal or something but never for very long bc we never end up using it... 90% of what I watch is on Netflix and Amazon Prime... The awesome thing is you'll never have to mess with a dvr again, you get to pay for what you want, and watch it when you want.
Imo the whole, TV on some arbitrary schedule thing is dated and needs to go away. They make you pay to rent crappy equipment and if I don't pay for a dvr, and sit down to watch something, what am I supposed to just watch whatever is on? I call that not having respect for the customer's time, & most on-demand is set up to siphon even more money out of you, you can watch the latest, but anything older than the current season you have to pay...
Cable companies just seem clueless, every time I deal with mine they try to sell me TV & are like blown away, "you only want internet?" I was looking at statistics the other day & Netflix has now more subs than all of the cable companies in the US combined, and more people every year are cutting the cord.
#1 are you using wifi? #2 are you using their supplied modem/router combo? The only problem I had with fios is the modems they make you use are terrible, you get to choose between a dual band with a single antenna, or a 2.4 with two antennas... when I had fios I disabled everything and just used my own router.
