r/speedtest

A bit on the expensive side, but stable.

Was on the phone with tier-3 support troubleshooting a routing issue on my dish. Tech said he was pushing a custom development firmware to test the terminal. He told me to run a test and it pulled this. I asked him if this was a mistake and the line went dead.

Absolutely cooking 🔥

Fastest speed test I’ve ever been able to get on AT&T 5G https://www.speedtest.net/result/i/7079313858

Not sure why. but on google it is 18 - 22 or something on fast it is 18 - 25. but Ookla its constant 37 - 38.

the speed that im subscribed to is 30mpbs according to my ISP. if i do a download according to this the speed should be 3.75mb/s

but it is like 2.25mb/s which is 18mbps.

i don't think it's a server issue because most of them are close servers and the ping is the same for all of them.

also the upload latency is insane. idk this is somehow peak. in other cases the speed was measuring 0.28mbps download and 7mbps upload

Noticed my phone was loading crazy fast, like never before. Did the test for fun. I had no idea cell networks were capable of speeds like this.

AST SpaceMobile just turned a satellite demo into a telecom warning shot.

The company says it reached 98.9 Mbps peak download speed from an in-orbit Block 1 BlueBird satellite directly to an unmodified smartphone over international waters. No special satellite phone. No extra hardware. Just a standard device talking to space.

That matters because satellite-to-phone service has mostly been framed as emergency texting, basic messaging or “dead zone” coverage. A near-100 Mbps test changes the imagination. Suddenly, this starts to look less like a backup signal and more like a future layer of mobile broadband.

The angle is extra interesting. AST says its commercial partner ecosystem now includes Telus, in addition to existing partner Bell Canada. The company also names Canada as one of the markets where scaled ground integration is beginning.

The caveat: this is still a peak test, not a normal consumer plan. The real questions are coverage, pricing, latency, capacity and whether this becomes a premium add-on or part of regular mobile plans.

Space is not replacing towers yet. But it is starting to knock on the network door.

While everyone's Download Speed is high and upload speed is low, mine is opposite.

The ratio is too big. Home WiFi plan is around 45€ where as my phones data plan is just 10€ per month

We built a speed test that does more than show download and upload speeds.

After the test, it compares your result with internet plans available at your location, so you can see if your current speed matches what you are paying for, and what similar plans might cost.

I’m curious if tools like this exist in other countries too. Most speed tests show performance, but they don’t usually connect it to plan pricing.
