Hotel WiFi vs Verizon 5G UW speedtest in hotel room

The hotel WiFi is so horrible because how bad it’s throttled, the bare minimum would to give us a good WiFi connection and not be almost 200x slower than cellular

(before and after)

I want to seriously apologized to everyone that kept telling me to buy an Ethernet cable and I didn't do it cuz I was lazy

Virtually no upload speed despite great download speeds on certain bands.

The SNR is often negative so I shouldn't be too surprised, but that's a crazy imbalance between upload and download.

Strange browser and app dependant results.

I've just had FTTP installed (in the UK, Openreach infrastructure and Vodafone as the ISP). My contract states 500/67 down/up.
When I test this using the Speedtest.net website on Safari (I'm on a Macbook) this is what I get, consistently, repeatably, both on WiFi and when I plug in using a USB-C / Ethernet adaptor.

Other approaches - much more confusing.

Same hardware - Arc and Firefox and Chrome - download never gets above 370, but all pretty consistent.

Speedtest app: also ~370 download.

It's upload that's really strange - all methods other than Safari show a very severe drop off during the test - I start with a peak of ~65, and then it drops off rapidly, finishing off at the end of the test period at barely 1Mb, sometimes even zero.

I can understand some variation between browsers for download speed - they will have different SW stacks, but what in particular is causing the upload drop-off during the test, especially on the speedtest app, which I understood was the 'gold standard' on any platform?

(Can't seem to add a screenshot......)

Home WiFi + Mobile Network

My home internet and my phone are both on AT&T. The first photo is my WiFi, the second is my phone with WiFi turned off. The final photo is my mobile connection in the middle of the major town around me. I live outside the city limits. My home WiFi bounces around 250-770 and my phone usually around 500-700 at my house.

I’ll take it.

Ps5 speed Vs router speed

So I have fibre optic broadband, it streams, downloads and does everything and more with about 300mbps download speed.

My problem comes with my ps5. I'm not getting the speeds on that that I should. Wireless it's around 60 and when I hard wired it, it's about 90.

It's affecting online gameplay and I often get lag and spikes. Is it a ps5 fault or something in my router stopping it?

Upgraded to 2gb service, but speed remains the same at 1gb

I am getting fiber shortly, construction happening now in my street. I was able to upgrade my xfinity to 2gb at no additional charge so I started testing out my network for higher speeds.

I have a raid system that runs 10gb on cat, a server that has dual 10gb sfp+ and a couple of 10gb NIC's for other computers, as well as all cat6a cabling and 2.5-10gb switches (10gb between switches and all devices are on 10gb connected switches/ports).

I can run speed tests between devices and get anywhere from 6-9+gb, and a test from xfinity to my house runs at 2gb+... I have tried other cables as well but still max out at 1gb internet. Customer service says it is a hardware issue...

Any thoughts as to what I can try?

Replacement for pong.com?

I got a tip about this site in the German section and it was just so useful... but as of today the site is unusable /

When I click on the saved link, all I see is a blank page...

https://www.pong.com/ping-test

In case anyone isn't familiar with the site... all the gaming servers were pinned...so you had a nice overview... which is important to me since I don't use GeForce Now.

Thanks

mint mobile - california, usa 5G

u/Active_Camera3034 — 8 days ago

what speed?

ik this is really random but what speed does the green circle and say “your connected to the internet” show? it must be like 10 mbps cause i’ve had 1 mbps or 2 before with lte and 1 bar in an area and it doesn’t say that

Should I change my internet provider or am I good?

My mom choose this one without asking me first, might have to change it 🤔
