Some limiting factors might be my 10 + year-old primary router, the cable between that and the secondary router, or the cable between the 2nd router and the PC.
I’ve tested directly from the wall, with no routers in the mix and got a solid 1000/1000, maybe even a tad faster on a couple tries.
I have an option to upgrade to a 2000 or 8000 speed. I don’t see any need for a 8k external connection, but the upgrade from 1k to 2k isn’t too bad. Might do it later when my homelab is up and running and I find a better primary router with 2.5 gig (or faster connectivity).
The fastest dl speed I get is when downloading through steam, and rutracker, (only a third of what these sites show). Otherwise it is very much less. It looks like mullvad is slowing me down a bit also.
I would suggest another ISP, like ΔΕΗ, if you have availability. 12€/month for 1Gbit Fiber seems nice.
Bare in mind though that if one of the other ISPs has installed their equipment, the have to install their own floorboxes etc (the other three have an agreement for wholesale trading).
Here in Portugal we can say the same. Personally, I think Internet prices dropped because the government really wants everyone glued to social media, games, and whatever else—just so we don’t notice that literally everything else is getting more expensive.
Back in the day, they used football to keep people distracted. Now it’s Facebook. People complain non-stop online, but in the real world… well, let’s just say the “revolution” never leaves the comment section. But I’m going off-topic.
Fibre ? Not available here here, yet. Even if I live in a densely populated part of a major city.
There is definitely the feasibility that it’s already fibre to the curb and it’s only copper from the curb to the apartment building I’m living in.
Anyway, in my opinion. I could double my contract to 100 Mbit/s, but it’s not guaranteed that I achieve that speed consistently. Would be nice to have faster speed … but I’m totally fine with it currently.
The culprit is definitely the last stretch from the curb into the building. In short, if my landlord would pay for the installation of fibre within the building and each apartment.
Depending on what you’re doing (of course), that’s a quite adequate speed, I only upgraded mine from that this summer because of price changes ($8 difference to go up to 300+ vs 100+) made it attractive.
No clue how the pricing is in the Netherlands. But if it is similar to offerings here in Germany, I would also opt for a cheaper plan instead of the full 1Gb/s bandwidth. For 1 Gb/s fibre the Deutsche Telekom would ask 71,- € and their cheapest plan with 150 Mbit/s would be 46,- € monthly (with a 2 year contract).
Anyway, It’s not that often that you see someone whose downlink is slower then than his uplink
Rick, I last had DSL only about 12 years ago My parents home (where I moved for a few years to assist as they aged) was out in the country and that was the best I could do I’m curious if anything better is even now available out in the boonies.
Here has been a big push for Fibre Optic but is not available everywhere. Some places out in the country don’t have these options. We have either cable or fibre mostly although there may still be some using DSL. I’m just not aware of any in my small circle anymore. Back in the day I used to install dsl modems in pc’s when they became available as I was on that service myself. I don’t even have a landline anymore although i think they are still available if i really wanted it. I have fibre optic cable right into the house connected directly to the router. It is the fastest and we only have up to 3 Gbps where as they do offer up to 10 Gbps in some larger cities. Eventually we might get higher speeds but that will only come if they can sell it.
Well, its VDSL2 with supervectoring in my case. I’ve got it since almost 10 years or so. Luckily it’s not ADSL. But I’m a bit too far from the next DSLAM unit as it seems like, therefore the highest feasible downlink would be 100 Mbit.
Those who are lucky to have the next DSLAM right in front of their building might enjoy of up to 250 Mbits via VDSL2. And those who are a bit further down the road won’t even get the 50 Mbit.
All I know is that they’re transitioning in my neighborhood, FTTC transitioning began this October. And until April 2027 they will finish FTTH for those who have ordered it already.
People come on don’t include your location… or your public IP! Or your Ookla result ID because it leads to your location as well.
I am surprised to see this in a Linux forum, I thought most people would be more careful/paranoid about their privacy than I am.
I’m curious if anything better is even now available out in the boonies.
